Dede, that's beautiful. My husband had a similar necklace from Uberkate made for me for our wedding anniversary, the rings on mine are interlocking and have each of the kids names and birthdates and our initials and wedding date. I've received so many comments and have been asked for the name of the maker more times that I can remember. I even had someone stop me on the escaltor at Macy's New York to ask about it, once they then hear the significance they are even more interested. I love that yours has the tree.

Thanks :)
I have another one with all the kids names on it but not mine and DH. When I seen this one and that it could fit all our names I wanted it. And I like the idea of the family tree pendant with it.

Dede, the necklace is gorgeous.  I bought a rug for the lounge room to cosy it up a bit for winter.

Dede - that is gorgeous. I have an Uberkate trio with my children's names that DH had made for my 40th but I have to get it rhodium plated as it doesn't agree with my skin.

I have just had an overwhelming desire for apple sauce . To solve this I have just ordered an apple peeler/corer/slicer from Amazon.

Well DD I hope you don't want your apple sauce right now :)
My mum has one of these, they are great.

An apple peeler and corer is something I would love but not buy. Must pass the message on for Mothers' Day.

I would like some new canisters for Mothers Day (I have had mine for 14 years) but I wouldn't like DH to pick them out for me. Maybe I will ask for money so I can pick out my own ;D

I brought a fridge today, we have had our old one for 16 years and we have just moved house with a plumbed fridge recess.  Thought it was a perfect time to update to a french door fridge with ice and water dipensers.  I nearly cried though at the cost lol.
