Do Eyelets Serve A Higher Purpose?

Written by Thena Smith

Forgive me, my kind scrapping friends
And one question let me pose...
Eyelets, tags and shakers
What are the purposes of those?

I have a trillion photos
That pose a looming task
And since I fail to know their use
I thought that I should ask...

I don't want to miss out on something
That I will regret later on
But seems to me that eyelets
On clothing should belong....

Years ago when I was sewing
And making baby clothes
I hammered and  I pounded
A score or so of those.

And as for shaker boxes
Who invented those (and why?)
I do not see the purpose
Altho I really try!

If my purpose is my photo
To protect, preserve and show
Why do I need confetti.....
I confess I do not know!

Labels, tags, brads and nailheads
I just cannot get hold
Of the newest and the trendiest--
It's gotten out of control!

What a great relief it was
And what a wonderful surprise
When we found our own  special scrapping stuff
To replace sewing and office supplies.

But now it seems we're back again
To office supplies galore
Except the price is three times as much
At the local scrap booking store!

I'm really not complaining
But I really want to know
If they serve some greater purpose...
Will somebody let me know????
