Many of the Participants in the Sort-of-Secret Christmas Gift Exchange have already received their respective gifts. Steve and I thought it would be great fun if photos were posted here so we can all enjoy the neat “stuff” that has been shared in the Gift Exchange. Just post your photos and/or comments in this thread! Merry Christmas to All and to All… Enjoy those rocks!!!! ;D ;D Steve Holmes (AKA: ELF #1) and Lady B (AKA: ELF #2)

Now I'm not making any accusations, per se...but I've noticed that Parfive only "drew" a picture of his "unopened" box. I can't help but wonder... ;D

My "Santa" was Cal, aka redwoodrocks. Get out your drool mops, everyone! ;D Well, Santa heard that I wanted some slabs. So he sent some... Blue quartz (Brazil), bloodstone (Africa), vogesite (Africa), red brecciated jasper, yowsa wowsa (I mean quantum quattro)(Africa). And some more... Misty Mountain (Madagascar), ?, tiger eye (Africa), Morgan Hill poppy jasper, swirlstone (Africa). And how wonderful he labeled them! So if you see a label on something, I can tell you what it is! Well, I just did. If I spritz these many more times to see the pretty colors, the ink is going to run right off the labels! My spray bottle broke so I was using a water pistol for these. ;D And he sent some grits and polishes and some chunks and some small slabs and some preforms... Did you say you wanted to see some of that a little closer? Here, take a look at these again (yes, I rearranged them). See the rutilated quartz? Aren't they all stunning?! And look what he sent for my little girl.... What that last picture also means is that I've figured out where the macro setting is on my camera! Hooray! Hope y'all also enjoyed the pictures of green grass. It's going to be in the 80's today, unseasonable warm. Maybe I'll get out my saw and trim off a few pieces... ;D Ooops, sorry, is there ice and snow where you are? Silly me, I forget it's winter ;D. Please don't hate me just because I live in Texas! **Note (added later) I do not mean to make light of the severity of some of the storms out there. I was not aware of how bad some of the weather has been. I hope everyone is safe and warm. ** (Goodness, Lady B, you're wearing off on me!) Thanks again, Santa Cal, for a wonderful (and early!) Christmas!

Now I'm not making any accusations, per se...but I've noticed that Parfive only "drew" a picture of his "unopened" box. I can't help but wonder... ;D Oh Shannon! You're not thinking that Rich was naughty and opened his box already, are you? He would never do that!!!! I think he had to draw the picture because his camera is on the fritz!!! And Amy, you must have been very, very good because those rocks, slabs, preforms and that pendant are very, very nice!!!! ;D [glow=red,2,300]~*~!~*~[/glow] Now I have something special for all of the Participants who have notified me that they have sent their gifts merrily on their way. Here is a picture of your Official "Snow Flake" Badge. You can print the photo, cut it out, and wear it proudly where ever you go!!! ;D Merry Christmas Everybody! Lady B--Elf 33527

Hehe . . . you've got a devious mind, OWA. Now I gotta stop on the way home from work and buy some packing tape, and some crazy glue to put the rocks back together right quick.
Oh wait . . . cancel the glue . . . ya can't see in the box anyway. ;D ;D

Wow Amy that is a nice package or rocks. I've been on the receiving end of rocks from Cal so I know how nice they are. Looks like you need to start making some cabs there.

Hey Harry!!! It arrived! I'm so glad! ;D
But, you know, you have NO restrictions to open it 'till Christmass! You must be a strong guy, if you've set this rule for yourself. I can't wait to se if you enjoy what's inside.
