So some of you may know my about my small obsession with Washi tape. Yesterday when I went to the mailbox where I was happily greeted by a big box of tape!! YAY!!! I ordered a ton from Pretty Tape late last week and was so excited with how quick it got here! I've ordered from there a bunch and it is by far my favorite place to get all my tape love. You can check out this awesome shop here.
Look at all this amazingness!!!
So many fun pages popping into my head right now!
My mom surprised me by sending me this shelf I've been gawking over for the past few months. I first saw it at Janel's when I went and visited in March. I knew I had to find it somewhere.. but no luck :( So I was surprised to have this sitting at my front door. She told me she sent felt and to check to see if it arrived. I'm not sure why I didn't think it was strange that UPS would be delivering felt.....
When I saw it at my front door I was soooooo happy. I did a dance and then planned where I was going to put it! I pulled it out of the box today and hung it up all by myself. 10 extra holes later... it was hung!!! I'm so proud of myself for this small accomplishment, Joseph usually is the officially "hanger" of all things.
I have a plan for the 2 empty rows... Next time I'm at Hobby Lobby I'll pick up some of the stuff I need for it :)
Some of my washi tape
It matches perfectly with all my decor... white and mint.... MMMMM :)
(oh and yes I know my picture is crooked I bumped my head on it when hanging my shelf and forgot to fix it.. oops)
Thank you mom for my awesome shelf.. and for all the awesome Skype journal dates!! I look forward to them every night!
So, I wanna know.... what is your obsession, what material object do you LOVE LOVE right now?
xoxo,
Lindsay
