Cute for Kids: Puzzle Stools

I have quite a few kid's birthday parties coming up in the next few months, and I've got my eye on these sweet little puzzle stools! They come in primary colors or pastels, with shapes or without, and start at just $40. Puzzle coat racks & name puzzles are also available.

TapeSwell Project Ideas #3

Home Decor with Tape? Sure, why not!?
Check out these cute photos of candles, vases & picture frames that were all given a little makeover with, what else...packaging tape!

TapeSwell Project Idea #2

What can you do with 120 gorgeously scrolly labels on a roll?

1. You could start your own cannery...or {more realistically} buy pre-canned items, remove pre-affixed label, and apply your own for a sweet, I-Made-It-Myself look!
2. Label wedding or other party favors.

3. Create sleek, modern looking packages.

4. Label beautiful binders with beautiful stickers. You're on your own for beautiful penmanship!
