If you are a FaceBook friend of mine https://www.facebook.com/JessicaAnnLane3 , then you know all about my beloved cat Mitzu.  He needs medical treatment and we are trying hard to raise money to help pay for it.  I am doing several things to raise money: First, I am selling all of my Pirate costumes and Art Prints in my Etsy shop for 20% Off with coupon code PRAYFORMITZU   https://www.etsy.com/shop/messyjessycreatesart   Just in time for the holidays!  They make great gifts!

I LOVE the catalog and clothing from www.freepeople.com  and used their newest catalog to help express what magic means to me.
