{Project 26 – ‘Once Upon A Time’}

Friday, February 17, 2012

I love this week’s theme! The possibilities are endless, but I had to stick to only one…that was hard. In my closet I’ve been storing my old ballerina dress that I wore when I was little. My mother made it so it has even more meaning. I didn’t think it would fit Brielle yet, but with a little pinning it was perfect! It was surreal seeing my baby girl in MY ballerina dress. I never imagined having a little girl that might someday wear it. It easily became the inspiration for this project. Once upon a time….

Thanks for reading to my silly little fairy taleWe could’ve done a cinemagraph like last week again but I opted to just focus on the theme so you may see a few more cinemagraphs in the circle.

I’ve never seen anything like it. You know people are going to want to copy your idea but hopefully they won’t, I don’t think anyone could do a re-creation justice.
