Ouch.
I had declared myself broke a month and a half ago, but it didn't hit me until yesterday.
What pains me most about this is... being unable to buy washi tape.
Dreadful thing to admit, but the truth after all. I could do so many things with washi tape.
I could decorate photo frames, bottles, notebooks, gifts, boxes, tins, my iPad. I could have a room decorated with washi tape.
Washi tape is pretty. And I hate pretty things when I can't buy them.
Only a couple minutes ago I visited three different online stores, filled three different shopping carts with crafting stuff and left all three websites before checking out because stupid Jiminy cricket keeps telling me I shouldn't because I need to save.
Why have I become so twee?
These last few days have been a nightmare, I hadn't seen so many pretty things online ever, mugs, gift wrap, tags, kraft paper, boxes, baskets, ribbons... crafting is a big issue online, and there are millions, thousands of websites insisting on showing and selling us pretty things for... no purpose actually. I got ribbon, kraft paper tags, a blackboard and grey and white paper straws for I don't know which party... And I need more!
Crafting is totally unnecessary but totally addictive, and of course I have fallen in the twee trap of crafting. Huh, I may go see if I can do some DIY stuff and get rid of this need for pretty things. I may even show you. If it is worth it, of course.
It doesn't help that my sister is an origami genius and has filled our house with beautiful origami flowers.
I need to find my something to best her at. And I think washi tape will do the trick. Soon enough I'll have a washi taped fan. Even if I don't need one...
If anyone cares, I would be totally happy if I got a few rolls of washi tape for my birthday, which is coming yet too quickly.
I may have a few ideas on where you can get me my present this year ;P
Care to have a look?

First of all, I'm glad you realized your bday is appraching, since I was stating it as a fact for future washi tape investors on your behalf.
Secondly, remind me to kill you next time I see you for not telling me about a)washi tape and b)this lovely stores before when you know I've been mad about DIY and spendig far too much time doing DIY things this past few months (it's so damn relaxing I'm seriously thinking about making a career of it)
Thirdly... I'm got to push Jiminy aside and state another fact: you're decorating, hence you can afford to spend money in lovely DIY things that can later help decorate your house.
Love
