Sticky Fingers

I have to admit, I am a sucker for trying to do new things.  I'm always trying to figure out how to do something or how something works.  Yesterday I stumbled upon a rose.  But not just any rose!  No... this is a rose that was handcrafted; made with duct tape.  Yes, that's right, another item that duct tape can fix, mend, repair or be created with!  A duct tape rose...What, you may ask, would one do with a duct tape rose?  Well, here is a short list (just in case you get one from me)

1. Laugh out Loud and appreciate the thought that someone not only made something for you, but thought enough of you in the first place!
2. Smell it!  Hopefully the giver of the rose sprayed it with a nice smelling scent or their cologne or perfume.  If they did, then it's another way to think of them during your day!
3. Ask for at least 11 more!  You will then always have a dozen roses!
4. Show it to your friends and give them a good laugh and remind them that you are not the most redneck person they know because someone else gave you the rose!
5. Appreciate it.  No matter what, a rose is a rose and perhaps you have been a little too busy to stop and smell the roses.  Now you have one that will last forever!

I have to admit, my first attempts have not been too great, they barely look like flowers let alone roses.  However, as has been said many times, practice makes perfect and perseverance wins the race.
My fingers are a bit sticky and I am wondering how much of my skin has been pulled off of my finger tips, but this is at least fun and a bit mindless, which allows me to relax and enjoy the process.

So, be aware!  You may find yourself the recipient of one of my special roses!
