For Lola


To my baby girl who has changed my life forever.
I found this gorgeous poem that I think reflects our relationship


"When you look into my eyes I know what you will see.
There is only love and trust where fear once used to be.

For I was an abandoned animal a cold and hungry stray.
But you reached out your gentle hands
And took me home to stay.

I've eagerly accepted the compassion you have shown.
I soon forgot the times
When I was frightened and alone.

You opened up your heart to me
And taught me how to trust.
You've given me a loving home where kindness is a must.

So when you gaze into my face I hope you'll realize.
That "love without condition" is reflected in my eyes. "

I love you so much Lola-Bear, more than words can ever say xo

Aww, this is so sweet! ♥ What a great poem :)

I haven't been by your Blog in so long D: I finally updated mine Tuesday! I haven't posted in more then a month D: I think that's too long for me to stay away!! ;D

Hey, I was wondering- did you make the banner and do the background for your Blog, or did you have somebody to do it for you? And also, how did you get a signature!? I love your Blog setup and the colors are soooo gorgeous! I want to give mine a makeover... like, with something different then just the choices on Blogger... so any information on where you got the beautiful background would be helpful! :D Seeing how you’ve got your own online shops… you must have some experience with computer stuff ;)

thanks Em :)

Hi Jordan :)
I made the banner myself and I could probably help you out, but I only know how to do it for the blogger style templates. My background is from Pyzam, and I took out the coding that puts the ugly orange bar and logo across your blog. The signature I learnt how to do off this tutorial: http://www.kevinandamanda.com/whatsnew/tutorials/add-a-signature-to-every-blog-post-on-your-bloggerblogspot-blog.html

its pretty simple to follow and once you've done it once you never have to do it again :)

Hope this helps let me know if you have any other problems or questions and Ill do my best!

Thanks Georgia!! I found a few things (and completely changed up my Blog! :)... I still have to figure out how to make a signature, because the only photo editor I have on my laptop is Photoscape... which doesn't do what I want >:P
I really want to buy PhotoShop- so someday I'll have a signature ;)

Thanks for your help! ♥
