Humor Me Wednesday at The Bug Blog

Today we celebrate, crazy, bizarre and out of the ordinary holidays.

Today I'm celebrating the Count your Buttons Day with Olivia's 10 Month card for her special box.

I have this beautiful button box that my mom gave me years ago filled with lovely buttons, that I ALWAYS FORGET to USE....until after the card is complete!
Not today!!  :)
