T Stands for My Precious

I was picking up some office supplies. Glue sticks, double stick tape. And then, what the heck, a little retail therapy never hurt. Washi tape, functional pretty, and then I saw it


One tape to rule them all,
And to the paper bind them!


A black, Maneki-neko in a tea cup! Ink! My Precious!

Do you use washi tape or do you just look at it and pet it?

Drop by hosts, Bleubeard and Elizabeth’s blog to find out what the rest of the T gang is up to. If you want to play, include a beverage or beverage container in your post. Don’t forget to link your blog from Bleubeard and Elizabeth’s page.

  5. Retail therapy can be a very good thing. That is adorable tape. I stopped at Staples yesterday to get envelopes because the box I ordered from Amazon has been stuck in Windsor, CT since early last week. Anyhow, I browsed and looked at the tape too, but nothing as cute as the neko tape you found. Have a great T day. Hope you have more sun today than yesterday. Hugs-Erika

    1. Maybe if the rolls were 10 times bigger it wouldn't hurt to part with a little strip. 😺

  7. You are right, retail therapy is the best. I so miss going into a store to actually feel the fabric on something I want to buy. The tape is awesome and perfect for T day.

    1. I really don't mind point and click retail therapy. Then there's the excitement of waiting for UPS, Amazon, or USPS to arrive.

    1. It's the crafting version of Duct tape though not as strong, waterproof, but a lot prettier 😺

  11. Oh what fun washi tapes- and that special kitty in a cup one- perfect find for you! I actually was out also to get more glue, envelopes and card stock- and yes picked up a pack of Valentine washi tapes-on sale for 30% off so I only paid a few dollars. And I WILL use them:):) Happy T day!

  15. Your washi tape is purr-fect ...ha, ha 😀. Loving the little kitty cat! I have washi tape for crafting but I find myself looking at it more that using it as sometimes I just can't seem to figure out how to include it on my pages ...lol 😉. Happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x

  16. I was by earlier, then got called away before I could leave a comment. I also had a ton of paperwork I was trying to get out today, which sucked up my time. I'm sorry I'm late visiting.

    I LOVE your neko washi tape, CJ. It has YOU written all over it. I have some washi tape, but I forget to use it. It's not handy, so I need to make it more handy. I'm sure yours will go to good use. This "cat in a cup" is perfect for T this Tuesday, dear.

    Oh. you are right, I have some, too. So far I only used it for my ugly PC-table to cover some scratches...

  18. I Love that kitty (although I didn't know it had a name.)
    Yes, I have lots of washi tape. I use it to seal envelopes or decorate postcards I send. I also use them in scrapbooking, although I haven't done much scrapbooking in 2020.
    Happy T-Day,
    Lisca

  20. Since I started junk journaling, I have been using it. But it is just like my printed papers, I collect, I am afraid.
    LOL Happy T Day.
