Have not done much crafting this week!

My computer just took a dump: I have no internet, but my husband is workin just fine. I have tried everything I can think off, but nothing... So now, I will pay someone to look at it!
We went to the Local Azaela Festival on the north end of the island. It was stunning and we took over 200 pictures : everything from a butterfly resting on a piece of railing in a jungle, some really funky trees against the sun and of course the blooms..... Since I can not access them right here to add a picture please check out my husbands site. The link is on top of the page to the left!

I have however been shopping and I found stamps, stamps and more stamps. Some rather usual and some a bit unusual.... I will be listing them on etsy this week and next week. We are going to Thailand for spring break the beginning of April (we moved here to see Asia and now is as good as a chance as ever...) and will be gone from 4/2 until 4/11.

New cotton cloth tape !!!

It has taken me a while, but I just have to write about it : cloth tape. I had never seen something like that before. It is a 100 % cotton fabric with adhesive on the back. The tape is backed on the spool by peel-off paper. How neat - no sticky residue.... And it is pretty cool looking too. The majority off it has a very Japanese feel to it, but there are also a few spools with typical Aimee/Kawaii Figures on it. I have been using some off it to deck out some old picture frames and am giving them a new Asian look. Each spool is 5cm wide and 100 cm long (approx. 2x40")... My son was using it for his homework assignment in Japanese class - he cut some off the fans and balls out and combined them with origami paper for a collage..... So it seems the possibilities are amazing .....
