Mara On My Mind...

[sanfranciscoellen]

Am I the only one who is really really excited to hear about Mara''s trip?

 

[belle]

lol....
love the title

i''m looking forward to hearing all about that new diamond!

 

[mrssalvo]

hehe, me too. I''m sure she''s she''s snapping away with her new camera and will have an update for us soon.

 

[Sundial]

No you are not the only one. Isn''t it great that we can all live vicariously through Mara''s adventures in diamond upgrades??? Looking forward to those pictures!

 

[sanfranciscoellen]

What are the chances that she comes back already having met her next newest new upgrade?

 

[KristyDarling]

Wallermama - I''d say it''s a possibility! But hard to say since Mara will have to decide on the spot whether she likes the head or not. And who knows if it will really take only the "few days" that Mara said WF said it''d take!

I''m excited too! I keep checking the boards to see if she has posted or not. I thought for sure she would''ve posted a report last night!

Woops! Just read your post more carefully.

I''d say chances are VERY GOOD that she''ll have met her next upgrade on this trip!

Ya, I was for sure expecting one last night too!

Hope you''re having fun Mara!

 

[divergrrl]

I can''t wait to hear from Mara either...I check DAILY to see if there are any new developments! I hope the head & the stone are to her liking, she''s been so patient!


I live vicariously through her upgrades...such a sweet husband she has for understanding diamond shrinkage! I need him to talk to mine!

I haven''t been able to be around much the past couple of days, but I do check in when I can to see if Mara and Aldjewey have posted anything !

I can''t wait for news reports!

 

[dh97]

No no, you aren''t the only one. Can''t wait a report and lots of pics from Mara.

 

[Kaleigh]

I told her we need an update. Hopefully tonight she''ll log on for a bit?? I can''t wait to hear all about it.

 

[fire&ice]

My guess is that all ten fingers and ten toes will be up, Up, UP!

 

[Kaleigh]

Let''s not forget about Aljdewey, she''s there too. Wonder if she''ll come home with a sparkley??

 

[decodelighted]

They''re both expert suspense-builders! Gonna be some P-scopers all lathered-up and frantic by the time we get a BLING-update!!

[Kaleigh]

I just heard from Mara. They are having a blast. She tried on a 5 carat!!! Her stone and setting are being worked on. She said she''ll check out this thread when she gets a sec.

 

[mrssalvo]

thanks for the update Kaleigh.

 

[bookworm21]

I''m also excited. I hope she checks this thread VERY soon and updates us with pics too.

I''ll just go down there (WF) and yank her up and make her post, but that''s only after she shows me the new stone!!

 

[indecisive]

I can''t wait!!!

I love living vicariously through her too! It''s much easier on my husband''s wallet, lol!

 

[Mara]

Mara checking in here!! It cracked me up when I saw the title of this post and all the hungry PS gals ready for some eye-candy. I thought of you guys numerous times this trip!!

Anyway, we head back tomorrow afternoon after a fabulous brunch at a supposedly amazing place in Houston. The time here has been awesome, it's so great to see everyone again and see the new facilities at WF and the new baubles in the vault...especially that big ole 5c. Trust me that is sooo a future upgrade!!!

So, it's late and I just wanted to post two pictures for you gals til we get home and can post a BARRAGE of photos because we took probably about 500 or so between us two. Insane I know. We love it!!

Here is a shot that WF's photo guy (who is AWESOME by the way!) Mark got with my own Canon after I was having problems focusing in on the rings. I love this shot!! This is my new 2.32 J SI1 in my setting!

I met Mara and Aljdewey for happy hour today and I can''t wait for Mara to post the pics. I was so tempted to run out the door and jump in the car with Mara''s new upgrade on my hand. Oh and I love Al''s 3 stone ring. She also got a new pendant to go with the halo one she has, we took so many pics of her neck, I think people people thought we were photographing her cleavage.

 

[Mara]

And tonite we met up for drinks with some of the Houston gals, we totally missed HouMedGal (who was sick) and Ginger (who is getting married tomorrow) but LizzieC and Appletini met up with us (along with some of the fab WF crew) which was tons of fun. Peach bellinis YUM!

So of course we had to take some pictures, this one is all the rings on Apple's fabulously long and lean fingers...from top down it's LizzieC's asscher halo; my e-ring with the new stone; Aljdewey's 3 stone ring and wedding band; and then Apple's halo ring. This picture is just awesome with all the fire that the rings are catching, the fun part is how they are all so different and yet sparkle SO beautiful just the same!!!

 

[Mara]

How funny Apple, great minds! I just posted the picture of all the rings on your hand...so yummy. It was so much fun to meet you and Lizzie and hang out!!

Now....must....get....sleep.

This new rock is tiring me out from carrying it around. HAH, as if!

 

[appletini]

I had to laugh Mara walked up and said which one are you, I pointed to my drink (which was an appletini) and she was like OMG you''re appletini. Also I love her toerings!

 

[diamondfan]

sounds like you guys had a blast! I have been lucky enough to meet Kaleigh in person and really hope to meet Lorelei who is also my pal. That finger picture is amazing! Good thing she has LONG fingers for all that bling. Everyone''s ring is so great. Funny how even when you love your ring, your eyes can still seek out gorgeous baubles on others!

 

[appletini]

I was just glad that they had large finger like mine so their rings would fit on my hand.
