Oh, my ghoul all those monsters have flown out the door. I'm meeting Arthur, my new puppy, on Thursday, but I want to register his AKC and get him a harness. Plus, I want to take my grade school girlfriend away for the night at the 1777 Americana Inn in Ephrata. She needs a break. We'll have such fun. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is looking forward to meeting his new brother, Sir Frankie Crisp, according to his breeder, David King. TTYL...

Mod Black Girls (Dana's Dreams Two Cover Art) Original for Sale + Beetlejuice...

   Get the Original on Ebay

  I found these when I went to my watercolor pad for my portrait of Doc Holliday for DOC which I have officially began, although I'm only up to chapter twenty-nine in my notes: Doc working for the Santa Fe Railroad. They are the cover art for Dana's Dreams Two. They came to me in a dream. Dana's Dreams Three Revenge of the Dream Hog is in the works. Think I've made it to page sixty-five, although I've not been dreaming so much the past month. It might be due to my many projects or the fact that I've replaced wine with coffee. 

  I got my Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice Monster Highs today. We'll see if Amazon accepts my review. They threaten me keeping it real. I have so many fond memories of the first eighties film. I saw it twice in the theater, once with my boyfriend and again with my three girlfriends. I loved the second film even if I watched it alone on Netflix. I'll watch it again. I love the dolls. I prefer Lydia's short skirt, so cute. Wish Beetlejuice was more masculine. He looks like Honey Swamp to me who I love, but she's no Beetlejuice. Anyway, what I could not say in my Amazon review without getting booted was that I hope that the toy hacks that are ruining Mattel and Monster High are livid and get stuck with the tons of dolls they've gobbled up to try to rip us all off. Planet Scam! I thanked Amazon in my review asking them please to have more exclusive Skullector Monster Highs. I got the Grady Twins there for ninety dollars. I was stuck at the Mattel site for hours waiting for Elvira to be told they sold out in minutes. Ron did backflips to get her for me for Valentine's Day. I told Amazon we want Jack and Sally, Morticia, and the Hocus Pocus witches. 

  Down with the toy hacks! ☠

Lots to Talk About: Dana's Dreams, Books, & More...

   First, I finished the cover of Dana's Dreams Two which came to me directly from a dream a couple of months ago. They were painted on the ceiling of a dressing room where I was changing my clothes. I have put them on loads of things on ZAZZLE: 

Wallpaper

Acrylic Prints

Ladies' Denim Jackets

Planners

Pillows

  Next, and sticking to the subject, I was telling my aunt how she might remember her dreams when The GOOGLE Monster gobbled everything that I had written up like a bag of cookies. A lot of folks might be interested, so here it goes. Take a glass of water to bed with you. Take a sip and say aloud, "I will remember my dreams". Set the glass on your nightstand. When you wake take a sip. Keep a dream notebook close to your bed. When you first wake, do not stir. Lie there and unravel your dream. Write down keywords in your notebook, so that you might remember upon waking. Share your dreams, talk about them. You must get to them first thing, otherwise you will forget. Pickles and pepperoni are dream foods, pickles being #1. The dream symbolism that you find online goes back to the ancient Egyptian priests. Finally, I had shared tonight's dreams with her: 

  2/21

  First I woke up as I heard Ron yelling, “Dana!”, in my head. This is the third time this has happened lately. It was just a dream, though very real. 

  The next dream was just a snippet: turquoise ladies panties embroidered with an Aztec bird were dancing in my head. 

  The third dream was Aunt Nancy’s summer wedding. Aunt Janet was there. They wore long matching sun dresses with blue and white printed roses on a red background. We were late getting to the church and missed the ceremony. We were waiting at my grandmother’s house. There was a dark haired young man working along the side of the house who I got snippy with. He had two of Mummy’s long stemmed fake flowers that Aunt Nancy was asking about. One was just a green bud, but the other might’ve been one of those dancing daisies. My little cousin had a big naked Jane doll still in the box. I was looking out the window at Aunt Nancy and her groom lying on a patio, snuggling. I told my cousin that Aunt Nancy and I both had Jane dolls too. 

Dana's Dreams

Now, on with my readings. Tonight's quotes are taken from BATTLEFIELD and Eisenhower:

"It dawned on me that I was up against more than an inflexible rule; I was challenging a tenet of economic survival. A utility company was loath to relinquish even one customer whose lifetime of rate-paying would add tens of thousands of dollars to its coffers." Svenson

This book, that Ron got for me at The Farnsworth House for Easter, is brilliantly written by an artist no less. In Farming a Civil War Battleground Peter Svenson gets down to the bones about building his third house.

"MacArthur, the most political of generals, never succeeded in politics, while three of the most apolitical generals in American history, Washington, Grant, and Eisenhower, did. They were true American Caesars, only American soldiers to hold both supreme military and political power." Ambrose

Pippa & Marie Doll Case

 I want one. I keep my Pips in a Dark Crystal lunch box. I put them in sandwich bags or wrap them in tissue paper. Donatella has Paisley Pajamas in mind, but I'm finishing sculpting a Peggy Shippen doll just now. Stay tuned.

Dreams 2/25

Had a wild, mad sort of an epic sixties style dream that I've forgotten. All I remember is the lady with the platinum curls, the crazy psychedelics, and the constant intense action. I know there was a man, but I cannot recall any details besides maybe a dining room and a dance. I suppose this is how people remember the sixties, huh?
