Just something for you to think about... back to school shopping will be here before you know it! ARGH!
Big Tall Hubby got some new shirts for Father's Day, and a way cool new hat and some new dock shoes. Man, he is one lucky dude. And a well dressed one to boot. I'm a little jealous. Anyway.I always save the extra buttons that come with a new shirt. Well, duh, you do too right? Well, I am so on it, I put the tag in the teeny baggie after I cut them off and voila, I know exactly what shirt that button goes to. See the little description "grey", it helps I tell ya. Now, for those stores that have plainish tags, I would just write, "grey Jos. Bank shirt". I know, I'm a genius. Hold your applause, please. If they don't have one of those teensy baggies, I have a stash that have used for crafts and treats. Or if I am feeling lazy, I just toss the button in the pile. But don't picture that, imagine my perfectly organized buttons why don't ya?
I keep all my buttons in a drawer in my sewing cabinet. Someday on my "to do" list, you will see "clean out button" drawer, cos, man, do I have a lot of buttons!
Have a happy weekend all!

Well aren't you clever! I just have a whole lot of little bags with buttons that I have no idea where they belong! Plus, I have never even sewed a button before. But, I have them just in case I ever do decide to put one back on!
Boy organized mommy, you sure are being organized! I must admit that I don't save buttons{unless they are really cute, then I craft with them}, but if I did this would be brilliant.
Yes, leave the egg out of the fried rice you little veggie head :) It will be just fine without it. And add more veggies{I meant to say that in my post}. Bok Choy and all sorts of other stuff would be awesome in it.
We love Joseph A Banks! I bet your hubby looks handsome :)
LOL Those extra buttons for me usually go in the trash or to a craft project ;-)
Have a great week!

I so throw mine in a drawer. And not even the same drawer...just the one near by.
You are the best organized Mommy! I save all mine, only I have no clue about what they go on {thank goodness I've NEVER had to use one}! I'm going to steal your very organized tip and then I will know just what button to put where IF I ever do need one.
