+Butterfly_lady Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 ...It's been a while, and I haven't heard anything from my recipients. I hope everything is ok! One was over an ocean, but the other wasn't very far away from me...Hope they arrive soon! One of your recipients is regularily on the fourms.... The other is not so often here. There will be an email going out soon, asking people to post their received missions, but I'm allowing for a few more days mail first, and a few moments to have more than snatched minutes at the computer - so many summer BBQs and events being organised and attended here at the moment! And a little sun-kissed after a cache dash yesterday! Keep those posts rolling on in ~ it is great to see all the variety of sharing going on. BTW - this has been a much easier mission to organise and track, than the Santa one. Kudos to you all for making it so easy. Quote Link to comment

+CanadaKate Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 JohnMac56, I'm so glad you've received my card and that you liked the coin. My status -- both sending missions received by recipients. Neither incoming mission here yet but there's still lots of time for them to arrive before Christmas. Looking forward to next week's mail!

No sign of any incoming coins here yet, but since the one I sent to NZ arrived a week ahead of the one I sent to OR, I'm not worried yet. Just eager! Quote Link to comment

+grodan & fiabus Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Today I received both the penguin missions. One from a secret penguin in UK, no idea where it came from. A nice coin new to me and a penguincard. The royal mail had ripped the red envelope but the coin was safely secured with plastic tape so I don´t think anything is missing. The other was from USA and also a new nice coin for me. Thank you both so much. grodan Karin Quote Link to comment

A BIG Thank You to Susiemerlin1 for sending such a great coin and a great card. Susiemerlin1 had sent us an Engine House Geocoin. She also included a little information on the engine house that is not far from where she lives. As we do not have these here in the United States (at least not where we are), it was really nice to read up on them. Courtney (my 8 year old) was really intrigued on these, and we did a little more research on them. As Sue had mentioned in her letter, this geocoin is very special to her, and now it is very special to us!! Thank you for sending this to us!!! Merry Christmas!!!! Quote Link to comment

+Team Fehling Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I am wondering if our mission sent to the UK has been received ... I haven't seen any posts by the recipient saying that they received it ... I worry because of how some people have been receiving their packages, and also when you send a coin in a card and the post office doesn't pay attention to the stamp that says "Don't run it through the machine" and they do anyways ...

Will I be able to release it into the wild or will the "Gollum" effect take over? That completes our mission, 2 x geocoins sent and received, thank you so much for organising it Butterfly Lady its been great taking part. Merry Christmas everyone.
