When I was thinner, I had one I wore all. the. time. myself.

She wasn't 16 yet, had never been to school and I knew lots of her classmates on campus would be wearing them. I figured I had been such a big part of her education that it was a perfect fit to give her a class ring that represented where I'd learned whatever she was getting at home. <br /><br />Btw she is still wearing it as a university junior, and a couple of months ago when it was time to get the college ring, she decided she'd rather have a garnet bracelet I inherited, because her school colors are garnet and gold and it will be unique, just like she is. And her dad likes the FREE part . . . ;-)JJ Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03493570025415687789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-84293894139976945072010-01-18T23:38:21.572-06:002010-01-18T23:38:21.572-06:00You know Walmart sells class rings for around $80,...You know Walmart sells class rings for around $80, right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-11547612565468394012010-01-16T22:15:45.076-06:002010-01-16T22:15:45.076-06:00LOL Ganeida, I've seen that!

Ruins a perfectly good uniform, and they'll never look at it again, but I guess it's cheaper.<br /><br />Here they also print up "yearbooks" for your friends to sign. It's like a hardback coffee table novel with glossy pics of all your friends. More money. :)<br /><br />Bonnie, I think so, too! He truly doesn't have much in the way of extra "trappings" and comforts. He got two new pairs of jeans this year... otherwise pretty much everything is thrift store. Poor guy; I wouldn't have put up with it at his age.Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-67425529757720890212010-01-16T22:07:21.693-06:002010-01-16T22:07:21.693-06:00I think that's really nice of D and I'm gl...I think that's really nice of D and I'm glad Patrick will have a ring.

The real bright sparks then jump in the ocean & the ink runs but I think it's cheaper than a class ring. Wow!Ganeidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176246964466185315noreply@blogger.com
