Happy Halloween!

I was making a quick trip to Wal-Mart for a few things. As always, I was searching the parking lot for loose change. Just as I was going to give up, I found 2 pennies and quickly put them in my chain maille bag.

Slowly but surely I am getting to the end of Step 14. Winter will soon be here, so the loose change in the parking lot may be getting a little more scarce then it already is .

I want to wish everyone a happy and safe Halloween. This project reminds me of a gentleman whose house we used to go to as a kid. He didn't hand out candy to us, but instead, he threw a handful of pennies into our bags, much to our disgust too. Now if I could only remember where he lived!


Balance - $70.06 + $.02 = $70.08

$11.84 from Completing Step 14!


Till next time.....

Bottles and Pennies!

Took back my last big batch of bottles from work and received $18.70. Now that the contractors from my work are gone, the bottles from there will be slim pickens.

Also found 3 pennies at Burger King after I took bottles back. So maybe my karma is back, will have to go looking tonight and find out. One thing is for sure and that is after this step I will have to find another way to raise money!



Balance - $51.33 + $18.70 + $.03 = $70.06

$11.86 from Completing Step 14!

Till next time.....

False Alarms!

I have been diligently looking lately, but, besides some cans and bottles I have collected(and yet to return), I have come up empty. Unless you can count false alarms.

You know! The glob of gum gleaming in the sunshine that looks just like a brand new quarter. Or the rolled up receipt that has a coupon printed on the back that highly resembles a crisp dollar bill.

One of my daughters found a dollar bill in the hall at school Friday. So I suspect the Karma has drifted from me to her for the time being. Can't wait for it to come back!

I have also added a new doubler to our family of doublers. Please welcome ZTAM and give loads of encouragement, good luck and wisdom and visit his blog often.

Till next time.....
