Cased Mini Treat Tote Box

Today a very good friend of mine dropped by specifically to give me something!!  Lo and behold she comes bearing beautiful washi tapes (Japanese paper tapes)!!  She said she remembered me when she saw these at the kiosk they were browsing.

I was just wishing in my head for some yesterday because I saw a cute link on a friend's Facebook page on how to use them.

But best of all, the big roll is the Paris one I have wanted to buy for months now but it was always out of stock! This is a case of good things come to those who wait.  A big thank you to my friend Jamie!!! You are super sweet!! =)

A little trivia about me: I seem to be better at copying the work of others than coming up with my own idea.  Thankfully there are so many crafty bloggers out there who are very generous with sharing their talent.  From one of them I copied my project for the day.

She, in turn, was kind enough to give the link to the free tutorial which saved me a ton of time trying to figure out how to make it.
