Looking beyond things.
Scrappers are sooo gifted.
We have a pair of powerful eyes.
And that special eyes
can see beyond things.
can see beyond things.
If you are not realizing it yet,
don't fret.
It's inside you,
just waiting patiently
to be out and trained.
Yesterday
we bought more shirts
that my husband loved,
simple shirts from Giordano.
They had new packaging,
yet nothing is struck me
until I opened them at home
and let the shirts out
to be washed.
Then something happen.
Looking at these empty
packagings & cool 'essentials'
print on the side
really made my eyes smile.
My special old trained eyes.
Do you?
Do you see what I see?
Yup. Potential.
Potential things to reuse.
So I fill in the plastic
with buttons, and more buttons,
which I haven't put in jars yet
since it will take too much
space on the shelves.
And I covered the hanging
with left over papers.
I am happy.
My buttons are happy.
They safely tuck in
the shelves now,
(plan to hang these
somewhere soon)
waving to me
every time I pass by.
Can you see them smiling?
what an awesome idea, its true Ria scrappers & paper artist have an inner eye that guides their choices and helps us see what others fail to see. thank you for sharing your new wonderfully delightful button bags!
