advice from a tree

Sweet friends,
I came across this beautiful poem, 'Advice From A Tree' by Ilan Shamir on Pinterest. You could read about how the poem came to Ilan here. I missed my nature walks. I wish for sunny afternoons very soon.

Here's a page I made to remind me of this gem;


I used up paper scraps and foam stickers in this spread. Masking tapes for background, smudged with green water-soluble crayon. I sketched the tree with a brown sharpie and then stamped on the foreground.


I feel like making a few of this poem in different mediums. We'll  see. Have a good one!. Hugs.

  5. Hello again, guess what you inspired me to make a page today!! Yippeee!! This tree just stayed in my head all day so I finally sat down and made one and started a second one. The link you shared was so wonderful, I love reading stories about trees, LOVE LOVE TREES!! My trees have a little twist on them though, can't wait to share with you. If I can get it done tonight, might just post sometime tomorrow.
    I forgot to wish you sunny days ahead, too much rain and gray sky's makes me moody and lazy. So sunshine wishes coming your way.
    Thanks so much for your comment today, will be sure to take lots of photos of the yummy food. My hubby and I share the cooking, he does the turkey though.
    I'm sending you an email, let me know if you get it please. It's a question I have for you about Christmas!!
