I only watch the Super Bowl for the commercials, there I admitted it. :0

Cracking Pistachios gangnam style is my favorite, but here is a link to all the commercials in case you missed them, or like me, just can't get enough of them :)

Well, all my Cupid Gone Bad cards have already sold out at the Art MoB, so I brought her out again to create another 50 Shades of Romance card...;)

 

And...I have discovered that Cricut has a hand cuff cut...oh my...oh my....I am in 50 shades of heaven. It's not as detailed as the metal handcuff charms I was using but hopeful it will pass muster.

I got the words from Pinterest and unfortunately didn't google the author until after I had already finished my piece. I say unfortunately because there was so much more to this and I wish I had read the whole poem before I began.

 I wanted to share it all with you. This poem was written some time ago. The simple statements contained in the poem can be applied to everyday life. It really applies to everyone in all walks of life. We can learn a lot from trees if we just take the time to look and listen.

 Advice from a Tree

 

by  Ilan Shamir

 

Sink your roots deeply into the Earth 

Think long term 

Go out on a limb 

Remember your place among all living beings 

Embrace with joy the changing seasons

For each yields its own abundance 

The Energy and Birth of Spring 

The Growth and Contentment of Summer 

The Wisdom to let go of leaves in the Fall

The Rest and Quiet Renewal of Winter

Feel the wind and the sun

And delight in their presence 

Look up at the moon that shines down upon you

And the mystery of the stars at night. 

Seek nourishment from the good things in life 

Simple pleasures Earth, fresh air, light

Be content with your natural beauty

Drink plenty of water 

Let your limbs sway and dance in the breezes 

Be flexible Remember your roots

Enjoy the view!
