ME!!!!!
My Mom got me this uber-cool clear glass vase for Christmas and as soon as I unwrapped it I *knew* what I was gonna use it for:
Isn't this the coolest??? And this isn't a little vase either - it's around 18" high - and I even took a pic of it w/ an inkpad inside so you can get an idea of just how big it really is:
She told me she got it at Winners (for those that don't know it's a big discount-type store where you can get brand-name clothing/shoes/housewares etc etc etc for less than retail price) and it was only $20 (she left the price tag on it LOL - she's always so proud of the deals she gets *grin*).
Anyway I LOVE it and all my buttons are now displayed so nicely:
(FYI most of these are from Autumn Leaves - their Foof-a-la collections - you can get bags of them in different color assortments. I got mine from my local scrapbook store. I also have some Making Memories buttons and I even threw in all my Stampin' Up! buttons in there too - the more the merrier eh??)
ETA - you know I *did* have some trouble throwing the SU buttons into the mix - I debated it for a while and it was reeeeaaalllllyyyy hard to open all the containers and just dump them in w/ everything else - but once I did it and mixed them all up there was no going back!! 'Sides - I justified it in that I can EASILY tell which button is a SU button - they are completely different than any other button that's in there! The painted finish on them sets them apart. PLUS I now have room in my stack and store for MORE embellishments *insert wicked laugh* (so you see I DO have a method to the madness).
Now if someone were to say that I should mix up all my *other* SU embellies (brads, eyelets etc etc etc) w/ all the non-SU stuff they'd have a fight on their hands! *wink* All of those are in the containers they came in - properly labelled and stored in the order that they are in the catalog (see there's the OCD kicking in! ROFL!!).
