First Sheri gives me cabs and awesome rocks, then Steve loads me up with some awesome stuff and then.... I was talking to Randy and Amber about not having a lot of cabs left to wrap and they both said they'd send me some they had. When I got home the other night I got my mail and there were two packages, one from Randy, one from Amber. I was so super excited I could hardly wait to get them home and opened. Randy's package: the cabs (his note said they were some old junk he had laying around - geez Randy if this is junk then I'm the queen of the world...lol. Next I opened Amber's package: (I don't think she has a tissue left in her house...lol) Amber said these were some of Ralph's rejects but they are far from rejects in my book. So thank you Ralph for giving Amber your rejects so she could share some with me. In short I'm a very happy rockhound and it's Christmas in March for me....yippeee! ;D Thank you both so much. You are super cool for feeding my wire wrapping addiction. Now I just have to get more wire and get to wrapping. Diane

They sure were lonly laying in that PO Box for a month, so do something pretty with them!!!! Can't wait to see your designs, and yes Ralph's rejects are special, I just gave some of these a little shine but they were basically ready to go! Have fun Amber

Randy, I ordered 32 feet each of 22g dead soft argentium silver square and 1/2 round. That was the minimum order on the 1/2 round so I figured I'd better get as much square. Only problem is that I know I use up more square than 1/2 round but didn't want to order that much at one time. It's not cheap ya know ;-) I got it spooled but thought about getting it coiled. Which do you guys buy?
I will definitely let you know when I run out of cabs ;-) might get some more "old junk" LOL

Beautiful Cabs Amber and Randy! I can see you both sent some of Diane's favorite shapes to wrap...concave curves! ;D She told me she wished all cabs had those inside curves in them...as much as she enjoys wrapping them.. ;D ;D Get busy Diane, and when you run out of cabs...I guess it's a sign for you to buy some equipment.

Steve Gee thanks, Steve, you gave away my secret...lol. Not sure I'd know where to put equipment or even know how to use it. Never done a cab in my life. You all make it look so easy but I know better, looks can be deceiving. To those who don't know, I haven't ever wrapped one with concave curves as you can tell by my pictures in my posts but they are a bit daunting to me as I don't know how to get the wire curved to fit the shape. I now have lots of cabs to practice that technique though..;-) I will post pictures once I get back to wrapping. Thanks again you guys. Diane
