- What is a dream? should it be played out are kept hidden to oneself. I have been living in fear for years caring what others thought of me and my ideas put to the test. I write songs and love to sing but never finding the right people to work with to produce a cd i wasworking with a guy in our neighborhood but he wasn't really mature enough to get things done for the cd if you have a gift and it had been giving what would you do with it throw it away because things have not worked out are try to keep doing things to make dreams come true.

Trying to write some songs
When the times comes it will be right, no longer seeing what others see.Tonight I take my hands and embrace the moonlight. I lift my spirit up to take flight by day and by night. There are many things the spirit knows before your great dance he can only view from a corner getting to close could make you faint. Knowing your spirit is not of this world makes you feel at home outside knowing the spaces down to a tee. Spirit is in everyone of us who want to listen for the call.
Circles and lights we are all with tribes We stand here in stone henge and we are all one. Working for the maker dancing in the sun.

FOUR PAW FRIENDS POEM
Childhood memories on the Farm come calling me back home so simple then and so true to my heart laughning and grinning with my four paw friends never will be the same again caught in time by the heart. We all were eating speghetti and spinning off in the chevey we visit the banks and the creeks for a swim when it was so hot it was hard to breath in a southern chattahochee dream.
Ive got four paw friends are friendship never ends day by day night by night four paw friends sticking beside them thick and thin. whatever may come my way four paw friends with me till the end.
Ten years has passed all my four paw friends are at home with the maker at last. If i could go back to that time when we were having the time of our lives it would be a great day.
We'd be running under the pines and the wide oaks looking for the magical waterfalls
My four paw friends happy chasing tennis balls under the moonlight. If i could put them in a jar and take them out again id do it everyday till the sun shine begin.

Staining wood for decoupage
Hello there
Choose a stain that works well with the other wood furniture in the room.
A light to medium tone tends to be less formal than a darker one. Cut the motifs out compare them against swatches of differing tones. The first coat should be lightly applied. If you want the shade darker or richer shade, simply apply another coat to darken it. Lightening a stained piece is much more difficult, as the color must be sanded off, wiped clean, and the stain reapplied. As with all pieces should be protected with a clear finish when completed. A water-based polyurethane looks professional and is easy to apply. While it dries quickly, it is best to let each coat dry overnight before applying the next.
1 Sand wood surfaces smooth with fine sandpaper. Wipe with tack cloth to remove excess dust. Be sure wood is dry and free of all dust before applying stain.
2 Use commercial mixture or add enough stain to polyurethane to get desired tint.
Apply color with bristle brush to bottom surfaces of objects like a foot stool, brushing in the direction of the wood grain. repeat on top. let dry completely.
3 Carefully cut out motifs using form brush, apply thin coat of medium to back of motif. Position motif; smooth with fingertips. Let dry. Apply thin coat of medium over entire top of stool are object. Let dry completely.
*** If using a stain finish with decoupage, select a water based finished so the decoupage medium will not bend up and remain sticky. For furniture pieces that will be getting a lot of use, like the footstool apply three to four coats with heavy activity on the and around the object.
Good Luck
