I did something off my wish list today.. start a hope chest.. ✓

Yes, it arrived in the mail today. Danny put it together and it looks beautiful. I already have a bunch of stuff to put in it but I wanted to know what other people put in their hope chest. There were a few people that did it my way but a lot of people put kitchen things in their's. I find that kind of odd but what ever makes them happy. 

In mine I put: 
My afghan's that people have made me.
Cards I have been given.
My diploma
Pictures
A few of my favorite books.
Dried flowers.
Scrapbooks
Letters to Danny.
Private things.
Valuable things.
A doll Pat&Doug gave me when I was little.
A piggy bank my Grandma gave me.
A watch my Grandma Great gave me.
My coin collection my dad gave me.
My promise ring.
Etc..
