Let's put this nice tulip photo onto a wax board! Are you ready!?
Oh, and the print should be a laser printout, not an inkjet. It's very important that it's toner-based.

I dip the brush in the tub of melted wax and brush it onto the board. This is what it looks like. I shoulda gotten some pics of me brushing on wax, but i'm so fast with the wax, the camera wouldn't be able to see it. It's like a lightning bolt. ZAP!

Normally you think you'd place the photo on top of the board. But I like to put the board on top of the photo. Yeah, that's right. I flip it around. It's nice to have the photo a little bigger than the board. When printing the photos, I messed up a little and didn't make the photo big enough. It's easier to line up the board onto the photo this way. Trust me.

Will you be there for me when the storm comes raging through in my life or only be there when the sun is shining and the flowers are blooming. What about when I am sad? Laughter surrounds me and brings me joy but sadness comes and goes and seems to hang around a lil longer this time of year. Thinking often of losses - those that have gone on to paradise. Today wasn't a good day but I know that tomorrow is another opportunity for me to have a better day than today. {Random Thought 11.30.14}

Reflections of the way life use to be, a year ago, a week ago, a day ago, a moment ago. So much has changed and so much has stayed the same. I can feel a change coming over me. It seems like it is a positive change, so i am going to continue to roll with it. I am looking forward to the blessing I am going to receive in 2011, I've already claimed it. {Random Thoughts 10.20.10}

It fascinates me how what you don't see is somehow able to be projected elsewhere. Sometimes the projection is beautiful and sometimes it is an ugly monster. That goes for people, places and things. I like to keep it real, I don't do well with monsters. It brings out a monster in me and that is not pretty at all. I think most people can accept imperfections when the person keep it real. Treat me nice,not only will I act nice, but I will treat you nice. {Random Thoughts 9.18.10}

Love without expectation. When you don't receive what you believe you are putting out, perhaps your output isn't as great as you think it is Check yourself before you accuse the other person of not doing. #RandomThought 9.27.15
“When all is said and done, you are part of me. That's the way it was meant to be. People are brought together for a reason, everything happens for a reason. I believe the reason that you came into our lives was to teach us how to truly love unconditionally. Each day with you in our lives was filled with love and life experiences that will forever be a part of us. Gone but not forgotten. You are teaching us how to love one another in spite of flaws. Always loved. Always remembered, never to be forgotten. {RandomThought}
