Harry Potter Studio Tour Scrapbook

For my 17th birthday, my lovely auntie has promised to take my sister and I to the Warner Brothers Studio Tour 'The Making of Harry Potter' in Leavesdon. In order to prepare myself for the heart-stopping, tear-jerking adventure of a lifetime I have started to create a scrapbook to fill with photographs, sketches, quotes and tickets from and of the magical world that is Harry Potter. 

With more to be updated, here is my scrapbook so far...

Summer Challenge: Spanish

Hola! 

Every summer, to keep me productive, I challenge myself to a new task or project to tackle. Last year saw the return of project learn the keyboard "properly" (still only know the beginning of 'how to save a life' and 'yellow') and the year before I attempted what could only be named 'stay awake for 24 hours and don't die in the process'. Both turned out to be utter failures, of course. However, this summer shall be different (fingers crossed), because this year I'm attempting something somewhat useful; I am going to learn Spanish, wahoo! (Que tremendous handclap). Using only the power of the Internet (and perhaps a 'Spanish for dummies' book) I shall hopefully be able to speak fluent Spanish. Haha only kidding, I'm just hoping I'll be able to at least say "I cannot speak Spanish" for any possible future travelling. 

Wish me luck and adios (*wink wink*)

A Slightly Late Birthday Haul

So having turned 17 on the 1st of June it never really occurred to me to post a birthday haul. But typically, being a fortnight later, I stumble upon the idea. Some may not be interested, but I thought I'd share anyway; something for me to look back on in the future, eh? 

As well as money towards the camera I'm saving for (FujiFilm X10) I received some lovely and thoughtful gifts. Including a gorgeous Back to the Future box set and one of my newly favourite films Premium Rush...

...Bath and body products including Soap&Glory hand cream and my favourite scent (passion fruit) body mist...

... An awesome golden snitch bracelet as well as beautiful jewellery and accessories from les amis...

...Disney princess goodies (of course)...

...What is now known as my travel trunk, in which I will store all my travelling experiences and memories to come...

...Film Listography!!!...

...and gift cards for all my favourite places, including Odeon cinema!

I am grateful for every single one of my lovely presents and am very lucky to have such generous people in my life. Thank you everyone!
