+Team Turtlebone Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) Mission#2 (Adult) 1. Participating: E-mail sent, October 3 2. Received Name: Yes, October 30 3. Outgoing Package Complete: Mailed 11/17/2008, on its way across the ocean. santa_signal.gif 4. Incoming Package Received!: YES! Today, 12/18/2008 from Texas. Thank you so much Nursegirl / Team Fireboy!! We received a WONDERFUL mission today all the way from Texas (where apparently, everything is BIGGER!). Our mission contained 9 (!!!) geocoins, 3 path tags, an emergency blanket, a santa pez dispenser, whoppers candies, m&ms, reindeer plushie, hot chocolate, and Magic grow towelettes (in the pic one is missing because it was currently "growing"). Thank you so much!! Your generosity was so appreciated. Before these missions, we did not own any geocoins, since we have only been caching since September. Our coin collection grew by leaps. Thanks so much! The owl coin (sorry, we do not know the "official" names of all the coins) and the pirate booty coins were our favorites, but we LOVE all of them!! EDIT: Pianissimo (my caching partner) asked me to edit this post and tell you all that he had NEVER (??) had Pez before, and always wanted to try it growing up. Now he has. He also wanted one of the magic grow animals that you put in water, and now he has tried that too. Also, in a video game, he plays a character that looks ALOT like the owl on the coin you sent. It was his absolute favorite coin, although he loved them all. AND, to top it all off, he was tickled that "nursegirl" was one of his mission senders, because he is currently a nursing student at University of Michigan- Flint. Isn't life funny sometimes? Thanks for knowing exactly what he wanted!! This was our first time participating in a mission, and it was such a good time. Thank you so much!! And thank you SO MUCH butterfly lady for organizing this mission. It must have taken quite a lot of time and effort. Thank you so much for doing this for us. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, season's greetings everyone. Edited December 19, 2008 by laura2000mi Quote Link to comment

+TheEssexKellys Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Mission 1 - Adult I received my mission, literally ages ago but had to wait until Ella had received hers to open it!! I was thrilled to receive two gorgeous coins, that I've almost bought before - a Greatest Cache and a Key to the Cache (I think) coins - they are beautiful. Included in my packages was some bath salts, candy, lollipop and wooden decorations. Thank you for my package to those in Ogden - Sofi and Holmbiorn - it was gratefully received and appreciated. Mission 2 - Child Ella answered the door to the postman on Saturday and was so excited that there was a package for her! So she sat down ripped it open - thank you for the beautiful sparkles that decorated my carpet!! Ella was pleased to receive three beautiful coins that she wants to put in treasure!! She received a First to Find coin, a Fortune Favours the Bold geocoin, 2 pathtags and a sparkly green duck coin - I'm not sure what this one is called. She also received a Christmas candy decorations, some mittens for the Christmas, a snowman and a dog candy dispenser - this was - and still is her favourite!!! We don't know who this was from but I'm going to investigate to say thank you, although this may prove difficult as Ella trashed the envelope..... I will try and post some pictures. I want to say a huge thank you for the senders of our gifts, they were truly love. Thank you also to those who received gifts from us for the lovely pictures and emails we've received. And thank you to butterfly lady for organising this mission. Hope you all have a great Christmas. Becky & Ella TheEssexKellys Quote Link to comment
