NAH! too much work! I a basic kind of gal...just like to have lots of them! But you would be sooooo proud of me! The eyelet queen site was having a great sale! I loaded up my cart several times and then deleted it all!

Thanks Spinning! I'll check out the site tonight.

I just won a couple of eBay auctions for some holiday themed eyelets that I can't get in the stores anymore...candy canes, snowmen, bells, etc...

They should work well on my cards.

Spinning I'm kinda getting the idea you just collect those things and just sit around admiring your stock. Confess, you really don't even use them on pages do you???

 

[Spinning]

now Pam what gives you that idea.....I do use them maybe not on every page....I used a ton on the last swap! But I do think that is why I empty my shopping cart at that site and not buy...They are so cute but I know I wouldnt' use them at one point I htink I had $20 plus dollars in eyelets!!!
One thing I do like I add them to my SS stuff, or thank you for hosting a swap....I usually keep 4 for me and then give away the rest! LOL!

Wow! Thanks for the info! I will be printing this out! I have bought quite a few eyelets but rarely use them...probably because I rarely scrapbook or stamp lately.. But I hope to change that.
