We had the unexpected pleasure of meeting up with Ralph and Maryann, Stones That Rock on Thursday night in PA!!! It was short but sweet, but always fun to hook up with our rock buddies! Tony took some tips from Maryann and borrowed her handcuffs and got me chained to the basement this weekend,we finished 40 cabs! The disaster ending when Tony flicked a bunch on the tile floor and broke the 2 victoria stone cabs, Ughghg!! So anyways here is Ralph and Maryann and some of my cabs, I got a new photographer, Tony, so now if the pictures are crap we can yell at him!!!!! I'm tired and the Eagles are playing so my blood pressure will be rising!!! We might do a show next week, I have to decide if I have it in me, I hate shows!!!!!! LOL Amber Dino bone Dino Bone Turquoise Rutilated Quartz, the rutile is copper colored really cool Crazy Lace Ocean Jasper Laguna Desert Rose Agua Nueva Amythest Emerald in Matrix Fire Agate Local Moonstone Dippy Egg Agate? It reminded me of a broken dippy egg Rainbow Corundom These were Ralph rejects I salvaged Crysacolla Azurite Sodalite dont knowite Mookite DOnt knowite

Such beautiful cabs Amber! So excited to hear that you guys got a visit with Ralph and MaryAnn! Also KUDOS to Tony taking on the responsibility of numero uno photographer!!! Why can't I get Patrick to do that for me?!?!?!?!
All he is interested in is cutting rocks in half to see what's inside.........

Thanks guys! It is nice working together again, we got a lot done, we organized, someone made the shop a mess!!! LOL But it was fun to pull out things I had not looked at for some time. We can really knock them out together! Poor Tony he made these 2 beautiful Victoria Stone cabs, and he dropped them! OMG!! And a beautiful piece of larimar but that was OK! There is a local show next week if it is not too cold maybe we will set up, but most likely attend!!! It is fun, he knows I can loose interest at any minute, so I htink he is enjoying it while he can!

The photos are definitely better than the dishrag photos you usually post but I'm not happy with the two blurry ones. New camera seems to do a good job, its me that didn't. lol It sure is fun working together.
