Washi Tape & How to Freak out the Supply Hoarder in You

What can you do when the inner supply hoarder flares up? Force yourself to use something sacred. I forced myself to "use up" my washi tape. And by use up I mean use just a little of it.
Using the super special Van Gogh washi tape really freaked out that supply hoarder in me. Could there actually be a part of me that thinks Vincent actually made that tape?
Next came the sacred supply that I cut up but didn't use. Well, that sealed the deal to officially freak out my inner supply hoarder. And you'll see a stenciling OOPS in there too. Blog post and supply links acolorfuljourney.com/?p=24106

I’m Carolyn Dube, a self taught mixed media art adventurer who has rediscovered play. I play with every color of the rainbow, avoid rules whenever possible, and let the little kid inside of me free. Visit the blog where I’m sharing the journey at acolorfuljourney.com/ and get my newsletter with downloadable Sparks of Art-spiration and more at acolorfuljourney.com/?page_id=...
You can find my articles in magazines such as Somerset Studio and Cloth Paper Scissors, spot me teaching in person and online workshops, designing stencils for StencilGirl Products, and sharing the message of O.O.P.S.
What does O.O.P.S. stand for? It stands for Outstanding Opportunities Presenting Suddenly.
Those “failures” and “mistakes” that I had so harshly criticized myself about actually became true gifts as soon as I started saying O.O.P.S. Try saying Oops in an angry tone. It makes it even more silly! I just can’t take myself seriously when I say Oops which is just what I needed to play. I began to play, to have fun, and to embrace all of my “mistakes”.
