    you will not believe what these people did with buttons. follow the links to find out.



    Now, to my gift for you this week. A charming friend of mine (Hi Kate) sent me this interesting article about buttons, and I thought you'd like to see it. It was a button competition held recently and well, here's the links, hope you enjoy them.

    Cool....hmmmm...I thought about the giant pin for the balloon dresses, the big clown shoes for the eggs...I don't think I could actually do anything with the buttons.

    Wish I'd thought about that couch idea before I hauled mine to the curb!!
