Happy Friday!
Insta-Update May 2014
It's pretty much always tape-tastic around here, but the last few weeks have felt especially tape-filled. Here's a look at what's going on around here - well, at least according to Instagram! Lots of tape projects happening - but that's not really new!
I spent a bit of time sorting through all the loose rolls currently on-the-go and getting them organized into boxes so that I could see them all.
Bad news is they're already back in a jumble.
Good news is I found a big pile of unused photo samples and other random rolls - new washi tape grab bags will be coming soon!
It's also been a busy few weeks tape-order-wise. Our washi tape cuties will be restocked soon. New and restock MT tapes are on order. Plus a brand new line of tape that I'm really excited about. Like really really haven't been this excited about tape in a long time excited. They're so good - I hope you love them too!
Loved reading all the responses to our latest giveaway over on Facebook and Instagram - it's always wonderful to receive feedback about what you'd like to see in this space and in the shop. More DIY's, more tape, more rubber stamps, more stationery and great pens seem to be the running theme. Plus some other great suggestions that we're already starting to look into!
How about you? Do you have any suggestions for things you'd like to see here on the blog or products you'd like to see in the shop? We'd love your input!
Happy Friday!
What Christmas Looked Like - 2013

What Valentine's Day Looked Like
Pretty flowers, sparkly hearts, sweet treats & handmade cards. A peek at our Valentine's Day. Pretty sweet indeed!
To be honest, we're not huge lovers of Valentine's Day - we met in Japan, where Valentine's Day is a bit confusing as women give gifts to men on February 14th and then men return the favour a month later on White Day. Women tend to give gifts to ALL the men in their lives and the men often dread it. I used to have male students who would do their best to avoid being in the office / at their desk on Valentine's Day so that they wouldn't have to buy gifts for ALL the ladies in the office on March 14th. Oh the romance!
And then, you see, the Brazilian version of Valentine's Day doesn't happen until June (or is July? I can never remember).
So, we get all confused and turned around and not quite sure what to do when this holiday rolls around. But, we actually met on February 14th, so we celebrate this day for that reason. And, really, any excuse for an overload of pink & red & hearts & chocolate & borderline tackiness is alright by me!
Our celebration involved a quiet meal, good conversation and decadent dessert - Brazilian Pao de Mel - mini honey cakes filled with doce de leite (dulce de leche / milk caramel) and dipped in chocolate.
Oh, and those sparkly hearts? A super simple 5 minute DIY - just cut hearts (or any shape) out of glitter tape and stick to a toothpick. Voila - instant fanciness!
How did you celebrate? Or are you just delighted that we can move on from all the love-themed stuff?
