[Skippy123]

Mara has been a member since 2002; she is an integral part of Pricescope! I think may of us who found Pricescope have read so many of her important threads teaching us about color and Size! She is an Incredible person and I know many of us want to see 30k more posts from Mara! Cheers to you Mara!!! Congratulations!!! Here is to many more fabulous years on PS!!!

Woo, 30k! I know for me personally, Mara has always posted thoughtfully and helpfully, and I always enjoy her posts. Here's to 30k more!

Congratulations Mara! It's been great fun watching you evolve in so many ways -- queen blingerator, fiancee, wife, mom. What I appreciate about you most is the way you master a subject -- be it bling, handbags, marketing, or motherhood -- you do your research and you are thorough. I felt perfectly safe purchasing almost anything you recommended here because of that thoroughness and most of all because of your integrity. I miss your daily presence here.

I cannot believe it; seems like SOOOOOOOOOOO long ago we first were here, my friend! We're coming onto TEN YEARS on Pricescope this coming fall - hard to believe! You've contributed just so much here, and Pricescope is richer for having you here.

More than anything, you've been an amazing friend, and I"m so blessed!

Looking forward to the next 30K posts! HUGE hugs to ya!

Mara,
I wish I had written a poem, perhaps I will add one later...

You are PS. You spent a ton of time teaching us all. I learned a great deal from you about diamonds and about life.
I admire you. And am so glad to have you as my friend.

You have touched many, and your posts here always to the point and spot on...

Cheers my dear. Here is to 30,000 more posts!!!

Should I send an orange tree?? J would love to have another one, I figure you would take that over a cake?? LOL....


xoxo Lisa

Congrats to a lovely young woman and mother. If you don't know who Mara is, then you don't "know" pricescope!!

and plus one, to Matata's post.

Oh and thanks to our Alj, Mara is a color Queen!!! Never ever did I think that would happen... I think she has more colored stones than me???

Now if we can only get her to embrace yellow gold. Right Alj??

I agree with this completely!!! She has given me awesome advice w/my babies; she is a fantastic momma! She is spot on, in shopping, research and she has a big heart!! I had the pleasure of getting to know her in the Workout thread and now through mommyhood! She is an awesome lady!

WOW, what a marker! I am sure you are an expert by now.

 

[aljdewey]

Um, Lisa.....you could make strides to catching up with her colored stones, yanno. That screaming blue zircon cushion is STILL available at Prima - laid my eyes on it lovingly last week!

And yeah - the YG thing will come around. I've been working that one for a while now. I'm relentless, so I'm sure she'll have to bend to my will eventually!

How about a silly ditty?

She owned a huge J/SI1,
And used to enable for fun,
Bbags and loose pants,
Checkbooks stood no chance,
Thank god her time’s full with her son!


Love ya Mara...here's to many more posts, enabling or not!

Hey there Mara.......A good friend sent me a link of this momentous occassion. CONGRATULATIONS! I miss you and hope you are all doing well. The last pictures I saw of you, Greg and child were terrific.

Congrats again.......your old friend Rod

 

[Mara]

Haha thanks sweet Skippy and Alj for alerting me to this post..! October 2012 will mark TEN YEARS since I found Pricescope, so funny to think about all the time that's passed!

I was just telling someone today the story of buying diamonds BEFORE Pricescope and what chaos it was. Learned a little and became so incredibly anal about numbers, statistics, pictures, hearts, arrows, appraisals, etc. And now coming kind of full circle back to the love of the antique stones/settings that I was looking at 10 years ago when I found PS to begin with.

Thank you for the sweet words from everyone... I've met some absolutely fantastic people on here and my life has been changed forever.

Mara
Congrats on 30K posts

Your tenacity and teaching us will be what I remember the most.

Who knew you would have such joy with that little boy....

He's your heart

Something you shared with us, thus we were a part

Of a wonderful journey and yet many of us were with you from the start....



G should be very proud of you, and again congrats on this HUGE Milestone.

Love ya... xo

FYI...10k out of her 30k posts came from fighting with me, so i'd take some credits... congrats !
