Lets raise a pint to the future.......♥

I found these pre-wound bobbins at my favorite farmstand over the weekend...they cost a total of $7.00~ can you imagine my glee???? So~what, do you ask, are my plans for this excess????

Well, just last week I completed yet another series of scans and all is clear (whoop~whoop!) I remain a survivor from cancer for 10 YEARS now...   :)

So for me that means a future~ thus I surround myself with what would seem to others like excess but to me it is a reminder that my plate of life is exquisitely full.....

So this jar is not too much ~  it's just enough....and I will continue with my larger than life plans ...♥

    Having only started reading your blog recently, I had no idea you had battled cancer. And beat it into submission! Congratulations!

    A 10 year anniversary of clear scans? Truly an occasion to celebrate!

    It would be enough for me to just sit them on the table or desk and enjoy looking at them.
    Great find!

    First, congrats on 10 years cancer free. I got my all clear at the beginning of Dec., 4 years for me. High Five!!!
    Second, what a cute way to display those cute bobbins. I bought a box of simular bobbins a few years ago but they are still in their box!!! I'm finding a cute jar for them. Thanks for the inspiration. Happy New Year.
