Once Upon a Time....
In a Land Far Far Away
I'm sure at one point in time when we were all younger we heard the beginning of a story start out with "Once upon a time"......am I right?... So this photo is for all those old memories of hearing those words that began a fairytale story.
!!! I'm so excited about this photo, has to be one of my favs that I have done, but it took me forever b/c I am still trying to figure out PS...I'm getting there.
The dress is a wedding dress that I wore to the Marine Corps Birthday
Ball( NOT to my wedding), and Its a bugger to get into!!!...plus its
too small for me, I didn't know wedding dresses ran 2 sizes
small!....and since I don't have a crinoline, I put pillows underneath
it to make it look poofy.

Sorry for the big nasty watermark, that really ruins the image, but I
have had NUMEROUS notifications from people that my image is being
used WITHOUT my permission...So there goes the big bold watermark.
