For the reading holiday at school, I decorated a podium in the form of a book party.

Today Rostik received handmade gifts from people he is dear to. From me—a юбилейный cake, from Anya—a bookmark with a heartfelt message, and from Masha—a painted personalized mug.

Today I worked on decorating the school entrances with a winter theme. And in the hall, she hung snowflakes made with quilling from toilet paper rolls.

I went to a second-hand store today and found a cute Barbie and a mini Disney Animator’s Little Mermaid. I still couldn’t identify the Barbie; I only found one low-quality promotional photo online, and it’s likely some early Barbie Fashions.

Finally received my last Christmas presents – they are Belatrix Lestrange and Cho Chang.
from Wizarding World Mattel. They are wonderful!

Today I tried out my second gift – an Addi Express knitting machine. In two hours, just by turning a knob, I got such a beautiful set for Mashunya, to match her jacket.

Today my New Year’s gift arrived—Sirius Black Wizarding World Mattel. He’s a handsome man, well-rendered and looks like the original from the movie.
