[52 PICK UP - The Mission/Cointest - Pick a Card, Any Card]

Hello Jackalgirl,

I'm so happy that you like the stuff in the parcel

But I must admit that the cute dutch clogs are not from me...

greetings from Germany

[52 PICK UP - The Mission/Cointest - Pick a Card, Any Card]

Ok, the missing cable showed up again, so now I can show the picture:

I got a really beautiful Mimbres coin, and it is one of the rare ones in Red!!! And a really cool crab with a matching pin, and the evil, evil micro... Cooooool!

Another thing I especially liked at this mission was to read the booklet, that felt like finding a cache which was visited from all the nice people here And the collection of pathtags and sig items is growing!!!

The mission is already on it's way to the next recipient, I hope it gets there safe and fast!

again: THANKS!!!! For that really great mission!

[52 PICK UP - The Mission/Cointest - Pick a Card, Any Card]

WOOOOHOOO!!!!

Mission 1 arrived at my door! WOW!!!!! I already took a picture, but at the moment I can't find the usb connector to load it on my computer, and I must leave now for an appointment... I'll post that picture tomorrow...

Just a quick post to say THANK YOU to Penny and Kona for the beautiful Coins and THANK YOU to opalsns for starting this cool mission!!!!!!

[Coin Rescue! Help!]

Hello everyone,

someone placed my mom's coin "Molly the Sheep" (see log here) in a hut that has no cache...

If some cacher by coincidence plans to go there, we would be very very glad if the Coin could be retrieved there and put in a Cache again!

can somebody help please?

best regards from Germany, Chur

Hello,thanks for taking me back on the list again, now that I stopped hibernating :-)))

[Secret Santa 2009]

So today I had a quiet moment to sit in front of our fireplace and finally open my third mission parcel :-)

Inside was a BIG christmas stocking packed with gifts:

Inside was a nice card from Erica_opoly, a lobster ball game, a big christmas tree ornament formed like the Canadian flag, a notepad with a magnet on the back (veeery useful for someone like me, who tends to forget half of the needed things, when I go shopping...) and safely inside a little box THREE cool coins!

The java junkie (yes, I'm a caffeine addict!) and a cute little seashell and a caching in the holidays coin!

 

Thank You!

 

and here is a close-up of my new coins:

 

Happy new year!

[Secret Santa 2009]

Today my last mission arrived! A big parcel all the way from Canada

 

I will open it tomorrow, on new years day...

 

Happy new year to you all!

[Secret Santa 2009]

I was a good girl (for a change...) and waited until christmas before I opened myparcel from Jonesboro...

And I can only say WOW!!!

So many Yummies, a christmasy geocaching pin, and four Coins!

I love them all! Now I can move the "Earn Your Stripes" and the Peacock from my wishlist to my Keepers list! And the christmas lobster is really great, I love the red with gold and I love sunflowers, too, so the Kansas sunshine is veeeery welcome (I don't have this version :-)

 

THANK YOU, my SECRET SANTA!!!

 

and here are some pictures:

My box under the tree (in Germany we open our gifts on the evening of the 24th, but I opened this one this morning like in the US, so it was the last box under the tree...)

 

A lot of tasty things and my great coins:

 

And a close up:

 

Have a nice christmas!!!!!!

 

(edited to write the word christmas correctly... too mch sugar in my brain...)

[Secret Santa 2009]

Today I opened my parcel from Leiden as well...

 

WOW!

What a nice parcel! Already the little reindeer stickers that were everywhere between the gifts made me smile, and I love that mug, and sending a CD with nederlands christmas songs is real fun!!!!

 

Then I had a gift in my hand and thought that it felt a bit coin-like, but that can't be, that gift is too BIG to be a coin... and when I unwrapped it, it was an EARTH TURTLE!

 

WoHoooo!

 

And additionally I got a cache critter (Mooo! A frisian cow I come from eastern Frisia )

And a really nice Millieballon pathtag And a lot of other christmasy fun stuff!

 

Here are the pictures:

 

 

THANK YOU, MY GEO-SANTA!!!!!!!

[Secret Santa 2009]

Our SS gift arrived today! Since I have absolutely no self-control, I had to open it!

 

Hello Kelly & Rick!

I'm glad to hear that the package arrived safely! I was already fearing that it would not arrive in time because I sent it in december... but I wanted to add something else: Before I put it in the parcel, I took the Birka coin with me when I visited the Düsseldorfer Weihnachtsmarkt, to take a picture of it:

 

So you got a picture of the coin travelling, even though it is not activated

 

Have a merry Christmas!

Three names, three different distances....

I 'm already checking the wishlists, and I think I got some real nice coins for my recipients... The christmas gifts are a little more difficult...(do more Geocoins count as gifts?)

 

Just in case: I would not mind if I get an activated coin as long as I can adopt it!

[Quick Halloween Mission]

Ooops, I just realized that I took the picture of my great mission from Ashallond, but forgot to post it... Here it comes:

 

The candy corn is long gone now.....

Thanks again!

Thank you so much!

The mailman arrived with a special treat all the way from Germany today! I have no patience so waiting until closer to Halloween just wasn't going to happen, I had to open it immediately!

 

Inside I found a whole box full of the yummiest looking sweets! Almost all of it is chocolate too so I'm in heaven! There was even a little pack of Nutella To Go (would you believe I've never tried Nutella!) that I can't wait to try. In addition to all of the yummy stuff there is a hilarious little dancing Frankenstein, I wound him up and my son and I burst out laughing when he started be-bopping across the table! And a really cute little ceramic pumpkin tealight holder which fits perfectly in my pottery cabinet. There were not two but four coins and all of them are absolutely perfect! A .pure color which just happens to be my absolute favorite coin color of green/antique copper, a D.E.A.D. coin which is super cool in person, an XLE star coin that is too cute, and a red/copper Musketeer which was on my top 5 list!

 

Thanks so much Chur for such a fun mission!

 

Most of the time my dogs ignore me when I'm opening packages but I think they've learned the word "mission" and know that I often sign them up too so today they absolutely wouldn't leave me alone. I kept having to explain that this was a mom mission and they would get theirs later. Apparently they have no patience either!

I'm so glad the parcel arrived safely!

If you take a closer look at the pure coins side, you cansee that this is my pesonalized version :-)

It seems we got the same favourite coin color
