I'm with you, I have alot of them too.. Its bothersome when they get misplaced so If i have a cupful I don't have to waste time searching for them when I'm sewing- and yes i do do Rip, Rip, Rip... but thankfully not every time!!!
Hmmm, maybe we just like notions..... Yup, that's my story and I'm stickin to it!!!
