Last week I learned that having a washi obsession isn’t exactly front page news…and that it might be fun to share our collections. Ok Eileen…you ready to share too?! 
Mini-me organized the tapes for me. I love how they look but have no patience to make it happen. Lucky for me she loves to both craft and organize. My paint drawer often gets a makeover as well. :)
This set of blue tapes I love!! A couple of them look like sun prints and one like shibori.
My black tapes get used a lot. They give that pop on a page or card that just helps me say “DONE”.
I love this bin as well. Bright yellows, orange. pink and red.
The polka dots in this bin have gotten a lot of use. I love polka dots! Did you notice the tape with the coffee cup and beans? I’m sure you’ll see that one again in a salute to T stands for Tuesday.
This last bin is random. Ones that didn’t physically fit or were just too colorful to categorize.
I guess it wasn’t quite as shameful as I thought. Mini-me likes to use washi in her smash book and also in her notes for school. I use it pretty much anywhere. If fact I’m putting together a new journal. More of a junk journal/smash book type idea. I plan to do more writing on a personal level. I’m not sure how much of it I will share here after I start using it to journal. 
I’m using random papers from my stash but keeping them in a Fall color scheme. I’m all about Fall right now. It is my favorite season.
I survived my first week of school. I had very tired feet a couple of days but have since toughened up. As expected I was able to accomplish way more while working than I ever thought I could. Like starting the above journal. Learning at least 60 kids names and faces in 4 days. Paint and reupholster a vanity bench for Mini-me. Paint 2 shelves and candelabra….also Mini-me(I’ll have to share those projects later). Work 2.5 hours of concessions at a volleyball game after working all day.
Oh yeah and pull up my gardens.
after collecting my last harvest of the season.
Welp…now I’m tired…after recalling all those things.
What are you doing today?
You have some pretty washi tape rolls. I love seeing yours and Eileen’s little hoard. And wow, you were busy for the first week of school. My tired feet would never let me have done all of that work after week one. :) Good for you. Hope you have a super T day. Hugs-Erika
Wow both of you have an awesome stash of tape. I never knew what to do with it-but I need to look into it-comes in so many pretty patterns and colors.
glad your school week went well
Happy T
Love the look of those fresh veggies, I can almost imagine them in my next stir fry! You have a great collection of washi tapes! Hugs, Valerie
My sincere apologies. I am having a terrible time keeping my internet going. I spent nearly an hour on the phone with AT&T, my internet provider. They can’t seem to fix the problem on their end, so want to send someone out today (Tuesday) to fix the problem. If it’s MY problem, I will need to pay for the call, but they are telling me they believe it’s at their pole.
Regardless, while I was on hold and could NOT get on the internet, I decided to write this apology to each of you. Many of you know I read every word you write and I try to include a brief comment that shows I have been to visit and have seen your drink. However, I am being told I should shut the computer down every time it locks up, then reboot. I was able to leave comments to two people, but each time I did, the internet went down on me again.
Since I need to be up early to let the phone guy in (NOT my favorite time of the day), I will leave you with this generic and most grateful T day gratitude. I hope you understand this is totally out of my control and I am grateful you stopped by for T this Tuesday.
my washis are not organized that pretty, but i have quite some;) i take the challenge next week (if i don´t forget)… and i find it always hard to sort papers – according to colors? to style? to seasons? well, so solution in sight;) happy t-day!!
Wow another great collection of washi tapes, such a variety of designs and colours, awesome.
You sound as if you need more hours in your day after your busy week. The last harvest vegetables look like they will taste delicious.
Happy T day wishes.

Fab washi tape collection-and only a few are familiar to me. Amazing how many there are! I’ll share next week:) You certainly are busy. Such a wonderful last crop of produce! Always sad to have to clean up the garden for the winter. Have a good week ahead, and happy T day!
That’s quite a stash of tape and beautifully organized. You had a busy week! The veggies look beautiful in the wooden basket. Happy T Day!
Wow, that’s a lot of washi tape and I love that you and Eileen have shared your washi tape obsessions …lol ?. You have such a fabulous collection, I don’t have as much but will definitely share my washi tape stash next week, such fun …lol ?. Your new journal with the random papers sounds wonderful and I loved seeing the veggies from your garden – awesome! I was wondering if you would please share the journal when you have made it, not the personal content, as I would love to see what it looks like ?. Wishing you a happy T Day! J ? x
What a beautiful collection. I recognize a few that I have too. Of course I don’t have that many. I use them on my postcards and also on my scrapbook pages once I get round to doing those again.
Your last harvest looks very nice and very healthy. Now to get everything ready for next year.
I admire you that you can memorize so many names and put them to faces. Also children nowadays have strange names that are difficult to remember, and of course in Europe there are immigrants with strange unpronounceable foreign names.
Happy T Day,
Lisca
I’ve seen washi tape in Michael’s and have seen what creative use is made of it on blogs I follow, but that’s all I know lol It does look so pretty!
Those tomatoes! It’s sad to see the end of a veggie garden, but I enjoy the seasonal changes. Happy T Tuesday!
It looks like you and I bought the same Recollections set, Halle. I love the whole set. You have many other pretty ones too.
Kudos to Mini-me for her storage hack! You can see each design easily and it looks nice and neat. I’ll be looking for plastic containers like that!
I’m not sure what a smash journal – need to look that up. When I write private stuff in my planner journal, I cover it with a flip panel. The panel gives me more art real estate as well ;-)
Wow, you accomplished a lot this week. Isn’t it odd how the less free time you have, the better you use it? I’m likethat too.
Happy T-day! Eileen
I’m tired too Halle! lol and what an impressive collection of washi tape.. At least you use yours.. mine just sits.. and i collect more.. go figure.. LOVE seeing your collection.. Happy T day! Hugs! deb
You certainly fit a lot into your week! It makes me tired as well thinking about doing all that. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your painting projects. You certainly have quite the washi tape collection. I have a lot (not nearly as many as you) but I have found over time the adhesive no longer works and it sticks to the tape below it so I can no longer pull it off the roll (if that makes sense). Hopefully, that won’t happen to yours. All the more reason to play and use it up. Can’t wait to see your journal.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
I’m finally back online. I’m sorry I wasn’t back sooner, because I take my hosting duties seriously.
Your washi tapes are fabulous and I love how they are sorted. I suspect you have put mine to shame.
