I was just looking at Vicki's page, I'm not all that imaginative either. My GC name I've had for a few years in general. Beancounter2b b/c a beancounter is slang for an accountant and I'm still in school so "2b". But that won't be the case after december, but it's kinda late to change it now unless I start over and loss my whopping 4 finds I have. But as far as creativity, even if I go with a stock design w/my handle on it, it would beat having nothing of my own.

Maybe it's not too late. Dans button is pretty cool. Vicky does really good work. glenn At 07:18 PM 4/11/2004, Dan Henke wrote: >Sara, > >My caching name is Thunder_monk and I had in my mind a personalized coin >or token for a long time before I found bumblebuttons.com....It is owned >by a geocacher and she understands the eccentricity of those of us who are >obsessed.
