Wow! That bag of pencil shavings is so creative. I've never seen anything like that! And I love the book tape. I wonder how they make that stuff...
ReplyDeleteThat is all really neat things.Thanks for sharing. I've been looking on Ety recently for washi tape and have found some really pretty ones. I hope to be able to buy a few soon. :) I only have 3 rolls of washi tape. But I'm very thankful for them. :) A few days ago I tried out making envelopes and am really happy how they turned out. I'll have to use one for your next letter. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great day and your job is off to a good start.
