It’s one of those romantic mysterious movies…
…but not the scary kind. Just the kind that feels magical. The kind a little girl wants to watch over and over again. I was that little girl. And I think I still am. The movie is The Secret Garden. And when I was thinking about how to decorate the inside of my magical box with the secrets of my heart, it was common sense to make it a garden of sorts.
So I cut up a bunch of silk flowers and glued them down on the inside! More little bits of me that i created for Kara’s class will go inside of the box too. The contents are a work in progress, so I’ll share them with you later. :)
omg. that floral paper looks so fantastic.
i love this.
Actually… they’re real flowers! :)
and there are moments in life that i’m quite certain i want to grow up and be Amanda Johnson.
i happen to have these moments and have them a lot.
like… way more than you would imagine.
right now? yeahhhh. majorly.
You are killing me with all this inspo!
