RAVEN'S CALLING Winner beads arrived! (Pic heavy)

Today was like a very early Christmas and I'm still speechless, teary-eyed and totally overwhelmed! Trolldog gave away not one, but three beads each to the two winners and one of them was me !
Originally it was a sapphire, a ruby and a surprise bead (which later was revealed as a moonstone), but since Trolldog knew, I already have the TB sapphire, she asked me whether I'd like an emerald instead ? What a question, I absolutely LOVE green , so I gladly took up the offer!

First there was this cute box wrapped with Trolldog's paw ribbon:


And here are the three treasures:



Here's the whole combo, the gemstones are perfect for a Christmas theme and the friendship bead is for you, Trolldog :


All three beads are gorgeous, but my fav is the ruby. The poor light this evening doesn't do the beads justice (I promise daylight pics at the weekend), but even in poor lamplight look at this fab cherry colour!


Thanks again to one of the most generous Trolls! I love your gifts !

So now we have Loopylou's Christmas challenge going on, but I promise to host the next challenge, just have to come up with a theme and a nice price !

MMP, that was a very nice challenge, I remember it well, and I remember your bracelet too,
