Hello,
I saved one baby formula can from 12 years ago as my piggy bank. I recently dressed it up a little. It is a big can 5 x 10 inches. My daughter likes to play with the can when there were not much coins in it so two of the flowers fell off.
Last year the total added up to around $200 and the year before that it was a little under $200. I was surprised how much they all added up this year. There must be lots of quarters in there because the total was,
drum roll please,
$320.23. A little extra money to support my new habit. lol
A local Joann Fabric store was moving so they had their fabrics on sale at 75% off. So I was in and out of there 3 times in one week. When a lady saw my cart, she commended that I must sew a lot and I told her I don't sew. Her eye brows went up. lol

It's amazing how fast the change can add up. Your change can is pretty.
I would have loved to have hit that Joanne sale
The can is so pretty. Now, what are you going to do with all that fabric?
Hi Helen!
Well that was a pretty funny story.
Your can is quite lovely.
I hardly ever have any change since I rarely use cash, but I do kinda miss it, because it definitely adds up fast!!! You made that formula can look really pretty. Upcycling things is the best!!! Wish I could have snagged some of that sale fabric, jealous!! :):)
