One of my granddaughters always wanted to be a princess, but her sister wanted me to make a jellyfish costume for her. And so I did. Have you noticed how silly the calendar is this year? Valentine's Day is Ash Wednesday and April Fool's Day is the same as Easter. And you were a gorgeous cat this year.Thickethouse.wordpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187303460677067276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-7727234355352476372018-02-14T14:41:41.192+01:002018-02-14T14:41:41.192+01:00Hello!!
