It started a couple of weeks ago when clear out of the blue Woodyrock offered to send me an FRB of Geode full of crystals. Wow, I could not believe such generosity. Jokingly he said if I did not give him my addy soon, he would send them to Titania. This got me thinking. Titania had offered to help me cab the leaves for Adrian's contest, so I waited until yesterday when I arrived at Titania's to open and share the box with her. These are some of the highlights of the box and the day. The box was so jammed full it was literally busting out at the seams. Nicole did the honor of opening the box Pet Wood. The first pic you could acutally see the rings. And the CRYSTALS, All kinds of CRYSTALS and carnelian DRUSIES ;D Woody also included 2 beautiful Fire Agates. We found them in the bottom of the box. After we looked at all the wonderful rocks that were in the box, we started cabbing. I had asked Nicole to cab the first one as I watched. Then it was my turn. I brought 11 preforms with me but I only did two. I had forgotten how much time one cab takes especially for a newbie. The first one on the left is the one Nicole cabbed. Thank you Woody and Nicole for such a wonderful and fun Saturday! Lori

You really had a blast! Do those greenish cabs look to me like some leaves? Adrian

We definitely had a fun day, and Lori did a great job on her leaves! I finished up the other preforms that Lori brought with her last night...she did a great job picking material. I think you'll be very pleased, Adrian! And a VERY special thanks to Woody for sending along such a great box of goodies! We were ooo-ing and ahh-ing for ages!

Oh how cool! Just too awesome! Maybe I missed it, but what material did you use for the leaves?

Jo, I used Apple Jade from chassroc, chrysocola from Jamie, Blood stone, and your green Moon Stone. But your Moon Stone decided to take flight while I was shaping it into a preform on the WF in the snow. Those leaves are so small that I could not find it. I'll find it if this snow ever melts.
Both Woody and Nicole are amazing people with huge hearts. Nicole, there you go the difference between new and master. 4hrs = 2 leaves 2hrs=9 leaves ;D
