We love tape

I am seriously considering buying Zack a whole bunch of tape for Christmas. He uses it for everything. For example, he was completely devastated that this Halloween sign was broken. I tried a few times to glue it, but it didn't work. The solution? Tape. He was really proud of his repair job. All he needed to do was cut a paper to fix the letter H and tape it on. Good as new.
He made a lovely paper rose, but how to affix it to the wall?
He picked out some festive skull straws at the dollar store and wasn't satisfied with simply decorating a cup to put them in. It's way more convenient when they are attached to the cupboard.
He isn't the only one in the family who loves tape. I've been having a little obsession myself. It started with a wall in Noah's room that was driving me crazy. I decided to paint a big diamond and Lynne made the vinyl graphic. She did an awesome job.
And since I had some leftover tape, I decided to stripe the boring wall in my bathroom:
Which led to my biggest tape and paint project. I had to enlist Matt for this one and it has pretty much cured my tape addiction because it was sort of a pain. I am happy with the end result although the color isn't exactly what I wanted (it really isn't as purple as it looks).
