I love buttons. Too much.

A few years, I was convicted after I organized my buttons by color in little stackable mugs. I didn’t do much with any of them, except for occasionally glue one onto a notecard or envelope. So I gave them all away (to my mother, which means I still have easy access to them…).

Then! I happened to find some cute ones today. In between classes, I snuck off to the Green Tangerine, a store filled with scrapbooking and craft supplies.
