My Artwork

I love art so much! I had a blast creating my favorite celebrities. I love listening to music, when I draw. Of course, when I made my Dino drawings I put on his albums. Dino's voice always puts a smile on my face. I'm no professional, but I enjoy the process of creating art. I found several wallpaper images online for the backgrounds. I'm working on more pieces. Art brings joy to my life.

Dreaming My Dreams

"Dreaming My Dreams"

All the things you said to me today,
Change my perspective in every way.
These things count to mean so much to me,
Into my faith, you and your baby.

It's out there. It's out there.
It's out there. If you want me I'll be here.


I'll be dreaming my dreams with you.
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you.
And there's no other place,
That I'd lay down my face.
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you.

It's out there. It's out there.
It's out there. If you want me I'll be here...


I'll be dreaming my dreams with you.
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you.
And there's no other place,
That I'd lay down my face.
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you.

Dreaming my dreams with you.
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you.
And there's no other place,
That I'd lay down my face.
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you.

Dino's Pizza

I took a road trip to South Carolina yesterday. I payed a visit to my little sister. I randomly came across this pizza place at Myrtle beach. Being a Dean Martin fan, I had to eat some pizza in his honor. Too bad the service was horrible & they had no Dino memorabilia! :-(

You Go To My Head

 I love to daydream...


Lyrics


You go to my head
And you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne

You go to my head
Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two

The thrill of the thought
That you might give a thought
To my plea casts a spell over me
Still I say to myself: get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it can never be

You go to my head
With smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes

Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head

Dino is on my mind

Oh how I adore, Dean Martin!!! I'm in love with his voice! His music makes me want to dance/cuddle with someone special. I know my classy guy is out there somewhere....

What can your coffee filter do for you?

Many people forwarded this to me, and I thought I'd share this with you all.  Here are some helpful tips for coffee filters! Coffee  filters .... Who knew!   And you can buy 1,000 at the 'Dollar Tree' for almost nothing even the large ones!!


1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the  microwave.. Coffee filters make excellent covers. 

 
2. Clean windows, mirrors, and chrome...  Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling.

3.  Protect China by separating your good dishes with a coffee filter between each dish.

4.  Filter broken cork from wine.  If you break the cork when opening a wine  bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter. 
 
5.  Protect a cast-iron skillet.  Place a coffee filter in the  skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust. 

6..  Apply shoe polish.  Ball up a lint-free coffee filter. 

7.  Recycle frying oil.  After frying, strain oil through a sieve  lined with a coffee filter.

8.  Weigh chopped foods.  Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a  kitchen scale.

9.  Hold tacos.  Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.

10.  Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot.  Line a plant  pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through  the drainage holes..

11.  Prevent a Popsicle from dripping.  Poke one or two holes as  needed in a coffee filter...

12.  Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows?  Use  strips of coffee filters..

13.  Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, French fries, chicken  fingers, etc on them.  It soaks out all the grease.  


14.  Keep in the bathroom.  They make great "razor nick  fixers." 

15.   As a sewing backing.  Use a filter as an easy-to-tear backing for embroidering or appliqueing soft fabrics. 

16.  Put baking soda into a coffee filter, tie to make a small bag and insert into shoes or a closet to absorb or prevent odors.


17. Use them to strain soup stock and to tie fresh herbs in to put in soups and stews.   

18. Use a coffee filter to prevent spilling when you add fluids to your car. 


19. Use them as a spoon rest while cooking and clean up small counter spills. 


20. Can use to hold dry ingredients when baking or when cutting a piece of fruit or veggies..  Saves on having extra bowls to wash.. 

21. Use them to wrap Christmas ornaments for storage.


22. Use them to remove fingernail polish when out of cotton balls. 

23. Use them to sprout seeds..  Simply dampen the coffee filter, place seeds inside, fold it and place it into a plastic baggie until they sprout. 
   

24. Use coffee filters as blotting paper for pressed flowers.  Place the flowers between two coffee filters and put the coffee filters in  phone book.. 


25. Use as a disposable "snack bowl" for popcorn, chips, etc.
