button button........

Button, button, who's got the button?

No, not those kind of buttons. Although, I must say, I do love filling my old apothecary glass jars with vintage buttons. I love looking at them and digging through them for just the right button for one of my projects. I found the one on the right, that is now holding my collection of white buttons, at the thrift store for $1.50. I am always excited to find these with ground stoppers.


Actually the buttons I am referring to, are my Grab Buttons. One of my special blogging friends, the wonderful and lovely Ricki Jill from Art @ Home  pointed out to me that my new button wasn't working and as she had deleted the old one to replace it with the new, she was now without one of my buttons. 


Of course I went into panic mode. (so silly) I should know not to do anything late at night when my brain has shut down for the day, but when I get a bee in my bonnet (boy that really dates me) I have to do it right then. Of course, I had left out part of the code. DUH!!!


This was my original button.

Too Boring!!!


Then I tweeked it to this last week.

Still not liking it. So, what was a a girl to do????.


My oldest daughter, Cary, who is also the artist behind Little Love Blue and the mother of my two amazing grandchildren made me this wonderful Tree of Life for Christmas. 

I love it, although I am still waiting for the frame (hint, hint)


Anyway, I wanted my buttons to reflect this tree of life so I found an image of a tree, and redid my buttons.

So now they are actually functioning. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks. It just takes us a little bit longer.
