I kept all my receipts too. Mostly if I needed a certain fabric that I needed more of. But not to long ago I decided to throw them away before I did add them up and make myself sick. I've been real good on not buying much fabric, and I sprained my hand which closed me down on sewing. But I watched tut's and now have spent money on "TOOLS" oh well. Life is short, might as well enjoy it while I can.
