Has it been a year already?

Last year I signed up with Val's Quilting Studio for a Piggy Bank Savings Challenge.

Hard to believe but a year has flown by and it's time to count our savings.

So I dumped out the box which held my collection ...

... and counted out the bills and change for a total of...

$68.24!

I think that was pretty good, even though I didn't always remember to do it.

What am I going to use the money for?

I'm not totally sure, but in a few weeks, my hubby and I will be celebrating our anniversary, and he always takes me to a quilt shop wherever we go.

Sounds like a plan :-)

Happy Quilting!

    I have a piggy bank in my sewing desk. I tend to add small bills instead of many coins. Not sure how much I have in there, but, I'm sure a machine will come along one day, that costs more than I usually pay, and I'll use that money towards it.
