World Book Day :: and the tale of the Ron Weasley Sweater ::
Posted by vicki brown on
Those of you with children will probably know that last Thursday was World Book Day. A day where parents across the world find themselves frantically trying to cobble together a book themed costume for their little ones.

Something I could work on whilst being filled with inspiration at the event and something I could use to entertain myself whilst travelling.
