[HPFGU-Texas] T-Shirts, etc.

[Cait Hunter]

OOh. Yours works much better. Thanks. I knew I was messing that up, but my 
books are all in storage (grr) and I can't get to them. (Yes, I can get to 
the HP books and the manga and my dog books, but not the heraldry and the 
history book except for the Black Plague book that I'm re-reading.. I have 
my priorities...)

Cait, going to go pull out the paints and draw this. I like the pall idea 
too, actually.. .let me go try both and see what gives.
