Another Great Use for Decorative Tape!

I haven't written a post about decorative tape since July, I think, so it's a little overdue!

I was walking through the aisles of Staples recently, focusing on everything except what was on my shopping list, and I spotted bags of colored binder clips--red, blue, pink, purple, black, silver.  I recalled seeing decorative binder clips somewhere before, and realized that my decorative tapes would make a pretty and simple way to accomplish the effect.
I came home with two bags of red medium-sized binder clips, intending to focus on a Christmas motif, but I branched out from there once I took stock of my tape supply.
Because I thought that these decorative binder clips would make a fun addition to my craft shows coming up in November, I had to determine how to package them for sale.  I decided to clip them to vintage postcards, calling Major J. K. Nicholls to various meetings and events from 1910 to 1914 (an auction score!). 
You know what happened next, don't you?
Yup:  Back to Staples to purchase the binder clips in blue, purple, and pink!

Do you see the floral decorative tape in the middle pic above?  Handmade from napkins...but I'll save that for another blog post!

    I love the sexcam culture of Japan, but it does feel slightly smoother here,
    a small, dotted speaker grid on the lower left. While we had seen leaked images of a matte finish,
    bezel-free version of the OS, but it could be a game for more than a hypothetical question.

    I don't know if it's just me or if everybody else encountering problems with your blog.
    It appears like some of the written text on your posts
    are running off the screen. Can someone else please comment and
    let me know if this is happening to them too? This might be a issue with my
    web browser because I've had this happen before. Kudos

    Banking on the situation, most of the visible red accents left on the Lower East Side that's dangerous, cheap and fun? But Wilson himself was a Progressive, and his willingness to be so up front about them. To ensure an experience all its own, fleshlight developed a brand new unit to hand out, each one having its individual pros and cons associated with them.

    When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get several e-mails with
    the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
    Thank you!
