I'm not even a lover of blue and I looove about half of those, Claire!!! Maybe because we've had the hottest weather here EVER!!! Yes, earlier this month Adelaide was recorded as the hottest city in the world on one day!!! So feel free to add blue washi to my mailings, girls!!! ;-)))

yes, I can see how to mail the washi tape. Thanks!  (I can't believe HOW MANY different kinds of washi tape one can buy. : ) amazingly wonderful fun.

Last thing: hey Kat, does Erni know about washi? Was thinking of sending him some...?

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on February 13, 2014 at 9:49pm

(heh heh - I just got some more neato playing cards to wrap my samples around. I hated those ugly old cards. Everything must be beautiful in my book! So there!)

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on February 13, 2014 at 9:48pm

Wow, that was fast! I only sent it Friday! Enjoy!

Yup, sounds like you got it bad Susan - lol! At least you're in the right place!

You can see on a lot of this page that we send samples. I wrap them around playing cards a lot (because they don't stick). Sometimes I also cut cards out of cardboard and cover them with wax paper, and wrap around that. Thus, you have flat samples to send!

HI!  holey moley, I need to check this thread more often!  Loved reading what you all wrote, and love the kitty tape, the flowers , Kim's collections, all the neat stuff!

ok, I caved in. Bought some washi tape from "wishywashy" ....thanks for the link, I think.

spent more time on Etsy putting washi tape in cart too.

I believe its a good thing my cars not running.  I am, in the winter of my life, on this site, discovering I am an addict.  a washi tape addict.  

I mean , I just couldn't go to that link and NOT buy any.  right?  Its like holding chocolate in front of my face.

thanks for the warm welcome.....expect mail!!  Is it possible to mail strips of washi tape as I cannot get to post office to pay for bulk mail, but I can mail flat items from my home.  ??

Oh, I didn't notice it.
Thank you! :)

Comment by Kim JungYoun on February 13, 2014 at 5:11am

vizma, what is the favorites list?

Comment by vizma bruns on February 13, 2014 at 4:02am

Hey, I just looked at the favourites list, and Kim, Kat and Claire aren't there!!!!!!  Ha ha ha!! Too busy shopping!!!!??

 

Comment by vizma bruns on February 13, 2014 at 3:58am

Glad you're ok, Kim!! You can send anything at all to me! ;-)

That vintage paper is sooo nice, and the hot air balloons, too! I have also had collections of about 12 of the things you mentioned! Still have a fetish for old wooden boxes and tins, especially cigar related!!

Comment by Kim JungYoun on February 13, 2014 at 3:49am

hahaha! I'm okay!
just managed to get out of the papers!

I do understand what you mean, Claire! :)

I like cute, beautiful, vintage and modern things. (and so on...)

 

I’m into so many things. (animals(especially dogs and cats), flowers, mugs, paper, stickers, washi tapes, doilies, airmail things, brads, twines, fabrics, torchon, lace,

buttons, coasters, stationeries, foreign coins, stamps, envelopes, postcards, ephemera, wooden boxes, tin cases, bottles, ziploc, socks, coffee... oh, endless!)

I think you girls are the same as me. Just different tastes!

 

I made 3 files of A2 size for 2 days. (It was hard work!)

I didn’t know there are so many pieces of large paper at my house. :(

I won’t buy things anymore for a while.

Now, it’s time to use all my stuff!

Mail Art Time! Yay! :)))))

 

Is it okay to send you girls “cute” mailart? :)

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on February 13, 2014 at 3:36am

(You know, it seems to have gotten worse since we started this group actually...or so it seems anyway. Now that there's shared excitement, it revs me up even more...)

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on February 13, 2014 at 3:34am

it's called 'washi-holics' for a reason, oui? I am utterly, utterly diseased!!! (Ah, but so so much beauty!!!) Well no, not quite up to 4, but it's gettin there...

Comment by vizma bruns on February 13, 2014 at 3:23am

You're kidding me!!? Now I'm scared, you're the one that started me in this obsession!!! What have you done?? Go on, tell us how much....four figures?!! I'll feel much better if you tell me! ;-)
