Thanks so much for the card and coin. Sunshine is plentiful here in Arizona, but spring doesn't last long enough. Here's hoping this makes it last a little longer.

 

And a great choice of coin, I was in Zion as a teen and finally made it back there last summer and had a great time.

 

 

Thanks again!

Recieved this in a package from donorgirl today, and some sunshine certainly was needed a rainy day like this:

 

 

I just love the Rainforest Jewel, it's so cute! And the very nice greetings inside the card really did bring sunshine!

 

Thanks a million Michele, you really made my day!

 

Glad the package made it to Sweden okay and really glad you liked the coin. Hope the rain stops soon and you get some real sunshine. Thanks for the kind words, they brought a little sunshine into my life.

Good Day Sunshine, Good Day Sunshine, Good Day Sunshine

 

I need to laugh and when the sun is out

I've got something I can laugh about

I feel good in a special way

I've got coins and it's a sunny day!!!!!!

 

Mission arrived today and I had to laugh! I received the comic book FTF coin (I have never seen one in person before), the Wonderful Disoveries with the brown eye (just like mine!) and if that wasn't enough an earthrooster nerd!!! Thanks so much Earthrooster. Today was not a very good day and I dearly needed some sunshine!!

Hey, I'm glad you enjoyed the "book of surprises" Toojin & Bart! I had a lot of fun making it.

 

I really enjoyed yours, too!

 

BTW, did you see the bracelet I included in the envelope for Bart?

 

Oh, your pictures were very nice.

 

Thank you again for bringing a little sunshine my way and thank you Naomi for doing this mission to help cure the doldrums for many of us.

[+mousekakat]

So fun to watch the missions roll in!

 

Be sure that you either post here or let me know that you've gotten your mission so I can mark you off the list! I wanna make sure that everyone gets their little bit of sunshine!

Oh my goodness. Bart had already reminded me that I needed to say thank you for including a bear picture on the address label of our package and you should have heard the ruckus when the bracelet (that I had completely completely missed) which was still in the package was found !! Ordinarily Bart is a very quiet bear !!

Mail sure is slow this week - mailed my mission off in New Zealand to the States 9 days ago..... noted not posted on the forum yet - if you have not yet received a mission - maybe it's from me!

 

Likewise nothing here yet, but I expect it can take up to two full weeks.

 

Once had a parcel from Canada take 3 months - all due to the postal counter worker marking it down to non priority.

 

Patience .......

When I came home from a long day at work there was a package waiting for me! I forgot the rain and the grey weather at once.

 

I got a beautiful Acadia National Park coin and and really cute card. Thank you so much! I love it!

 

 

There also was a question on the card. The person who wrote it knows. I have choosen to keep the answer to that a secret. I hope you don´t mind.

 

Also, a big thank you to Mousekakat for doing this for us. It has been fun!

Well, appearently something went wrong when Naomi was distributing the addresses, so I ended up with two missions getting sent so me... (this might be a part of Naomi's 15 year long matchmaking-campaign too, but I don't think it is ) Actually I'm feeling a bit awkward about this, but I'll try to pay it forward sometime.

 

This day has been one of these days when everything is just going wrong, and I haven't even had lunch yet! So some sunshine really was needed, and I could barely contain myself when I saw that the mailman had brought me a bubble mailer. When I opened it, it contained a very nice postcard and two coins:

 

 

I just love peacocks, since there are a lot of them close to a beach where I spent quite a lot of time in the summers when I was younger (and still visit every now and then), and always found these birds beautiful. And a Geojellie 2 is the version I missed until now, and actually I was thinking about it as late as yesterday, how to be able to trade for one for these. To top it of, the Fluteface personal coin is just beautiful too. So everything was spot on, thanks a lot Margaret!

 

And thanks Naomi for organizing this mission, that made my day not once but twice this week!

 

Now lunch and I'm sure the world will smile at me or the rest of the day.

Yes, I admit it, it's a ploy, muhahahaaaa! You see, I've had the pleasure of meeting Lelle and he's a great guy, and just a baby ...just barely 21 or so .

 

And I've got this sweet 8 year old little girl who is going to need a great guy in about 15 years or so, so I figure I'm just gonna start grooming Lelle now, hehehe! Hey, they both like geocaching, geocoins, speak English, and well... hey, what more can a mamma ask for

 

Enjoy your extra sunshine, Lelle, it must have been meant to be if you're having a skit dåligt dag! And don't worry everyone else, the problem has been fixed and the person who was missed has their sunshine on the way to them, too!

After a not so good day a work- DHEC inspection which means southeast business unit manager, area manager, inservice coordinators all come to town to watch you all day- I came home to a little bit of sunshine. Make that a lot of SUNSHINE. A beautiful homemade card ( my favorite) and a bouncy bunny coin. I have never seen this one and I love it. My sunshine gifter has remained anonymous, but THANK YOU for brightening my day.

 

Thanks, Naomi, for putting this together. Everyone needs a little sunshine.

[+Tank Hounds]

Still no sunshine here in IN...although I lied a bit...it's really nice out there today, 60 and sunny....hopefully the package is just taking the slow boat from China to get to me!

[+Dorsetgal & GeoDog]

Well, appearently something went wrong when Naomi was distributing the addresses, so I ended up with two missions getting sent so me...

 

This has happened to me too ... Naomis computer sure has a mind of its own! <big grin>

 

Yesterday I received a surprise second mission ... many thanks Southpawaz ... I am in bed with a heavy cold / chest infection just now but as soon as I can I'll photograph the beautiful coin you sent to me.

 

I have now succeeded (it wasn't easy) in nagging Naomi to give me details of someone to send another coin to, I now have those details and will, as soon as I can, send a coin onwards. It may take a day or two though, I've been in bed since Monday, so please hold tight!

[+mousekakat]

I know the person who has you and they have sent it out. You should get it in the next day or two

 

and Dorsetgal... you ARE evil!! I concede that you are the more stubborn of us, but I gave it a good shot!

A Big Thanks to Geo-Taz!

[+Team FIREBOY]

Glad you liked it Fairyhoney.

 

P.S. the card wouldn't fit into the bubble mailer, so I cut it and taped it to the poster paper.... it wasn't really handmade..lol I am not that creative.
