Early last month, I received a short note about these fun eyes that for some unknown reason has stuck with me.
It simply said:
"I have separated these into separate colors so that I have them right at hand when I need them!"

Saying goodbye: I have my own stash of these in black and white and in color and in various sizes. I guess I would say I have quite the collection of them now! And they are separated by size and color!

What I Learned:
1. I prefer the classic black and white googly eyes over the colored ones, but I do think the color ones would look great on the bunny rabbit stickers, as seen above, for Easter.
2. I just love to sort and have since a child, it brings me comfort and perhaps as a recovering hoarder it brings me a sense of order when my hoarding ways brings such chaos and out of control clutter.
I can sort for hours and lose track of time, so much so I'll end up sorting, instead of working on my art projects!
3. Also, when I was a teacher, these wiggly eyes were so difficult to find and I used them all the time in the classroom of 30 students, so finding enough for each one was not an easy task. I would need 60 for the class just to have a pair of eyes each! We used them every holiday to make cards for family and friends.
We used them to make everything fun and funny! We glued them to our fingers to learn left and right, each finger name and for English Language Developement with the song, "Where is Thumbkin?" Can you imagine, I would have to find 20 wiggle eyes for just one students hands and multiply that by 30 students and that's 600!
Many times we had improvise by taking turns or had cyclops thumbkins or just pointer finger eyes, etc.
I do know, as a recovering hoarder, I was still buying things thinking I'm one day going to teach again and need these or some other supplies! Finally I let my credential expire and it took care of my hoarding fun school supplies for the future!
Which wiggly googly eyes do you prefer, the classic white and black or color ones?

My new goal is making more art to see if it can fill the void for
hoarding Last time, I made loteria art cards which are now listed at
each shop. This week, I've been working on some embroidery patches and
will
be listing them soon too! And I think I'll be gluing some wiggle eyes to stickers and other Easter items!
Also, I'll be adding new listings when each shop sells an item and it looks like there's some already!
Click on the shop names to visit new hoard listed daily and/or weekly: HoarderRehab with 195 items, The Destiny of Things- 191 items, VintageToGoEasy - 199 items and JunkDrawerAndMore - 192 items
Maybe you'll find something to adopt and share your story too! Thanks for looking!
