Now, The Moment You've All Been Waiting For... The Kiss You Video
The Best Song, Isn't It? Today I Was Making An Icon For A Friend Of Mine On A Social Networking Site (I'm Not Saying What Site, I Don't Wanna Get Spammed With 1D), And I Would Like To Share It With You.
This Took Me A LONG Time, And It Was So Hard Trying To Find The Right Pictures, Especially In The Kiss You Column, As I Wanted Each Picture To Be In A Different Scene. You Can Use This, I Don't Mind. But If You Could, Give Me Credit. As I Said, It Took Me A LONG Time, And I'd At Least Like A Pageview Or Two
