ok... so hubby wanted to play with the settings on the camera one day and got this shot of gage. but the original is almost totally white, but i LOVED the contents of the shot... so, i've spent the past 2 months playing with the settings and contrast and levels... blah, blah, blah. finally, just blended it with a couple of my favorite papers, then embraced the harshness of it just because... well... because i can. hehehe. anyway... the excerpt from this Amos Lee song always makes me think of poor gage. i know he has to feel so pushed to side sometimes. he's such a good sport. sigh. --- the photo stacking totally inspired by Shauilee (LOVED it on her Holding Hands lo!!) and *samsmom* & nicolem got me all pheenin' for a white background... haven't done many of these lately. thanks for the inspiration girls!!!!

JOURNALING: my soul is as open as the sky... and often times just as blue... people tell me to keep on dreamin'... that's just what i'm gonna do. now everybody wants to treat me like a housefly... turn me around and tell me to shoo... people tell me to keep on dreamin'... that's just what i'm gonna do.
