+Frozen Buns Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 (edited) Will I am happy to say we TOTALLY surprised Chris and Cherie with this coin, they called when the package arrived and I was able to conference Paula aka Paula Designs into the call so needless to say alot of laughing, designer talk etc was heard by all. Ant Gold first row, Ant Silver 2nd row Artiist and Grandmas LE available thru trades VERY LIMITED amounts of the coins will be available for sale so I will have to limit purchases to ONE (1) coin per caching name. I am offering a total of 100 coins (50 of the Ant. Gold and 50 of the Ant Silver) for purchase as the remainder of the coins have been divided and will be used as traders by Chris, Paula and myself. Coin will have a unique icon and the CM prefix on the tracking number - THANKS CastleMan for allowing us the use of some of your numbers for our project Coins may be purchased for $12.00 including postage here in the USA and $14.00 including postage for all other countries. Please send me an email with your choice of metal, country and paypal billing address. All coins will be sent on the same day and I will substitue metal of coin if the metal you chose is sold out. If you do not want me to substitue be make a note on your email. 25 of the Copper Coin were made and is the Artist/Designer LE, 25 of the Rhodium Silver were made and is the Grandma LE. There were a total of 100 each of the Ant Silver and Ant. Gold made, no addlitional coins will be minted. This was posted in the cointest earlier today: We just wanted to thank everyone involved in this wonderful surprise! Surteb has pretty much got the story down, too! We're still marveling now over this coin and how appropriate the symbolism is for us both. After almost 18 years together and 10 of it married, we had really thought we were sure in our decision to not go the childhood route. We had been over the pros and cons hundreds of times, but just didn't think it was the choice for us. Last year we realized after talking to the doctors that it was getting down to the now-or-never point of having children as we are now in the high-risk "advanced maternal age" category. We still weren't sure so we said what the heck, if it happens it happens, we'll leave it up to fate. I think that was on Sunday afternoon. 6am on Wednesday, Cherie calls out "I hope your sitting down..." The Tulips depicted in the coin were especially poignant because I'd just given an anniversary gift to Cher with Tulips on it and the words "I'm Ready". The Tulip is a symbol of new birth, change, and the renewing cycle of life so it brought tears to our eyes to see this coin this morning and this symbol that has come to mean so much to use graven in the design. Thank you Frozen Buns for all the reasons you know like only a mother can. Thank you Paula and Jim for the amazing design and production effort (not to mention tight deadline and turnaround ) and of course CastleMan for the use of the prefix. The prefix is especially nice because we've always taken pride in our identical initials and it's just another amazing part of generosity displayed in this whole effort. Thank you to anyone else who was involved (if I still don't know everything) and thank you to the community for sharing your stories, advice and friendship in this most amazing turning point in our lives! You're the best - Chris, Cherie and Alexander Mackey Edited December 5, 2007 by Frozen Buns Quote

Thank you for the kind offer It's very nice of you. But, they did allow me to get two of them Shannon is a cacher, started out as Punchbuggy with the two older kids, then got re-married and changed to Vad'n'Delph (I think that's how they spell it, anyway) But, two more babies and a move to New York has really slowed them down Quote
+mrjiffy Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Would love to trade for one of the artists edition coins, I think they are beautiful. Quote
+Frozen Buns Posted December 5, 2007 Author Posted December 5, 2007 There are still some left, I did a mass email to cachers who purchased a Frozen Buns coin so after I hear back for them I will be posting how many are still avail. then will do some trades and put a couple on the eplace. But you guys are the best and I want to make sure that all who would like to order get a chance first. thanks again on the nice emails and notes, I can hardly wait to ge hold him Quote
