I'm so in love with these. There's been several that I've thought about and wondered if I'm not using the tank right now, will it fit on my finger instead? Looks adjustable.

They are all adjustable. I can make the danglies so that it is on a lobster claw. That way you can wear it as a ring or a tank wrap :) It is actually where I got the idea from.

Ok - so here is the cowboy hat and wings that I have.

And just a side note. On the tree - I can wire birthstones onto it - that way it won't look like a Christmas Tree :)

That would be great too, maybe with his birthstone (I know it's yellow but not sure what the actual name is, for November). I really like the idea of his birthstone hanging just under the tree!

Idk why I just thought about this, but were you talking about for my kids (the birthstones)? lol Sorry, I'm running really slow today! If you are talking about for my kiddos then that would be very cool too, it would be a tribute to my friend and my kids. I like the idea of them hanging just under the tree (like dangling from the charm). For just the kids it would be Ruby, Garnet and Aquamarine.

I think I've finally figured out a 'theme' I'd like to go with. One year and 4 days ago one of my best friends passed away, it was sudden and unexpected, I had seen him a week prior and he was fine. It's been the hardest loss I've dealt with, I've known him since 6th grade. He was 29 years old, he would have turned 30 on Nov. of last year. We were talking on the phone a lot leading up to his passing about our 30th bdays (his, mine and our other good friend (my only other BEST friend) and I really felt stuck in this loop for a long time, I felt so guilty that I turned 30 and he didn't.

I think if I could get a very simple silver (or gold if possible) wrap with the number 29, angel wings and a cowboy hat, I would really feel like I was honoring him, and keeping him close. I don't know if those charms would be hard to find or not, but even if you could make it so that I can add the charms myself if needed, that would be ok too. It a good reminder that life is so short and can be taken in, LITERALLY, a blink of an eye.

It's not all that often that a post will bring me to tears, but MrsP, yours sure did. Thank you for sharing this and giving us a glimpse of the love you two shared. That, dear one, was beautiful.


lol, yea they are very pretty! I could see it as a ring, people wear those big 'long as you finger' ones all the time lol.

I believe I mentioned to catcat that I saw some similar ones just recently! They WERE created as finger rings, and the artist/vendor said it was for... (teehee) "fat fingered women"!!! :lol:



You did not!!!!!!!!!! OMG, we ARE sisters. I just had my nails done in a gorgeous dark green with the glitter at the bottom of the nails! catcat, I wub ya!

Jacqui it is BEAUTIFUL! Like, I have tears in my eyes, beautiful! I wrote on his FB wall earlier that I was having something made in his honor, he would LOVE this! You have no idea how much this means to me. I'm not sure I could ever truly explain how much Brad meant to me, but I would love to have this with me at all times to try and honor him the best way I know how. He would be so thrilled knowing I quit smoking (he LOVED getting onto me for all my bad/unhealthy habits!).

Katdarling, I surely wasn't trying to make anyone cry! I love talking about him, he was the kind of person that always knew what to say, he was always positive and SO kind, he was the kind of person EVERYONE immediately loved and he never knew a stranger. He would call you out on your .... in no time, but in the kindest way possible. I WISH I was half the person he was, touch a quarter of the lives he touched, he was the closest thing to perfect I've ever had the honor of knowing. I truly wish everyone has a Brad in their life, it's been the hardest thing I've been through.

He had type 1 diabetes, he didn't tell anyone he lost his job, therefore his insurance and no one knew he wasn't getting his insulin. I was SO mad at him for the longest time b/c if he would have just said something, any one of us (his friends) would have helped, but he never wanted to burden anyone with his troubles. He leaves a son behind and that breaks my heart, that his son won't know the AMAZING person his father was.

I am so touched that you like this :) Again, I am glad you let me have a part in your memories :) Everyone needs an angel in their life.

Sweetie, my tears are because I am INCREDIBLY touched by what you said before, and now even more so... I have a person in my life now that reflects ALL those Brad characteristics. The thought of losing him is INTOLERABLE. My tears are a mixed bag. I feel your emotion so strongly (one of my "curses".... my empathy/ability to 'read'), and your words are like a soft kaleidoscope of your life with him... what he meant to you... the depth of your caring. It's touching beyond words. Let me have my tears? Please? They're good, and they're appropriate. You're a true sweetheart. I'm sooooo glad you had time with him and that he's with you to this day.

Wow - that matched up wonderfully :)

And I just want you (all) to know that I am NOT the world's greatest photographer. :lol:

Jacqui, your work is SO much more beautiful in person. Stunning. Artistic. I can see the love in the detail.

I think I have that 'curse' too! It sucks sometimes! The ability to almost feel what someone else is feeling, it's like a knife in the heart when I hear of any kind of tragedy. But thank you and I am so glad you have a Brad in your life, everyone should. It's amazing to love and be loved in that way. As much as I miss him (and Lord knows it's a lot), I wouldn't trade a moment b/c having him at all, though it didn't feel like it was long enough, was the greatest gift.
