It wasn't all drama and hard moments--we actually had a bunch of fun. We're like that though. One Mason jar of buttons and we're havin' a party. LOL
I used 'em to play bingo--and she showed me a trick or two.
Under the influence of major pain medications for the tumors (now removed, thank you G-d...) and wanting badly to just have a sense of normalcy....she showed me how to make pretties!
Yeah, well.....she's a scrapbooking sorta gal and she has tons of pretty paper and equal amounts of crafty talent. I, on the other hand, was just foolin' around.
So I grabbed a mail order catalog and cut it up instead.
Ohhhhh.....but I made pretties!
:-)
So today, while himself was running hither and yon--I stepped into the antique store and found a steal of a deal on a bunch of buttons that seemingly no one wanted.

Mel, these button thingies are cute as a BUTTON!!!
OMG, they're absolutely precious!
You could make earrings, pins, hair clips, or just about anything with them.
How clever your sister and you are!
((((( Mel )))))
X ya bunches!
Dearest Mel..so glad to hear you are home. Although, I know part of you is still with your sister and BIL. You are such a wonderful person and have done a wonderful job in loving and preparing them to deal with things on their own. Small bits of news (soft food) is a giant step in recovery. I'm sure himself is happy to have you home. Rest Mel..maybe himself will join you in making pretties with the buttons. I am sending caring thoughts to your whole family. If I had a sister, I would want one just like you. Hugs!
Isn't it amazing what a jar of buttons can do for folks who love colour, shape and contour? What a talented pair both of you are!
I hope the staff have been able to keep your workload down to a dull roar.
Did you see that I featured you in the Occupy this week? Thanks so much for your incredible spirit, you darling woman.
