People say I have a button problem. I prefer button situation. I've confessed, owned my problem. I spelled it out in this earlier post- owning my button hoarding ways. After all, Dr. Phil says I can't fix what I don't acknowledge. So I have raised my hand in proud declaration! I am a button hoarder. Tried and true!
So I decided it was time to wrangle in some of these buttons, corral them into a storage display that would be both attractive and functional. I found a ratty fab canister set, gave it a tlc coat of paint and prepared to empty 9 of my button barrels into a shiny new home.
I got through 2 barrels and filled 2 1/2 jars. I decided this was not the wisest way to use my revamped canisters. I would just end up with even more button barrels that would be infinitely more difficult to dig through. And I need easy access to my obsession! So I left 2 for buttons and filled the remaining jars with thread and bits- things I use often.
Dr. Phil would probably say I am avoiding my issue. But I say I have taken an honest inventory and I really don't see a problem with my button obsession. At least I'm not hoarding gum wrappers or something totally useless. Who's to say I'll never be able to use 1,467, 876 buttons?

LOVE & ANYONE HAVE AN EXTRA BUTTON?
Hello, my name is Debbie and I am a buttonaholic too! And I really don't see what the problem is Jacquie, seems perfectly normal to me to have 1,467,876 buttons! Great storage solution though, I especially love the "Stuff" container! Deb
