This song tells the story of a night when I scared the mess out of a young couple who were alone together playing worship music at the church. I shook the door and moaned like a zombie, and when I opened the door, you’ll never guess who was waiting for me.
A silly song written to a duplicate of my son that I met in a dream. Hope you enjoy it.
The other day I found a strange little square shaped easter basket for a dollar at Target. I immediately saw the potential to turn it into a Buzz Lightyear Easter basket.
Even this Buzz is just a bit of the hand and forearm, I’m still counting it. My daughter broke her arm a month ago and got her short-cast today. She let me draw on it. Then she let me paint on it!

One of our neighbors walked up the steps while we were out there. I can’t imagine what he must have thought.

Second, to go to the local children’s hospital and offer my services for free in special cases as deemed by the hospital. We’ll see if I actually follow through with this idea. Doubtful, but fun to think about.
Next time she breaks her arm I’m going to make her get a white cast.
I’ve been wanting to make a Buzz Lightyear clock for years. I bought the wood and clock movement 3+ years ago and just never got to it.

I was in Hobby Lobby, a local craft store, and saw some wooden Nutcracker blanks and thought, I wonder if I can paint that to look like a Buzz Lightyear? I took some pictures and decided to figure that out when I got home. Continue reading
