Spring-Summer 2010 Organization Stuff

Review

This is an organization post of what we'll be doing in May-July, 2010. This is for absolutely-positive-going-to-happen stuff. Fluttervale (that's me!) won't be playing but will be doing 100% focus on the blog so if there's anything you'd like, PM her.

You should also visit or join the organization group here for suggestions, comments, ideas, etc.

Prizes

Next term, these prizes are being offered:

A Fluttervale Quilt

Quilt to be raffled to Hufflepuffs only. Earn one ticket for each completed homework that is noted as for charity. Make a note in the homework turn-in post that it is for charity (must be in the turn-in post, not a reply, so edit as necessary). Please don't earburn Fluttervale. Charity (must be completely for charity) OWL's earn 15 tickets, and NEWT's will earn one ticket for each 10 points earned. The quilt that is up for raffle is this one:



Yeah, I know it's not finished yet. It will be bordered in, most likely, coordinating blue and bound in yellow. Maybe orange. Depends on how it looks once the rest of the fabric arrives.

Set of Fluttervale Quilted Placemats

This prize will go to anyone, in any non-Hufflepuff house, raffle tickets to be earned the same way as tickets for the quilt. Mats will be made in the winner's house colors, or in House Pride colors if you prefer. Set of 4 placemats.

Badges

Ninja Needles



This badge is for anyone who completes all 18 homework assignments in any one term. Retro-active, you can take the badge if you completed Winter10, or any previous term. (RayOLR)

Personal Goal Badge



This badge is for anyone who meets their own personal goal for any given term, starting with Winter10. You can declare your goal if you wish, but you are not required to do so. (RayOLR)

The Hermoine Badge



This badge is in honor of Hermoine and her Time-Turner abilities. To earn this special badge, the Hufflepuff must complete all available assignments, all available OWL's (one for Firsties, two for everyone else), and participate in Quidditch and any other in-term activities organized by the staff. (Fluttervale)

The Ron Badge



This badge is in honor of Ron and his incredible ability to get hurt, but persevere through. This award will be given to Hufflepuffs who are afflicted with various injuries or maladies, or just sheer bad luck, during the term. Possibilities include medical issues, family emergencies, and other various issues. To win this award, you will probably want to stay active in the Common Room. (Fluttervale)

The Harry Award



This badge is in honor of Harry's selfless sacrifices through the books. A Hufflepuff can win this award by showing true character and by crossing house lines to help others. Ways to help include posting photos for someone else, sending yarn, that sort of thing. (Fluttervale)

Daily/Weekly Features

Also, feel free to make suggestions.

Huff Hookers Win Big!

Great Job Chasers!

The Huff Hookers up and spanked the rest of the houses in the Crochet Chaser portion of Quidditch. No, really, have a look:

Hufflepuff: 293 (258 + 35 bonus)
Slytherin: 247
Gryffindor: 245
Ravenclaw: 244

Even WITHOUT the bonus points, the Huff Hookers were a head above the other three teams.

Great job, guys! We love you!

Saturday, March 13, 2010

And the winner is...

Heads up, Huffs. The prize winners of the month have been announced.

Let's hear a round of applause to:
faerie who won a skein of handpainted yarn from Donkeyeggs for her "I hate cancer" scarf from potions and
suzanneoswald who won a set of stitch markers from mothlight for her Modified Hemlock Ring Afghan from detention.

Good job, girls!

February prize nominations

Hello, everyone!
Once again the prize nominations are up. Hooray! And since our house is so full of talented, intelligent, charming, polite, funny, creative, responsible, extraordinary - ahem... humble students, we are as usual quite well represented. So let's go vote for our friends:

Treesh nominated for her colonnade shawl from DADA. It sure looks cozy!
Yarnvista nominated for her ingenuous "pillow-blanket" from Charms.
Melissa13 got a nomination for her romantic golden socks from Herbology.
Lalaith nominated for her adorable mermaid from Herbology as well.
JMN nominated for her Potions' kilt hose, which look really complicated even though she said they were quick to knit.
Faerie nominated for her anti-cancer scarf from Potions.
Curiouskate nominated for her beautiful Transfiguration scarf, featuring Centered Quadruple Decreases(!).
Suzanneoswald received two nominations: for her Modified Hemlock Ring Afghan from detention and for her Luna Moth shawl, submitted as her finished OWL. Two great achievements!

Congratulations to the nominees! We are all very proud of you!
