I am excited to find out about this forum! I know what I will be doing at night when I can't sleep now....lol! I have loved rocks since I can remember. My first memory of rocks is going on a family vacation in the Northwest and going to Agate Beach. My sand bucket got filled with agates instead of sand. I was hooked! I started making jewelry as a teen and one of my first jobs was in a rock shop in the Dallas area. Somewhere along the way I got into going on digs and collecting and now I am more into the lapidary end of the hobby. I still make jewelry, but I no longer buy my cabs (unless I see one that I just can't help myself...)! It is much more gratifying to work a piece completely from start to finish! Anyway, I am looking forward to getting to know you guys and I thank you for allowing me to be part of this forum! I think it is wonderful!!!!
