[Elfsea] FW: update on Arabella

[Terri Head]

having lost friends to aneuryisms, I'm just glad that you're alive, and functioning properly!

Re: the hair... we can do henna doodlings on your head lol! they fade a week or two after applied, and will give you a different look until your hair grows back... that is, if you're brave enough to try it! :o)


Glad Prayer works!
