Thank you!  I took some pictures to my friend's house Saturday (she's a big
HP fan) and she loved it!

I kind of doubt it.  Although I'm making everything permanent on it so that
I can keep it for future reference.  Who knows, maybe to the midnight
opening for OoP?

Thanks!  Now I must tell the tale of the tie.  As some of you may remember,
I had looked EVERYWHERE for the right tie.  Other than the $40 at Dillards
that I refused to buy, there was none at all.  Well, finally as a last
resort I went through a box of ties my aunt had sent to my cousin, who
rarely wears ties.  No gold and burgandy striped, but there was a solid
burgandy, patterned with stripes.  So, I bought gold ribbon, and followed
the patterned stripes in the burgandy to make it gold and burgandy striped!
I was pretty impressed with the outcome, if I do say so myself.  Though I
must say, who invented ties?  They are most uncomfortable!  Of course, men
don't have to wear high heels either.

Well, close enough.  If a college graduation robe will do, why not a hobbit
robe? :)
Everyone remember to take lots of pictures to post!  I want to see them!
