I've Got It On Tape

My name is Ginny and I am a tape-o-holic.  They say admitting your problem puts you on the road to recovery.  I am not sure I am ready for that, but I have run out of room in my designated tape drawer.

First I fell in love with Gaffer Tapes from 7Gypsies.  Every new catalog would introduce a few more designs.  I love them all. Recently they introduced patterned paper tape and I fell in love with that too...and gaffer tape with writing on it. My idea of heaven. I kept ordering more telling myself that it was for Small Studio customers, but more and more rolls made their devious way into my tape drawer. Then my daughter told me about colored duct tape.  Soon after the hobby stores came out with patterned shipping tape...tulips and damask and polka dots, oh my. Then that wicked Kelly Kilmer blogged about Japanese tapes and Etsy sites that sold them.  I love them too. Tim Holtz is coming out with several tissue tapes that look very interesting.  I have them on order for me, I mean you. 

Thanks for the suggestions for my pillows.  I wouldn't have asked if I hadn't been questioning their placement.  I really wanted them all together and they have finally found a home in our guest room. This is the one John calls the "train" room because it has the framed train destination rolls.  

So Leslie, Doug, Sheri and Bruce, c'mon out and see how good they look.  Thanks again.

Hey! don't be blaming me, I only said that you NEEDED them. *snort*

I am too embarrassed to post my tape pictures. Including the ones I have for classes, it's just insane.

I am not an addict. I am not an addict.

Your tape is GREAT! How very fun for you! Thanks for sharing your collection (s). My new thing is mailing labels. I saw some wrap-around ones I may need to purchase. Sigh.

OK, I saw the picture of all the rolls of tape and it actually took my breath away! LOL!!!!! I haven't admitted it to anyone, but I am all into tape now, too. Like I need to hoard one more thing. But, I really do use it. I found some of the 7Gypsies tape for 50% OFF at my LSS and I bought every roll they had. I blame you for all of this, you know. If I hadn't come to the first Art Continuum and visited Creative Block (my first "real" stamp store), I would probably be cross-stiching my way into my old age instead of having a studio I can hardly walk across without stepping on piles of stuff. LOL.

Great collection of tape. Definitely makes me want to add more to my own stash.

Holy Moly! I don't think I even realized there were soooooo many tapes out and about just waiting for crafty craving fingers to snatch up! They're really cool looking!
I confess my tapes are limited to packing tape and masking tape and a whole lotttttttttttttt of floral tape.
The pillows look great on the beds. I thought they looked great on the sofa too. :D That's the nice thing about a cool design element is I think you can't go wrong where ever you put it (she says wondering how they'd look piled in the middle of the table surrounded by the breakfast dishes...er, amend that to almost anywhere)
