Santa came a little early here and left me the cutest little honey bunny in my mailbox and chocolate too...yummmmm! Karin, it really was my pleasure to help you out with GCF, with no fees due. I thank you for your kindness miss.

All coin orders have been mailed. We still have some satin/glitter and satin/ pearl coins available. Also, The Amigos and Carbon Hunter, please send me your addresses so I can mail you out your winnings.

Jackalgirl, I think that the reason some people are having difficulty 'seeing' the face of the tiger is because the eyes are grayed out, not black like you would think they should be. With them being gray its hard to make them out in the face or even figure out where the face really is. At first I wanted to vote for the first picture because I couldn't really see the tiger's face in the second picture. I have to tell you, when I buy a coin it is for the sheer beauty of the coin, I don't want to have to 'search' the coin to figure out what it is. I just want to see the beauty of it. So I think that if the eyes were dark you could see them better as well as the face of the tiger and you might have more people voting for this tiger instead of the first one which I think is just too simple for this coin. One last thing, if you choose picture two, will the black lines be the raised or recessed areas on the coin?

Very nice looking coin.

Well we wrote down all of the entered post numbers on a piece of paper and put them in a hat. When I pulled them out of the hat I got a paper cut! I knew blood was going to be involved! Post number 13 is the winner of the AE. Post number 52 is the winner of a SE. I also have a satin/ pearl going to post number 34 and a satin/ glitter going to post number 27. Congratulations to all of you and thank you for sharing your stories and pictures with us! Please email me your addresses and I will get them in the mail to you.

Last night of the cointest,,, hurry up and post your stories and/or pictures! I'll post the winner tomorrow.

MJ & HH Pathtag, aren't they cute? : )

Mark, I've got to say, I love the TB!

I noticed two empty cups sitting on the table that looked as if you all had been drinking some hot chocolate before the beer. Maybe the coins are chocolate related.

This was a scary day for me! (And Joni too I'm sure.) She was a trooper though, nothing stops that girl from caching! Remember, only one more day to enter the coinstest!

I forgot to add, we still have one more special cointest for this coin after this one ends, in case you don't have any stories at all to tell.

Two days until the cointest ends.

All orders have been mailed.

Fixing the pictures for this coin as I messed up on my earlier photos, hope I get it right. Well, I can't get them the right size but at least you can see what they look like. I only have a couple of the LE's left so I won't bother posting it. Gold Satin w/ Red Pearl Enamel Gold Satin w/ Red Glitter Enamel

Looking for a Theotokos Crown of Thorns. If anyone has one let me know what you are looking for and hopefully we can trade.

Bernice, I have sent you an invoice. If it's not in your regular mail maybe check your spam mail.

A couple of moonlit hotties there! Nice job Karma.

Oh these are great stories everyone! Well, you know what I mean. : ) I also wanted to let everyone know that all the coins that have been paid for went out this afternoon, you should be seeing them in a few days.

Oh I knew there were going to be some good (or bad depending on if you were the one hurt) stories here.

Gardengorilla, I think your post was the inspiration for the cointest. Your post will be added into the drawing.

An AE has graciously been donated for a **Cointest** (The donor wants to see some blood!) So, show us your Geo-Drops! Post a picture of your battle wounds. No pictures you say? That is fine! Tell us a story of your most memorable cache injury. Blood isn't necessary. Broken bones, sprains, bruises also qualify! You will have one week to gather your pictures and compose your stories and post them as often as you'd like. We will all read them and hopefully cringe. Sunday Dec. 13th we'll randomly pick an entry, so good luck to everyone and let the blood flow!

I like too.

Oh they turned out very nice. I too like the brown w/ red and green parrot. Hope I see this thread when they go on sale. I would like to get one.

SLP, We were tossing around ideas one night after caching and of course here in Texas you don't come back from any day of caching (except maybe a bus stop cache) without some form of blood loss. It just kind of happened but not as a result of the purple heart thread, though that did come up in our conversation and then weeks later I saw that thread. And for the record, I've been told that maybe just maybe I may be a bit over zealous in my mode of caching and that could possibly result in my excessive blood loss. This has not been confirmed though.

Thanks for the nice comments.
