I got off my tuff and did some cabbing. I haven't been much in the mode to play with my rocks for some time now. After everything my hubby & I have been through (and still wading through), I figured I can't do anything about it, so I might as well cab. It really helped keep my mind busy instead of constantly trying to figure out what to do next. I picked out some slabs and Hubby helped me trim them, then I went to work on my flatlap. After losing all the nails on my right hand and my fingerprint on the pointy finger, I decided to try Stoner's thing of super glue on a nail. Man was that so much easier! Thanks Ed!! Anyhow, I hope you like them, I think my next project will be to wrap a few.

The whole batch

African Queen Jasper

Wavey Jade I think got it on Ebay

Randy Jasper I wish I knew, I sure like it.

Mozark ? There's been alot of this on the forum lately.

Ocean Jasper One of my favorites

My Favorite of all Silver Lace Onyx

The photos don't give justice to these guys shine. All of them are very shiny. Thanks for looking and if anyone knows the correct names, please feel free to let us know!!

Thanks for everyone here. You have helped keep me sain during these last 3 months (or longer).

I did one of the top middle my self today, it doesn't look that nice though, I don't know what it is. Robert gave me a slab and I am sure he told me, but just can't remember. Mark

Thanks for all your kind words. I'm going to start wrapping them soon. Hey Jonje, how about sharing some of that mojo you got. Just put some in a flat rater and send it over. LOL Actually, school starts tomorrow so I will have plenty of quiet time, Thank Goodness!

Again, Thanks for looking at my cabs.
