MAGIC

Presto-change-o! Laura Iseley waves her wand over the LMP Season II finale, conjuring Sarah & her MAGIC! Sarah's just a pinch of stardust trying to twinkle. She's found many treasures on this second leg of questing, including her once lost MAGIC. Laura is an artisan who dabbles in many mediums, including – but certainly not limited to – collage, content creation, and cosplay. Laura is Sarah's sister, travel companion, SCUBA buddy, little-treat-encourager, and friend. As much as she might like to be, however, she is not a baby pig. She might, however, turn you into a toad, if given the chance. ~*~*~* Read more about Sarah and follow along on our quest here [https://letmeplayproject.substack.com/p/magic]! *~*~*~ Tag along with Sarah on her ventures @sarah_final_v.1 [https://www.instagram.com/sarah_final_v.1/] on Instagram and @justmisssarah [https://www.tiktok.com/@justmisssarah?lang=en] on TikTok.
