[Blindtlk] how about painting?

[Judy Jones]

Oh yes, and kids use it on their school notebooks.  I love the idea of 
sparkly duct tape on a cane.  Will have to check it out.  Would be fun to 
have a bit of bling.

You brought up a good point Judy. Duct tape can take stuff off walls etc. I 
guess masking tape does come in wide or sizes. Shows you how long it's been 
since I've use masking tape LOL. I saw one kid with their cane covered with 
Sparkly duct tape. They make it for everything now in days not just for guys 
anymore! I bet you could decorate a room with it rather than painting.
