5th Annual Piggy Balance Challenge

I spent quite a few hours counting up my change Friday night.   I know that I used about $50 from it for toll roads when I was traveling.  Additionally the boys raid my change for charity days at school.

My grand total ended up being $168.80.

What is interesting is I don't have a clue what I want to buy with it.  I know there are some row by rows that I want.  Lately my big focus has been finishing up projects.

Perhaps I will purchase some machine quilting rulers or perhaps some cones of thread.  I missed the linky because, ahem, I have been a wee bit busy with outdoor work, and while the post was written I forgot to post and link.  Head over to Val's Quilting Studio and check out the piggy bank challenge.

    I have been saving in a big pink piggy bank. I won't count it until next year, I am hoping to save up enough money for a trip to Scotland.

    It's amazing how quickly that loose change adds up. You always find the best things on your shopping trips, so I'm sure that money will go for good things.

    Bring it to the TOGA, you might find something you like there (besides, it's in a quilt shop).

    I didn't know about this challenge, but I am a saver. Besides coin, I save $5 bills beginning January 1st. To date I am at $360. In previous years I have saved enough for a set of tires, paid my property tax bill, and paid for some unexpected dental work. I spent more cash back in those days (when I was working). Now I'm retired, mostly use my credit card (for the points), and still it accumulates quickly. Thinking this year either a trip to TX or some art classes.
