Just a few minutes ago, she cackled that she's going to rest this weekend then she's heading to a certain someone who has been patiently waiting for her arrival for quite some time!

Sorry it took me a bit to reply. You are very welcome. I checked out your list and seen you was looking for the cow. Luckily I had one laying here, and knew that you had to be the one to get Sabrina next. Quote Link to comment
+usyoopers Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Sabrina flew in here yesterday afternoon with her bug-eyed toothy friend in tow (I LOVE it!! ) She was also dragging along The 4 F's personal coin, all that weight to carry had her pretty tuckered out by the time she made it here! She is warming up a bit, checking out flight plans. We'll help her on her way real soon. Sabrina and her friends Quote Link to comment

ELTADA Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 since i keep doing missions, i need to get my act together and list my coins. any suggestions on how to list them? You have many options.... - you can list your coin on a paid site (at the risk of starting an advertising thread, I will just say that there are a couple of very popular ones that you can find by clicking on people's trade links in their signature) - you can create a google document (this is what I did) or list them on your blog/website - some people have taken one of their activated geocoin or TB pages on geocaching.com and listed all their trade/seek lists there (thought that was a good way to do it) - other people just periodically post updates of which coins they have and which coins they are seeking in the Trading post that's pinned at the top of this forum.

+grodan & fiabus Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Easter is in april this year and maybe Sabrina will visit Sweden in time for that. We have a tradition here to celebrate easter like this explained in wikipedia: In Finland, Sweden and Denmark, traditions include egg painting and small children dressed as witches collecting candy door-to-door, in exchange for decorated pussy willows. This is a result of the mixing of an old Orthodox tradition (blessing houses with willow branches) and the Scandinavian Easter witch tradition.[citation needed][49] Brightly coloured feathers and little decorations are also attached to birch branches in a vase. For lunch/dinner on Holy Saturday, families traditionally feast on a smörgåsbord of herring, salmon, potatoes, eggs and other kinds of food. In Finland, the Lutheran majority enjoys mämmi as another traditional Easter treat, while the Orthodox minority's traditions include eating pasha (also spelt paskha) instead. So she is very welcome here. Hope she travels safe and visit many on her tour. grodan Karin Quote Link to comment
+TeamEccs21 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) Sabrina has had a wonderful time visiting with us. She flew in with a couple of Woodsy Owls. She will be flying across the Atlantic next. Unfortunately she won't have any birds along to help. Take good care of her when she arrives. Edited February 23, 2009 by TeamEccs21 Quote Link to comment

I'm still interested in participating, and my address is in The List. My seeking list is on cointracking under 'ECplus3'. In post 196 (and I think just before that actually), I suggested that people re-volunteer for this mission if they were interested. The mission had lapsed for quite some time and I wanted to make sure that those that were on the list were still interested, still watching the thread, still able to fulfill the mission, etc. So I asked for people to post their interest again since it had been so long since the initial call for participants. Plus it would make it easier for me (as the interim mission organizer) to keep track of things (purely selfish).

ELTADA Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) Hello All - as I am only the volunteer mission organizer (Nochipra originally set this mission up and donated the coins), I am at a loss as to how to respond. Helga was sent to Taubin by fairyhoney and through no fault of fairyhoney's (how would you know?), Helga did not surface again. Our only hope is that whatever has led Taubin away from the forums and this mission will dissipate and she will return and join us again. Hopefully nothing serious has happened to Taubin. On that note, we have people interested in participating in the mission again. This is a compliment to those completing the missions and sending our Sabrina on flying around the world! But, on the other hand, we have many people signed up on the list eagerly awaiting any sight of this witch on a broom...some have been waiting for awhile now. So what to do, what to do...quite a quandary. The only thing I can suggest is adding another traveling coin with a similar mission with a new list of participants. That way, those who have already had the chance to visit with a witch can enjoy another round with a different coin. If the list of participants in the Witch's Mission dwindles down to zero, we can always start again or finish it off and send Sabrina home for a rest (depending on what people want to do). I would be interested in contributing a coin for this but patience will be needed as what I have in mind will not be in place for another 6 weeks. If someone else has a coin that might be suitable and would like to start another round, I would be happy to administer that as well on their behalf or give advice on how to do it (it's pretty straightforward). I look forward to your opinions/comments! edited: stupid spelling Edited March 18, 2009 by ELTADA Quote Link to comment
