Materials: All you need is…
All we did was tape the strips on, covering both the fronts and the backs of the notebooks. LC picked which tapes to use on which notebook and what order he wanted them in. Here’s how they turned out. One for Mr. David, one for Ms. Ann, and one for Ms. Marleen.
This tape is a little different from the washi tape I normally use; a little heavier, a little less sticky, a little wider, and a little more opaque. It’s great for kids, and made a nice finished product!
Here’s the obligatory beach shot. 🙂
Sigh. I miss the beach.
Anyway, here is the little man with Ms. Marleen and Ms. Ann, who were very happy to receive their presents.
We were glad to do a little something for them as a thank-you for their extra kindness. When we entered our room, Ms. Ann had made a special swan shaped towel to greet LC, along with a sand shovel and a pack of trail mix. Ms. Marleen gave him three plastic cups with the hotel logo and a Nemo kick board that another child had left behind earlier in the summer. Not to mention the smiles and love they gave him each day. Thanks, ladies, for making our trip so memorable once again! The little things you do matter in a big way.

Aw yeah, I have the same washi tape! Because I’m a big kid. And because it rocks 🙂
Nicole says
That tape looks pretty great but it looks really awesome on a notebook! Your son did a great job picking out what tapes to go on which notebooks. 🙂

We’re mad about journals in this house, and these ones look fabulous. I haven’t worked with washi tape yet, but I think it’s time to try!
