This week's A Snap A Set A Song theme is "Fairytale" and, while I adore many fairytales, I was inspired to make a post about Sleeping Beauty. I love this story, and Disney's Maleficent is such a frightening villain! When she turns into the dragon at the end, my gosh, how scary! I also love the scene in Disney's film when the fairies are fussing over whether Aurora will have a pink or blue dress
- love those little ladies!
My Snap is a montage of the wonderful characters from the Disney film:
My Set was designed to capture the beauty of the princess, the castle setting, and the roses that grew all around over a hundred years.

My Song is the beautiful and sad, A Thousand Years by Christina Perri (just a tad more than Sleeping Beauty's one hundred years, but still fitting.)
When I was creating this post, I couldn't help thinking of my little niece, Willow,
who passed away last year, after ten days of life.
So I dedicate this post to her,
as she is our family's own Sleeping Beauty.
Sweet dreams, little one. We love you.

Oh Wendy! I have a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye. What a beautiful post and dedication to your lovely little Sleeping Beauty, Willow. xx
ReplyDeleteSorry, I didn't intend to make it a sad post, but that song gets me thinking about Willow every time, and then the photos...couldn't help myself, I needed a cry. xx
DeleteNo need to apologize! Like I said, it's beautiful. Emotion is good!!
DeletePS I haven't stopped listening to that song all afternoon! LOVE it. xx
A very beautiful post to a very beautiful Princess...she is that for sure as we both know...Part of that Eternal Plan.
ReplyDeleteYes, a princess in the heavens, a comforting thought. :)
DeleteSad. :-(
ReplyDelete(My wife's favorite characters from Sleeping Beauty are the three good fairies - Flora, Fauna and Merriwether.)
The fairies are so adorable! :)
DeleteAs I read what song you had chosen I immediately thought of my baby girl as I do every time I hear that song, and then to see her photo didn't make me sad but made me smile - she was so lovely in the flesh. 8 months today since we held her close and said our goodbyes for now and miss her more than ever. Love u xx
ReplyDeleteSo need to hug you right now. Glad I could at least make you smile. Such bittersweet memories. xx
