What is one thing that you're happy that you have?

I would have to say right now... my puppy, Hope.... I know she is not a "thing" but she is the best thing I have gotten lately... she is the most precious little thing and makes me smile everyday!

My favorite things I own are:

- my engagement ring -- antique platinum and diamonds family heirloom from the early 1900s passed down from my hubby's great grandmother to his grandmother to his father who gave it to his mother as an engagement ring and his mother gave it to my hubby to give to me (she must really like me huh?)

- my yorkies -- (pictures attached) Hobbs, my oldest yorkie, we got as a present for our first Christmas together (Christmas 2005) from my parents. The second yorkie, Hootie, we bought with our own hard earned money back in June. She is from the exact same parents as Hobbs. We LOOOOOVE our furbabies!

- My adam+eve shirts. Does anyone watch Oprah? Did you see the episode where Oprah revealed her most favorite shirt ever?? Well, that is what the adam+eve shirt is and I tell ya what....Oprah was not lying! These shirts are AMAZING! You can sleep in them, wear them to work or church, wear them out on the town, wear them to work out in, EVERYTHING! I cannot get enough of these shirts.

Rebecca, you're little furbabies are so cute!! I have one little yorkie, Reuger, and he's very special too. I don't know what I'd do without him. He's great company!!!

Janet, my husband uses tools all the time. Since I've started using the "girly" ones they tend to stay in the house. Before I got them my tools would all disappear! I also buy the cheaper ones because my husband needs really good quality tools. He knows that mine won't hold up as well so he avoids using them.

Mine are good quality, but my husband and son have to ask to use them, I keep my toolbox locked and I'm the only one with a key. That way I know what goes out and it better come back, they are not allowed to take them outside. My husband needs good quality tools too. He does auto body repair. He really doesn't need too many new ones now, he's been doing this for about 38 years and he takes great care with his tools, they are his livelihood.

My mother always had a toolbox. I put one together for myself, and whenever I went to get something out of it, what I needed was missing. Someone had gotten into my box. I found the items put them back, but it kept happening. Finally the box completely disappeared. It had to be elfs or something, because no one in my house would admit to even knowing the toolbox existed & definitely did not take it .

When my mom go to the point that she could not stay in her home and moved to assisted living, I got her toolbox. Some of the items in it had sentimental valve. I had it maybe a month. No one in my family got it either, but the box itself is in our garage with a variety of nuts, bolts and screws stored in it.

I gave up. When I need something I go to the garage and hunt. If I like what I find, I hide it in a drawer in my laundry room or bedroom. Forget the toolbox. I have a few select items where no one will bother to look.

I have several things I'm happy I have:

1. A music box my grandparents received as a 50th wedding anniversary present almost 40 years ago.

2. A lucky horseshoe that my grandfather had nailed over the door of the house my mother was born in - it's all rusted now but I still have it.

3. My mother's Mothers Ring - I had my boys birthstones added to it

4. Silver Dollars (in bank safety deposit box) that my grandfather used to give us for Christmas and birthdays each year - my mom always took them from us and gave us a dollar bill.....we didn't know until we were older that she was saving these for us Although I can have them now - I've told my mom to keep them. It's in her will that they are in the box and she has them seperated in bags with each of our names on it. All I'm going to do is turn around, divide them between my boys, and put them back in the safety deposit box.

5. And last, but not least in importance, complete family tree history on my mom's mom side of the family and partial family tree history for her dad's family. It is very interesting to find out where my ancestors were from.

I guess you can tell from my posts that I'm extremely family oriented when it comes to preserving history and things. I've always been like that. Hubby calls me a "pack rat" - I call it saving things for my kids or grandkids

Here's the link to the shirts:

I believe they are all sold out there their official website here, but I know there are other oline stores that sell them.

They are SUPER soft, silky material that you can dry in the dryer and they don't shrink. I swear I have worn my black one 4 days this week.

They look like they would be really comfy!

They are made out of the BEST material! It is so soft and silky. I pair the black shirt with cute skirt or pants and wear it to work and church. Very comfy and stylish.
