Tap Into Your Creativity

Recently when reading a home decorating magazine, I saw a design idea involving washi tape.  Having no idea what that was I turned to the internet and soon was watching multiple YouTube videos on all the ways it can be used to decorate pens, vases, cups, electronics, etc. 


Washi tape comes in endless colors and patterns and peels off as easily as it goes on so it does not damage anything it is attached to.  I have put it on pens, iPhone chargers, etc. and find those things so much more appealing with their fun new looks.  It has also helped me not overlook my chargers when packing up and leaving hotel rooms because they stand out. 

I have several rolls to leave for finders and hope they find creative ways to decorate their own possessions.

Dear.....

I have been traveling ALOT lately.  We have just passed the halfway mark of the year, and I have spent 9 weeks on the road thus far. 

When away I am always making notes of expenses or the things I need to do when returning home.  Occasionally I even send a postcard or note to someone.  This is a time of year when many people are out of their routine or going away to one summer camp or another.  Figured some others could use a fun new pen for their journals or summer correspondence.

Oh Those Sweet Summer Nights

Summer weekends are the best!  Friends, swimming, fireworks, outdoor adventures, water skiing, mini golf, outdoor grilling, zip-lining, etc. are just some of the things that make summer so wonderful.   

Lately I have also been playing many games of my youth....Sorry, Clue, and the many games you can play using a simple deck of playing cards.  When a lazy summer day turns into a fun evening of playing, it reminds me that these simple pleasures create memories and happiness.  It is important to forget the stresses of everyday life now and then.   

 
Since I thought some others might enjoy a fresh new set of cards for themselves or to introduce their children to a new game I have a few decks for giving away.
