I thought it was still Monday... Showcase!

Soooooo many wonderful things turned in by Ravenclaws in the last week of May!!!  It took so long looking through all those class threads that somehow it is already Tuesday, and I am once again a day late for our Monday showcase!  And since you've all had to wait an extra day, let's not wait any longer...

First off, here are all the projects that stood out when I was going through class threads.  Trust me, it was hard to choose just these, but here are the winners of this week's Golden Pickle Award.
