    You're right about the pink and purple dream catcher, may not be authentic but purple is my favorite color, so it's my favorite. :)

    I have one tiny dreamcatcher, but I was just looking at it the other day and wondering if I could make a larger one myself. I think I'm going to try, I really love them.

    have a dream catcher over my bed -- to chase away bad dreams and keep the good ones! Mine was made by an American Indian friend of my brother-in-law and after he died, when the family asked if there was something we wanted, we chose the 'dreamcatcher'. It's always been special to us.

    Blessing this lens on the school bus trip! I love dream catchers. I made one once.

    Thought I would tip toe in and take a look at these wonderfully unique dream catchers. They really look to be one of a kind, much like this page :)
  • LisaAuch Aug 14, 2011 @ 1:54 pm | delete
    What a beautiful page, and so inspiring too. I really do know some children who would love these.

    Our dear mouse always knows the perfect thing to say. We do all need a dream catcher of some kind to stop the bad dreams, whether we are children or grown ups. And even in dark days or nights that seem without ending, there are always good dreams to help us through to the brighter times ahead.
  • Sylvestermouse Aug 13, 2011 @ 4:24 pm | delete
    This lens is certainly a feast for the eyes, a whisper to the heart and is filled with more love than is immediately obvious. I love dream catchers! We should all have something that catches the evil for us and keeps it from our dreams, better yet, from our reality.
