We all know
the traditional "Button, Button, Who’s Got the
Button" game. Where you sit in a circle and have
a button secretly placed in your hand by the
“leader” and have the other children guess who
has the button.
I remember
when I was little my mom had a couple jars full
of old odds and ends buttons. I enjoyed sitting
down on the floor, dumping them out and trying
to match them. I would sit for hours playing
with the button jars. After I got married, I
started a button jar and would add to it
whenever I found a button.
Once I
started scrapbooking, I was able to pull my jar
out and add the buttons to my layouts. Either to
the middle of a flower, the dot of an “I”, or
just placed randomly around my pages. Now you
can find all kinds of colors, shapes, sizes and
themes of buttons in the scrapbooking section.
With my love of buttons, I went a little
overboard and bought a packet every time I went
to a scrapbooking store. Storing them can be a
problem. Here are a couple ideas to get you
started.
