NEW COIN: le chat rampant - on sale

[+anne.and.eli]

The word has been posted on facebook, but I apologize for not posting it here.

 

The mint was gone for a LOT of holidays over the last month. I've okayed the latest art, but I haven't heard back with a date. I am super sorry for how long it's been taking; there were a couple rounds of art because they kept getting the Siamese wrong. ><

It's my fault, not Anne's The factory has been playing cat and mouse with me (pun intended). I'm working super hard to tidy up one loose piece of yarn, then we'll be rolling . . . .

BAD TMA!

 

 

 

I've worked on designs and such myself; I know how it can be.

Just how many puns can you get in one post?!

I prefer to blame the mint. It's like blaming fate. It's this big distant thing that moves to its own rules and we just have to learn to live with it.

[+anne.and.eli]

Le chat rampant re-mint accepted and paid! Looks like a Nov 18th delivery date. So I'll be able to FINALLY send out the Siamese and cat cache fever coins! Thanks everyone for your patience! Also, the version I did for the raffle will be arriving then, so I'll be pulling raffle winners soon!

[+sweetlife]

is this from the ticket from GCF? We are still holding on to our ticket.

Haha

 

I have been posting updates on facebook, I apologize for not posting here.

 

I got the first of the shipment yesterday which I HOPE means I will get the rest today (unfortunately the part I got wasn't the remint of the error coins)! I'm not sure why they weren't shipped all together and I'm trying not to be nervous about it.

 

@Sweetlife: Yes, the ticket from GCF.

[+anne.and.eli]

Got home and the rest of the coins have not arrived.

 

I am super antsy for them to show up, and will let you all know as soon as they arrive.

[+DresselDragons]

As much as I enjoy FB, I still come here for my geocoin news...just too much stuff on FB to try and follow coins, etc there. Thanks for posting here.

I've been terribly busy at my real 9-5 this week. The reason you didn't get the other part of your order, is because we didn't either. So don't worry that the USPS lost them. For some reason, the factory decided to just ship us one part. Sorry. Expecting the other part soon.

Glad to hear the siamese kitties are on their way. I had ordered/reserved (two, I think) so I could give one to my son, who had a siamese cat but disappeared in October and is now feared "gone" We have no clue what happened to Piglet, and a coin would never replace a beloved pet, but certainly will be a nice memorial.

Won't, can't make me.

HAhaha that wasn't me telling you to get on Facebook, it was me saying that I suck for not posting in both places.

 

Thanks for the update Pete, am super happy the coins weren't lost to the USPS. PHEW.

[+anne.and.eli]

THEY HAVE ARRIVED!!

 

It seems like cruel and unusual punishment to send out invoices the day before Thanksgiving, so look for them on Friday.

 

In the meantime, I will be doing the raffle drawing very soon! The raffle version of the coin came out great! I have pictures but need to find my USB cord to download them off the camera. ><

 

When I get the USB cable, I'll post the pics AND the raffle winners!

I'm glad you guys like it! It's really quite pretty.

 

Invoices for the remint are sent out! If you didn't receive one and you think you should, please let me know ASAP.

 

In other news, congrats to The Moop Along, so far the only raffle winner found! At this rate there will be a redraw after a week has passed.

 

(And yes, the irony of TMA being a winner is not lost on me. )

[+Mar-elendili]

Invoice paid for! I'm looking forward to seeing the kitties!

 

(I forgot to add a note about the grouped shipping with the Wolf song coin you set aside for me, but I think you know!)

First round of shipments should be finding their way to people tomorrow. Doing the second round of shipments tonight.

 

It's been a week since I did the raffle, and there are three unclaimed prizes left, so I drew three more numbers. Hopefully I will find more winners this time!

Thanks all!

If you toss a winning raffle ticket into my shipment of le Chat's, I promise to respond with my "I won!" in a reasonable amount of time.

Hahahaha no raffle ticket, but something else did climb into your shipment which went out this morning. I hope it will do!

[ATMouse]

I have a Pounce, a Clowder, a Nuisance of cats that have arrived today!!

 

Thank you for the extra you added to my order. These kitties will find good homes.

 

[+Woyi and Waya]

Got my kitty in the mail yesterday ... wow that was fast! Beautiful work, great job Anne!

[+DresselDragons]

Dang...just saw the paypal invoice in my spam folder. Will pay ASAP.

No, not a sexy legged lamp, but a PURRRRRfect major award nonetheless. A wonderful surprise! When I saw these on Facebook, I thought, "When will I EVER be done acquiring these little darling?"

 

Thanks for a great design, Anne, and for letting us all be a part of the many inCATnations of le chat!

[+maristua]

Do you ship to Europe?

[+anne.and.eli]

Do you ship to Europe?

 

Yes. I just sent out reminders to people who haven't paid. If I haven't heard back from them by Tuesday, I'll put the leftovers up in my shop on Wed. Right now there's a couple in there, but I have some leftovers of others, just need to know quantities before they end up in the shop.

Here are pictures of the AE version. I wanted to wait until Vanelle got hers, and she should have gotten it by now. This coin was designed right after GCF, because Vanelle kept cracking me up by commenting on my "effing cat coins". So this is the "effin' cats" version.

 

 

And with the lights off...

 

Each side has different graffiti, but it's of the same nature.

[+anne.and.eli]

Please note, the AE version is NOT for sale. It is for cointests and gifts only (although a couple may end up on the e-place).

 

Speaking of which a cointest will be coming soon.

Is it written IN the enamel??

 

Or ON it, post-production?

 

I'm gobsnobbered.

 

And my youngest dog keeps nosing my hand off the keyboard...time to go outside, I guess.

You should probably let the dog out too!

Beautiful new coin!!

 

The grafiti is a sabotage of the cat coin... and it is like... a ...vote for dogs in pet elections! Very clever!!!

Very cool! 'Effing' you have some extras for trade, I'd be interested.

 

P.S. the herd of cats you sent me arrived safely. Thanks!

It is done with screen printed glow-in-the-dark ink.

 

The color isn't quite a match with the underlayed enamel, but it's still a fun effect!

[sarahbelle]

I love this design soooo much! I've had to be away from coins for a while now because of lack of internet access and, well, life stuff, but I am so glad I got to see this one. Maybe I'll be able to get one for myself for Christmas. Congratulations, this coin is fantastic!

Four kitties and a wolf came scratching at my door. Don't worry about the door, it opened right away!

 

Thanks for the great coins, they're all so cute!

HAH! What a fantastic idea -- very clever! : )

Went through my inventory and am selling off some of my "safety" coins as shipments are arriving safely at their destination. Wolves, cats, mini-dubloons are all up on the store!

RAFFLE COINTEST

 

I got tired of pulling tickets, so if you have a raffle ticket from Geocoinfest, comment here. I will pick a winner using random.com next Monday. I'm picking one winner on the boards and one on facebook, feel free to enter in both places. (Although you can only win once

 

I reserve the right to change the rules,etc. etc. This is the coin you will win:

 

 

I will send the coin to all the winners (that includes you Pete) after the last two winners are chosen.

 

Thanks everyone who came to visit me at GCF!

Pick me, please! I love your kitties. I can't keep away from them. I've ordered them 3 times now and this one would be SO, so welcome here with it's sisters. Our kitty passed away last year at age 18 - she was a blue point Siamese, just like Hydrophobia... beautiful. I love animals. Have 2 dogs now, who will be participating in your cointest.

 

I'd like to propose you do a Rhodesian Ridgeback (dog) coin next. They are smooth-coated, muscular, athletic dogs that would look *fabulous* as a coin.

 

But meanwhile... Here kitty, kitty!

[+aka Momster]

I keep checking the ground for foolishly discarded raffle tickets... No luck yet. I love these coins. They have become the favorite of my shaped coins.

:D:DHi all, I just wanted to say that I got a nice little package from Anne right on Christmas Eve! How is that for timing!:D:D

Of course I love it, we'll just say I'm not a big fan of cats<_< so this is the perfect version for me:lol:

 

Thanks so much Anne, I love it!
