+mousekakat Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) Ok, so I know that there are currently 2 missions going on right now, but I'm feeling the need to do this... OPERATION SPREAD A LITTLE SUNSHINE Winter blahs, spring doldrums, S.A.D, cabin fever, caching withdrawals.... it's the time of the year for it all and that just makes me feel BLAH! So here's the deal. This is going to be a SHORT, quick and easy mission. It's one coin, trackable or non-trackable, that's all. The catch of the mission, though, is that you need to mail it in the next week or so, AND, you need to include a greeting card with it that you either make or buy, as long as it has a personal note in it. This isn't meant to be a break the bank mission, nor is it meant to be a mission where you have to research and trade for coins. It should be nothing more than a card and a coin. The coin should just be something that you pick and decide to send, something you like that brings a smile to your face and that you think would bring a smile to the face of the person you're sending it to. So, if you're in, send me an email with your full name and address. Since it's a simple card and coin mission, I won't be asking if you're willing to send it overseas or not. Shipping costs should be minimal. Email me at hannaomikael at gmail dot com if you are interested in joining in to bring a little sunshine to someone else and to receive a smile yourself! I'll give until Sunday, March 2, 18:00 Eastern time (21:00 GMT +1) to sign up and I'll then send out your recipient. Remember, let's keep it really simple, just a coin and a card and let's bring a smile to someone's face! Naomi Edited February 29, 2008 by mousekakat Quote Link to comment

+sweetlife Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 We would love to be taking part in this mission. It sure is been a long winter. Sure is alot of snow here in NorthEastern Wisconsin. We are patiently waitting for spring to arrive. We cannot wait until we can get our camper out so we can get out to do more geocaching. Winter slows us up alot. Snow here is so deep here it is almost imposible to even find a cache. Thanks for holding this mission. We hope to make someone have a better day. Barry and Valarie sweetlife email sent to participate in mission Quote Link to comment

So sorry you are blue. But remember blue skys and the sunshine are beautiful so blue is a good color - just not a bad feeling. Hope you get the pick me up you need sometime soon!

As the biggest part of the bad day has to do with geocaching "friends" I guess the good thing about it is that I now can find out who my real geocaching friends are Quote Link to comment

+mousekakat Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 If there is someone out there who is ok with adopting a coin, please let me know. I've got someone who wants to participate but would need to adopt over the coin they are sending Naomi Quote Link to comment
