Planting a Moon Garden
 by Maya-Rose Nash
The brilliant summer hours of light begin to fade...as the sun shuts its sleepy eye on the day. A covert magic is about to unfold as night casts its shadow over the land! The sultry air carries the scent of sweet nectar through a garden filled with flowers that appear to glow in the moon light. Shimmering silvery foliage that was hardly noticed in the day light is transformed as if by magic in the shadows of the nightfall.
How sad for those who only plant a day-time garden, for the real joy begins under the veil of darkness. How lucky we are there are plants just right for nocturnal viewing.
These are the plants whose flowers only open at night to offer their magnificent fragrance but they are Mother Nature’s way to attract the night pollinating moths and bats. These flowers are more highly scented at night for...

Dreams Alive Magazine Updates and Opportunities
Updates:
- Articles Are Easier To Find Than Ever!
 We have just concluded the creation of our Article and Author Database. Now, in addition to looking through each issue for articles, you can look at all articles from all issues that are associated with a specific category. You are bound to find many articles of interest that have been here all along...but you just couldn't find them.
Another great feature is sorting the articles by Author. Now you can easily find all the articles ever written by your favorite authors...and for those of you with website content needs, the article reprint rights are clearly specified as to whether you can freely place the articles on your website as well.
Visit our Articles sorted by Category.
Opportunities:
- We would like to encourage artists and photographers to select or create images that would be great for use as our cover and send them to us for review. Each approved and used image would include an acknowledgement and link back to the authors website or e-mail address. Since our magazine is released seasonally, we generally search for indoor, outdoor or creative abstracts of each season. You will be welcome to send as many selections as you desire, providing they follow the guidelines below
- The image must be at least 750 pixels wide and 900 pixels tall, without having been stretched to that size. Clarity is important.
- Since our magazine title and main topics exist on the left side of the cover, it's best if that area is not "busy" to the point where it is difficult to read. If you look at most of our cover images, you will see what we mean.
- For images that are of different dimensions, your images will be cropped, not stretched to fit. Also, for images that are much larger than needed, we will proportionally resize them to the proper size and then crop as necessary.
- Send all submissions in jpg, bmp, psp or tif format. If you do use JPG, do not compress more than 15%.
- Send submissions to: submissions@dreamsalivemagazine.com

The Pink Tool Belt™...for a woman’s body
 Girlgear Industries™ has launched a line of home improvement accessories for the stylish "do-it-herself" woman of today. The Pink Tool Belt™ product line includes leather tool belts and related home & garden accessories designed especially for women. The products offered are heavy-duty industrial grade, yet lightweight and shaped for a woman’s body. And all of the products are only available in the ultra-feminine color pink.
Kellie Reamer, the girl behind the idea, created the Pink Tool Belt™ line after searching for a tool belt to use on her own renovation projects. Kellie wanted a tool belt that was as durable and sturdy as a "man’s tool belt" but fit right around the hips and wasn't heavier than the tools that are carried in it. Her only other requirement was that it be pink to reflect her feminine and edgy style. She discovered that many women like her were seeking a similar solution in a tool belt that would meet all of the same needs.
The original Pink Tool Belt™ was designed and manufactured to meet this demand. It’s a heavy-duty pink suede leather tool belt with 11 pockets, 2 hammer loops and an adjustable soft web belt. It’s made to fit a woman’s hips, from 30" up to 47". The Pink Tool Belt™ is being worn by professional contractors, carpenters, amateur renovators, landscapers and handywomen. It is used by women for home improvement projects, gardening, window cleaning and just about any other task that requires carrying tools or implements. And some women wear it just for fun.
Girlgear Industries™ says that over half of their sales of the Pink Tool Belt™ product line are to men who are buying gifts for their wives, girlfriends, daughters, sisters or mothers. Valentines Day, Mothers Day and Christmas are expected to be the busiest sales periods for Girlgear Industries™ this year. By October 2005, Girlgear Industries™ plans to roll out other products in the Pink Tool Belt™ line including single tool pouch designs and gardeners’ accessories. Of course, all new items will only be available in pink.
