| Mod: Theme for 6/03 - 6/10... Image Contest |
[03 Jun 2005|11:48am] |
We want our members to create some new images for this community. At the end of the week, we'll put all the entries to a vote and see which entries win. We're going to break this up into three categories. You may enter as many as you like for however many catagories you like.
Best Icon: Winner becomes the new default icon for our community.
Best Promo Banner: Winner gets their banner put on the user info page, not only of this community, but on the Promotional Communities that I run.
Best Wallpaper/Layout: Winner gets their entry used for the community's layout, and believe me, we need it.
Please put your entries in a new post to the community and make sure you have stamped//theme//(and then what your entry is) as the subject.
^_^ Have fun, be creative.

What is there is there to say about a man who taught me 90% of my life lessons? It has been six years since we lost him and every day feels fresh. He was my granfather, friend, teacher and mentor. Without him, I wouldn't know anything about my hertiage, family or myself.
There are just three grandchildren in my family, but it was common knowledge that I was his favorite. Our personalities mirrored each other and as I get older, I'm told how similar we were. Poppo, as we called him, gave me the gift of confidence. He taught me through love that it didn't matter how I looked. He looked pass all of that and saw the person inside of me.
Little things still remind me of him. Smear is a card game my family loves and when I taught it to my husband, I felt my Poppo laughing in the distance. Whenever I have a glass of apple juice, I think of my Poppo and a funny cup he had at his house. Feeding ducks, Barbie & the Rockers, costume jewelery and auctions all give me a slight pull at my mending heart. Nothing will ever ease the pain of losing him, but those small things at least bring a smile to my face.
This April was the hardest time for me since his death. I was married and my Poppo wasn't there to see it. Moments before the ceremony I was crying and wishing he was there. I know he was "looking down on me" through it all, but that didn't help when all I wanted was for him to call me his Lil' Swede.
Poppo remains one of the most important people in my life. His dedication to his family after he realized the mistakes he was making in life is inspriation to me. And his absolute love of me reminds me what unconditional love is suppose to be like. I'll never have a person in my life quite like my Poppo, but I take him with me everyday.

My grandmother passed on on November 10th, three months after a freak car accident and 21 years to the day of my grandfather's death.
She was a poet, an antique collector, a passionate feminist, a stock trader, and most of all, the only one of my relatives that really loved me for who I am.
When we were dirt poor, she bought me clothes. When she used to baby sit me, she bought me toys to play with.
She valued education. She gave me a pendant she got as valedictorian of the eigth grade, the last schooling she completed during the great depression. She loved good books and treated me like an adult. She wold read with me when I was little, and later let me read books that were far above what my parents would, like when she gave me her copy of the Joy Luck Club in the 1st grade,
( I don't know what else I can say, but here's a poem )

Hey you photoshoppers (and Mods too because I'd like your approval for this idea)-- I was thinking that it'd be fun if we had our own little contest of an "innerbeatuyx" icon or wallpaper/theme! :D
Just wondering if anyone think its a good idea and if anyone is willing to participate.

I had to post on here because I found a grammar error on my Labyrinth poster and it's driving me crazy. Sometimes movie slogans have some type of error on purpose, but if you look at the movie case it doesn't have the mistake.

Write a small memorial for someone you've loved and lost.
In case no one is interested.... ( It's under the cut )
Wow, that was emotional.
