Keeping This One!

One of my New Year Resolutions that's at the top of my LOOOOOOOOOONG list of them is to save some extra money for Quilty Fun.  I love to go to Quilt Shows, Shop Hops, and just  one nighter trips to visit other Quilt Shops (I have cats and can't stay longer).




You might like to see how I plan on accomplishing this.  (Well....if you don't want to see then you can just stop reading now and go back to your email.)  


I started doing this a long time ago when my Tied Together Bee went on a 2 day Shop Hop. Oh what fun we had!   We rented a 9 passenger van, and took eats, pillows, cameras,.....and of course money & credit cards.  We filled up the back area of that van with lots of goodies on the way home.








I took a couple of pictures of past trips, printed them out and taped them to this jar....more inspiration to save!







I know it doesn't look like much now......but Hey, it's only January 2nd!!   It's worked for me in the past, so I say "GO WITH WHAT WORKS". 

What are some of your resolutions this year??



Thanks for visiting.

    Great plan. It's a lot easier when you put aside a little at a time.

    It sounds like a good plan to me. I am saving for a weekend retreat in March and a shop hop during the summer.
