Have you ever started a big project and gotten so tied up in the tiny details, that you lose sight of the project all together? That happened to me today.
I was moving my button collection from the basement to the new office upstairs, when I decided to put a few of my buttons in jars. "Wouldn't they look so pretty on my new Ikea shelves," I thought to myself.
I found myself sorting through the entire box of buttons and organizing them into color coordinated piles.
Most of them were still in the package, so I unwrapped over a hundred button cards, and poured the buttons into jars.
Hours later. . . . six jars full. Four piles left untouched. I need more jars.
This last photo could be considered one of my most flattering self-portraits.

We are coveting your collection here, the boys especially. Noa says: I need those buttons
buttons. why do they remind me of grandma? Dawn McMahon had a button collection. We visited her when I was a child and it inspired me to start my own. It didn't last very long. I love this post!
Ooooh, the buttons are better than I remembered!!
I love the color combinations. I bet they look so pretty on your shelf and out of the box. Your last picture made me laugh so hard. I had to stare at it trying to figure out why you called it your self portrait and then "POW" I saw you in the lid reflection. It is funny how I couldn't see that at first. Anyways, Ellie and I might need to run over and shop for a special button from your collection for a little bunny that needs some tender love and care.
drool. oh those buttons. my favorite thing.
