One of my favorite parts of the movie was when a young Sally stirs up a spell to attract a man that could never exist (at least she thought so). Years later, he walks into her life and delivers the line "I wished for you too".
It made me think about when I was young and dreamy, wishing for my Prince Charming.
Well, I met said Prince when I was 16, only didn't realize he was The One until I was 18. Married him at 20 and have been by his side for 33 years.
So this is my magic I have conjured up to celebrate the love of my life, the answer to my wishes.
I beaded this frame to hold of picture of Sweety when I first met him - back in our hippy days.
The sun and the moon represent the fact that we are basically opposites. He's a big city boy, I'm a country girl, he likes action movies, I'm into Jane Austen, he's very focused and driven, and I'm creative and spacey.
The Labyrinth represents the path that we have walked together. Lots of twists and turns, but no dead ends.
And the Key shows that he was able to unlock my heart and that it belongs only to him.
I never had to resort to a spell to bring me my Sweety. We found each other on our own, but there is definitely some kind of magic out there that is responsible for taking 2 people who are so different and making them love each other so much.
