"Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address. On the other hand, this not knowing has its charms..."
"...a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils." That line stuck with me because I so get it! I'd love and appreciate a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils! LOL! But really!!! Wouldn't you?!?
I remembered that line while doing this washi-tape project and had to include a photo of my sharpened colored pencils! What a happy sight!

| I got these pencils as Christmas gifts and thought of that "You've Got Mail" line, too! I painted this mug in this shop called "Color Me Mine" which closed shortly after my sisters treated me to my bridal shower there. Too bad it closed down. |
I thought I'd do another fun washi-tape project (the first was the Homemade Bag Tags) while fixing my stuff. Washi-taping my plain pencils seemed like a fun idea! If you have washi tape and pencils, I suggest you go for it! Do it as a breather in between stressful meetings at work or as a five-minute crafty project! I'm serious. It's all it takes...Five minutes to washi-tape a pencil!

| Washi-taped pencils!!! <3... I sharpened one (rightmost) to see what happens to the washi tape. It crinkles a wee bit at the tip. I suggest you use a manual sharpener to preserve the washi tape or the mechanical sharpener's teeth will leave marks on the pencil. |
You can washi-tape yellow pencils too!
