Final 12 months I used to be obsessive about my Dymo Embossing Label Maker (nonetheless am) as a result of it made every part in my condo really feel classic and cute and most significantly, organized. I nonetheless use it religiously, however for this transfer, I made a decision to implement the traditional Sharpie and tape combo, besides I nonetheless should be an aesthetic weirdo about it and use this brown painter’s tape as an alternative of blue. No matter makes the packing course of extra pleasing, proper? I simply actually just like the look of it, plus it’s usable for a lot of issues.
