dimkasmir Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 We just upgraded our camera and I've playing around with it, taking pics of geocoins. Here is one that I particularly like of the GW ET. Quote
+tsunrisebey Posted July 14, 2008 Author Posted July 14, 2008 What a great pic! Thanks for sharing Update: As I suspected, the ship date has been pushed back. The originally said they would try for the 14th of July and the gal I work with has said 15th or 16th now. I think they'll ship by the end of this week either way. So, if they actually ship on time, I'll probably start invoices this weekend (Friday evening and throughout the weekend). I'll post for sure when turtles arrive (and confirm they look nice which will require me to look at all of them individually) and I'll post when to start watching for emails. For those of you who want to (upon the start of my invoicing, I'll give you the option to send me payment instead of waiting for me to go down the list of all 250 people, that would help me out and get your packages out quicker because I'll have them all ready to ship before I invoice). I'll be more clear on this option when the actual time arrives. Quote
+Ambrosia Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 I ordered a couple of these coins a while back. I've been wondering about how this was going, so I was glancing through my emails to see if I missed anything being sent to me. Only then did I realize that my email to order this never was sent. It's been sitting in my outbox for over 3 weeks! I've never had that happen before, as even if there's an initial hang up, send and receive is constantly being updated and so will eventually kick out the email. I hadn't thought to check it as there's never been an issue. What an unpleasant surprise, and what a bummer. Quote
+tsunrisebey Posted July 15, 2008 Author Posted July 15, 2008 WARNING: Word on the street has it that a large herd/group/pod/pack/flock of turtles has been spotted swiiming off the coast of China headed towards the US. They should make landfall on the mainland US, sometime around Thursday. Once on land there will be an enormous turtle stampede that will cause wide spread destruction and panic among citizens. Please take cover immediately. Special turtle herding dogs (Tristin and Dakota) are at the ready and are slated to herd the turtles in Helena, Montana where they will be roped and tied (by tsun the cowgirl) and brought under control. These rogue turtles will then be sent off to homes around the world. It is unknown what path they will take to get here, so please find a safe place away from the impending stampede. I will give the "All Clear" when the danger is over. Quote

+gardengorilla Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Yahoo! I guess the rogue turtles are a little late for our Calgary Stampede but when they get here, we'll have a Stampede all of our own. Quote

+tsunrisebey Posted July 16, 2008 Author Posted July 16, 2008 Yay!! Here they come!! The latest word was pandamonium in Greensboro, NC and Ankorage, AK. Those must be a few of the rogue pillagers leaving Ankorage that you posted. Hong Kong reported some wide spread destruction and here are some pics posted on the their news stations. I guess it was a massive invasion: They even robbed some banks: Quote

+tsunrisebey Posted July 16, 2008 Author Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) Guess what crawled to town? Edited July 16, 2008 by tsunrisebey Quote
+The_Geomonkeys Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Sweet! We may be monkeys but we have room at HQ for some turtles as well. Can't wait to get my invoice! They look great, thanks for doing a preorder so we could get some! Quote
+tsunrisebey Posted July 16, 2008 Author Posted July 16, 2008 This is for the people who had reservations for the turtles ONLY For those of you who do not want to wait for an invoice, you can send your payment to me without waiting. I will start filling orders tonight when I get home from my nephew's basbeball game. The first shipment will head out Thursday, I'll try to get as many done as I can before the PO closes tomorrow. So, for those of you who want to send payment and you know what you ordered, you can send me paypal payment to tsunrisebey@gmail.com. Here is the link to the V2 reservation page that has the prices on it, so you can figure out your total. http://earthturtle2008.googlepages.com/ear...rtleremintsales If you are not sure what your order was, you can wait for me to move down the list and invoice you, or you can look it up in your email program. Reservations were taken the last week of June and everyone should have received a reply from my earthturtle2008 gmail account. Look up your email. Please do NOT send me emails asking what you ordered, I will not have time to get back to you and it will make more work for me. If you are confused by any of this, just wait for your invoice and I should have everyone invoiced and packaged by Sunday. I'll contact you if there are any problems. Thanks everyone Quote

+tsunrisebey Posted July 17, 2008 Author Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) All of you who sent paypal payments, I did a quick reply (right MJ ) and they will head out tomorrow. I'll continue invoicing for the next few hours or you can read the directions in post #622 and speed the process up for yourself and me The pins turned out really cute too! When you get them, you'll notice 1 small change to them Thanks again all... back to work for me Edited July 17, 2008 by tsunrisebey Quote
+Roaring_Fork Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Payment sent. I can't wait for the turtles to visit Colorado. Thank you tsun! Greg Quote
+DaFunkyFrogs Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Payment sent! Thanks Stephanie, They look gorgeous! Quote
+LionsLair Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) Payment sent! I would like to say thank you Tsun for keeping everyone informed about these coins regardless of how big or small the news is/was... I hope other vendors are taking notes and can offer their customers some of the same courtesies you have given the coin collecting community. I also think they should think of doing pre orders as opposed to pre sales... the whole thing just seems to be easier and go so smoothly. on a side note, I may be interested on any extra coins that are not paid for after invoicing. I've also ordered a couple extra for trade for the V1 coins incase someone has an extra V1 and didn't get in on the V2 I'll be anxiously checking my mailbox this weekend! edited, for spelling ...... huked on fonicks wurked fur meee... Edited July 17, 2008 by LionsLair Quote
+The_Geomonkeys Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Payment sent for 6 of the cute little guys....and likewise I would love to trade for a V1 if anyone has one...those were so cute...and I missed them! Quote

+mousekakat Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 I paid...happily....see Love ya Tsun, get a good sleep and hit the postal outlet full speed ahead! Me too me too me too!! It's rare that I get to buy a new coin, but I couldn't pass this one! Swim fast, little turtles, swim fast! Naomi Quote
+Steinwälzer Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 I just paid for my turtles. Glad I had the option not to wait for the invoices because I am going on a weekend-trip without internet-access... Now I can't wait to see my turtles Quote
+MustangJoni Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 All of you who sent paypal payments, I did a quick reply (right MJ ) and they will head out tomorrow. tsun is right on top of replies! Quote

+tsunrisebey Posted July 18, 2008 Author Posted July 18, 2008 I think I need a new system of doing things, lol. It would be so much worse if I actually had a life outside of geocoins I'm slightly over the half way mark on 210 invoices. For those who paid up to this minute, I have packaged and shipped and/or will ship tomorrow also. So, hang in there those of you still waiting on me, I'm working as fast as I can I'll try to fire off the majority of the remaining invoices tonight but for now my eyes are killing me and Tristin wants to play Quote
+hollora Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Payment sent. Thanks for all your work on these! Quote
