in the last month or so I've been
trying to be more thoughtful in my gift giving. not that i gave thoughtless gifts before, but i'm really starting to see its the
THOUGHT that counts not how much you spent on it. like i mentioned last week, one of our friends lost his dad last week.
it was our friends birthday yesterday. and i was really trying to think of a thoughtful
gift. and then i remembered something,. when his dad first got the news of his terminal illness one of the
FIRST things he said was "i never had a button collection, i always wanted one" it had been one of those things he had never done, but really
wanted to. so his son got a jar and they all started collecting buttons, every time they were out at a store etc. by the end his jar was
full
. so....getting back to his birthday I made some button magnets he can stick on his refrigerator to remember his dad by.
check out my finished project.
or you can double them up. like this.
blessings,
Ashley

Sweet Idea!
thanks miss tracy! :-)
What a wonderful and thoughtful gift, it actually brought a tear to my eye! The magnets are adorable and such a great idea, I can't wait to try it! Thanks for posting! (Found you through Tip Me Tuesday!)
I bet that was the best present your friend ever got!
Oh, boy, now I know something new I can do with the bazillions of buttons I have! (And I even have magnets!)
Great idea, thanks!
