| the quote that is framed and now sits next to her bed ... |
the quote is:
And above all watch with glittering
eyes the whole world around you because
the greatest secrets are always
hidden in the most unlikely places.
Those who don’t believe in magic
will never find it.
Roald Dahl
my daughter is as passionate about fairies as ben is about books. for pollyanna the world is perfect, there are fairies and rainbows, sugared candy and ribbons, there are princes and princesses, and most definitely happily ever afters. she sees the cup as always full, even when its full of air, and the world is most definitely full of fairies and elves doing wonderful things. it could be her age, it could be her beliefs, it could be she sees things i don't see, but whatever it is i hope she never loses it. so i have chosen to put this in her room to remind us all life doesn't have to be without magic, you just have to make the choice to believe in it and find it :)
i typeset the quote in powerpoint and printed it at home on photo paper ... i like the glossy look for something like this! i then framed it and put it next to her bed.

| i hope i spend more time with glittering eyes watching the world's magic now ;) |
outcome: my little girl peep has always inspired me to see things with open eyes and while this is in her bedroom i think it will do more for me seeing it each night when i tuck her in and kiss her goodnight than it will for her. but if she ever needs reminding it will be there for her too :)

The BFG was my favourite Roald Dahl book. :) Pollyanna sounds like such a sweetheart! I hope that sweet happiness stays with her forever. :)
Such a sweet idea, I love it!
