OMG floaty pens. I love my floaties

I have 800+ of them and I'm still a lightweight in the floaty collecting world

I also collect giraffes but am a little more discriminating in my selections (I'd love to get them all but.. giraffes are popular).

yes I have a giraffe floaty pen

OMG - first of all - I LOVE your new LJ format!!! I'm dying over here! I doubt this is a free one?? :((((((((((

Anyway -- I collect butterflies (not real ones, btw LOL). I'm pretty sure I've mentioned that my mom comes to me as a butterfly now... If it's a butterfly - I *want* it. :) I used to collect birds (figurines, etc.) I used to have cockatiels when I was young and I would still have them if I didn't have all my kitties. :) I also collected whales and dolphin stuff as I wanted to be a trainer!

Oh, I used to collect angel stuff too and I do have a special thing for giraffes too - actually baby animals and with their mom's. :) I have that famous picture of a mama giraffe "kissing" her baby in my house now.

They all still have special meanings to me, but butterflies are #1.

(sorry for the long reply! LOL)

that's beautiful about your mom, I know you've mentioned this on your journal. Butterflies are such magical creatures, I've also a real appreciation for moths

the LJ is free... you can get the info here (http://community.livejournal.com/scholarslayouts/tag/theme:%20animals). The gal that runs scholarslayouts has some really unique layouts

Okay... I have NO idea how to set this as my journal! LOL Where to begin?? oyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy codes, codes and more codes! ;)

[squid-ink.livejournal.com]

DON'T PANIC :)

here are some great step by step instructions she has set up (http://community.livejournal.com/scholarslayouts/3980.html#cutid1)

just remember.. if you screw something up you can always reset it to the default. You can't 'break' your journal layout

if you have any questions, let me know and I'll try and help you through it

This is so beautiful. This might sound really weird coming from a complete stranger but I had a very vivid dream the other night in which my mother died. I can't get it out of my head but your comment has brought me a lot of comfort. Thank you so much for sharing this.

And your icon is gorgeous!

Awww! Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you got comfort out of my reply! My mom may not be here physically anymore, but she is with me spiritually. She connects with me on many levels which keeps me going! <3
