| Dreams - almost all of us have them, and those who do not are often traumatized by their lack of ability to dream. |
I dream in color, I hear music, and I remember my dreams. What I don't do is dream of people that I know. It is very rare for me to have a dream that has anyone I know featured in it. I could probably count the number of times on my two hands, it's that rare. So I wonder about other people. I know my DH dreams about people he knows very often. When I don't act the way he thinks I should have in one of his dreams, I hear complaints about it the next day. Such a silly boy! So chime in here and let me know your thoughts. Color? Music? People you know?

| I had my eggs scrambled (Egg Beaters because I'm trying to be good about my cholesterol), but breakfast was quite similar to this. Nom nom. |
Sunday was a nice, lazy day for me which was needed. We went out to breakfast, then a bit later went to the art supply store. I was VERY good and didn't buy anything because I didn't need anything and DH only bought a set of paint brushes for watercolors, so he was pretty good also. We then proceeded to Barnes & Noble and Michael's.

| We ended up with two different Mucha calendars because we both love his artwork. Calendars are inexpensive art and both of us love art. |
At Barnes we looked at many things, but ended up with one magazine and several calendars for next year. I'm bringing my Dragons calendar over to the shop with me this morning. The Dragons by Ciruelo calendar is the official store calendar. That's the one where we keep track of vacation dates and workshop dates. It's also so pretty to look at - LOL.

| A new toy for less than $20 that will solve a major dilemma for this year's Solstice cards. I couldn't be happier. |
At Michael's I wanted some spray adhesive. I had a 50% off coupon and I'm working on my solstice cards. I wasn't happy with some of my experimentation for my cards, so I thought spray adhesive, although a bit messy, might be the answer. While looking at the selection, though, I saw several different Xyron machines. I remembered hearing about how great these were for adhesive application and one of the smaller ones was the perfect width for my project and it was only $25. With my coupon, that would make it less expensive than the spray and far more functional. SCORE! I happily walked out of Michael's a short time later, Xyron in my hand, and I will be working with it later this morning. Just call me HAPPY!

| One of the things I was looking at while at Barnes was several books about Steampunk including this one. I really want to make some Steampunk items. I think it's a novelty that has settled into some excellent work and a good, solid genre. I think it's time to play in this sandbox. I've got plenty of bronze and copper... |
After we returned home I did some work on the laptop to get ready for this year's NaNoWriMo. I want to put all of my writings - years one and two - together into a single unit before I begin year three on "Face in the Window". I'm not 100% sure how best to do that, since year one was written in WriteWay and year two in Scrivener, but I emailed Tech Service at Scrivener for advise. It's not a rush, I still have a bit of time, but I want to make absolutely sure I don't lose the first part of the book into cyberspace. That would totally freak me out.

| DH and I are major "Inspector Lewis" fans and are in seventh heaven with the start of Season 7 here in the US. It's only three episodes, but I'll love each one and buy them on DVD as soon as I can to add to our collection. |
So today the Bead Stops Hop continues, I'm putting adhesive onto components for my Solstice cards, I'm listening to great Rock music, and I'm ready to fact the week head-on. The Broncos won their game on Sunday, "Inspector Lewis" season 7 started last night, and all is well with the world - LOL. Here's hoping you have a wonderful Monday.
