I'm in the same boat as Diane. I haven't wrapped for a year either. I have to go to California to clean out my husband's mom's house next week. I will get the wrap done as soon as I can.

I agree with all of the above kudos! My first impression was that the choice of style of wrap, as well as the beads was perfectly in line with both complimenting the cabochon and creating a flow. What a great result!

I also like the black beads, they compliment and add to the setting. 👍

I just got the box the other day. I have some issues I'm dealing with right now. It may be a few days before I get around to it.

I'm one of the issues right now. Friggin' gallstones announced themselves in a big way. Probably surgery real soon to remove it.

As we've seen, this roaming wire has been really slow. I'm sure we can all relate to health issues being consuming. Take your time and if you can't, you can't.

I hope you do well with the gallstones and possible surgery, Vince!

hummingbirdstones2 hummingbirdstones - Well hells bells! Sorry to hear about this Vince! Two years ago I went through what you're going through! It was a huge pain in the...well...gut! My doc told me I didn't "have" to have my gal bladder removed...but it was going to keep giving me fits if I didn't, and just had the stones removed. I chose to have my gal bladder removed. I kept hearing having it removed was going to change all kinds of things as far as diet...but I don't think there's been anything that's altered...it's as crappy as ever! LOL

I hope yours is an easy fix!! Good thoughts and prayers headed your way my friends!

Thanks, Jason!

Tomorrow morning Vince has a Dr's appt and we'll find out whether or not it comes out. Pretty sure it will. He has one that is up to 2.3 cm! You know what they say: Go big or go home.

Sorry to hear about this Vince. Sending prayers and healing vibes. I don't know if going big was a good idea in this case but at least the doctors won't have to hunt around to find it.

UPDATE: Hummingbirdstones will be sending the cabs to me shortly and sending a wrap later. I'm *entirely* okay with this--she's an incredible trooper for even thinking about doing a wrap in the next few days and has more important things to attend to. So--Roaming Wire is officially completed, except that I ask that she post a photo of AmyK's wrap when she can, but it can be a week or three. I'll post all remaining cabs when I receive them.
