Well tomorrow is a special day, 1 year since joining RTH!!!! And what a great year it has been!!!!!!!!!! I don't know how it can get any better but I bet it will! I have been blessed with the opportunity to meet over 25 members in person this year, in PA, VA, AZ, FL, CA, UT, etc! Meeting Adrian was defiantly a highlight until we can convince him to come back! Stoner often reminds me how I didn't know a thing about rocks when I picked upsome rocks for Tony, while passing thru San Jose!!!! Everything I have learned this past year has been thru YOU, our talented members who have shared all their experiences!!! I love RTH and all the people I have met and hope to meet! You couldn't know a better group of peeps!!!!I have made some very dear friends on this board and you know how special you are to me! :-*Most importantly my honey, Tony, who has taught me everything he knows, and is still my Cab Master! LOL So I hope I have improved somewhat over the year, LOL. At least I am not posting glaring scratches anymore, you have all been incredibly kind, posting nice words, on really shitty cabs, LOL! Some cabs rock, others thud, but as long as we are still having fun! So here are some cabs! Spiderweb Obsidian! Who has kicked the cabs up more than HPD this year??? This is for his contest, but the photo can be better so I will wait to post it there! The next 2 are some material from the Bay of Fundy that Darryl sent: These next 2 were from a slab that Stoneviews, Clint gave us in AZ, I don't know what it is, sort of soft but really pretty. This was from Ralph and Maryann, some sort of agate, very cool, the bands don't show up too well in the photo. A green piece I got at a show, no clue? Laguna Lace from Stones that Rock!!! Mariposite A laguna for Holmesy :)This one I made months ago and even I was horrified at the number of scratches in it, LOL< so I shined it up and fixed it! LOL Ok gotta go work on photos of that obsidian! Thanks again friends for a great first year!!!!! Love and hugs!!! Amber

Your a Sweetie Amber! We've been the lucky ones to have you jump on board this group of Crazy Rockhounds. ;D Your Cabbing skills have grown in leaps and bounds!!!! Tony really must be teaching you the Master Skills. I really LOVE that 1st one. That is really super cool and super shiny! It even looks like Spirits rising in the Sky. Verey nice assortment of Shapes and Materials. My favorite has to be the one for that Holmesy guy. He must have good taste or really like Agates alot. ;D Thanks Amber Steve

Amber, looking at your posts number I thought there's more than a year since you're on the board ;D
Just kidding, this year since you joined here was so great and this is also because your presence here.
Great cabs you posted, that spider web obsidian is a masterpiece! But the most important thing you made here on the board is hard to catch in a picture and post. Your gesture of donating the prize is epic and memorable and here are again my congratulations for your gesture which set another standard for generosity.
I am so glad I was able to meet you and Tony and the others in Moab! Meeting all of you, friends, turned a vacation that would had been special anyway into a really unique one.
I wish you manny happy returns here on RTH!
Adrian

You have come a long way since that first cab you ground in my basement last fall. I rarely take credit for anything I do but I will take some for having the wisdom to bring you here. You certainly liven the place up and are well loved, and for good reason. You did a great job on these cabs sweetie.
