I received today my Christmas exchange gift. My Secret Santa was Paul - Rockrookie. And I can tell you by now he was a GREAT Santa! Adrian went to the post office and picked it for me. He told me it was HEAVY! This is the box, still not opened. Sissi is smelling something... No wander Adrian complained about the weight of the box, this was all the light filler in the box, the rest of it were rocks and yummy food! Our couch was overloaded with rocks and goodies, here is the whole content: Overwhelming, huh? The gemmy area - Paul makes some gorgeous cabochons, I like them all including the big Polish flint, although Adrian's hope was to take it for himself ;D : Other cabs, some of them faceted: A BEAUTIFUL Labradorite: A lot of tumbled stones, all of the colors and shapes are there: The slabs, so many and so beautiful! Those Lakers look like candies: But there were some real candies, too - chocolate candies for me and also beef jerky - one of Adrian's favorite foods when we were visiting USA. The pictures give you an idea of how many and how beautiful rocks I received, but cannot catch my joy when I admired all these gifts. Thank you very much Paul, you were an incredible generous Santa!

Wonderful package!!!! Paul was indeed a generous Santa. I snuck in the little "beef jerky" hint, I hope no one minded. I know Adrian wont! LOL Shan

Thank you Paul, you were a great Santa not only for Ina, but also for me. You were right on target not only with the beef jerky (thank you "Wee Grinch" Shannon for sneaking that info) but also with the mint flavored chocolate. Let alone the beautiful rocks.

Ina, what a great box of Christmas cheer and so thoughtful (via Shannon's suggestion) to include Jerky for Adrian. Oh, the spirit of Christmas was definitely packed in that box!
