Over at Val's she has a challenge posted about saving loose change for a year to be spent on quilting supplies.
In the past Mr. Books and I have saved our change and when we have "big" trips come up (like the Rally we just attended in Indiana) we combine the change to add to our spending money. One time, between the two of us we had over $800! Unfortunately, for Indiana he only managed about $180. . . . but I think he had dipped into his change for some fishing equipment that he needed.
I'm getting a little bit of a late start. . . . I will be starting today, July 8th, but I am hoping that I will have enough at the end of the year to purchase something fun.
I don't know what I am shooting for. . . . I certainly don't need any more books, patterns, fabric, or kits. I have enough of that to stock my own store!! LOL
And, with the collection of sewing machines that Mr. Books and I have I don't need any more of those either. But, I don't have one of these:
Hmm. . . .does anyone have any opinion on the use of a serger? I have never used one and don't really see where I would get as much use out one as I do with my sewing machines.
Of course, I could always use the money to help defray the cost of our latest acquisition:
Guess I will just have to see where I am next year before I can decide on what I want to use the money for.
In peace and pieces,
