Mission Received: 18 May 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I am a little late posting this, but a BIG thank you to Mrs. usyoopers for my flower mission! The thought put into this mission is evident by all of the goodies AND my coin: a Northern Right Whale from my seeking list!!! I also got a very cool egyption coin that I am completely unfamiliar with and so was a nice surprise to see. (Mrs. usyoopers, any information about this coin?!)

 

Definitely above and beyond my expectations, but to receive this was a great start to my week. Thanks to my sender AND to the mission organizers!

:anibad: I'm glad to hear you liked the package! The egyptian coin is called the "Egyptian Shabti's" it was made in brown, blue and gray (I believe).

Nana:

Email sent: yes

Name received: Received 5/6

Mission sent: Sent it today. It was going international so I sent it priority mail.

Mission received: Yes from Lunamoth47. She did such a terrific mission for me. There was a garden flag, a magnet with flowers in it,yellow flowers which is my favorite color, stickers, socks, a beautiful card, 2 pathtags and a Spring into caching coin. I didn't have this coin and it is so nice. I like all the colors. Everything is colorful, springy and sure made my day. Oh yeah and flower napkins which I will take when I go to the coast tomorrow. I was supposed to pick some up today and forgot so I am all set now. Thank you Chris, you did great. I am so happy with it.

Received my mission today from the Belfry Potters and got a pair of flowery socks, flower post its a maple bookmark, a carved flower pen, a Canada Micro Puck (really cute) and a beautiful Flower Geocoin (strange as I saw this coin and thought it would be good for the mission, but seeing as I would have to buy two (one for me as I always get myself a coin as well its a sneaky way of collecting them!) I decided to stick with my first choice).

Thank you so much

Wow, that was fast, since I only mailed the package eight days ago! It took longer than that for my Turtles to waddle up from Montana, which is just across the Canada-US border from Alberta.

I'm glad everything arrived in good shape and that you like the Flower coin. It's a really lovely coin and I like how they chose flowers that are found all over much of North America. Have a happy Spring!

Yes i know the site and i have met the artist Adi several times.

He has given lectures in Europe and show his slides and movie! Also for non balloon lovers it is interesting to hear his stories.

A quick look at my notes tell me that many of you still need to post your progress here.

 

I have soon got all my things together to send them out, two will go out tomorrow but one will have to wait some more.

 

Please remember to post here and we all like to share your photos.

Thank you all for doing this mission and if you know you are going to be late in sending your mission, please let me know so I can tell the recipient.

Today I received two really beautifull coins. An Edelweiss coin and another one which at first I could not understand: what does it mean? After a little research I understood that it is a lovespoon from Wales. Very original indeed. Perry many thanks for these nice coins. I really love them.

A pretty little claybox with a memorygame with californian wildflowers, a nice set of cards to tell about the flowers sent, a little rubberbook with the coins all put in very nicely and a very pretty card.

The coins are a kansas sunflower, a for the love of the caching in pink/gold (my new favouritrecoin) and a bee my geocache (non-trackable). I don´t have any of them, well I have a Kansas but not in that metal.

A wonderful package with a lot of thought behind. Many, many thanks!!!

I got my flower mission today and I am so excited to share with everyone!!

 

First off, last mission (sunshine) I sent to PV=nRT. So I was very tickled to see a package from the name and address that I recognized. I couldn't wait to open it.

 

Inside, such wonderful and thoughtful items!

 

flower1.jpg

 

A nice daffodil and cat card, with OMG ... a blue on silver Neptunes Compass! Really cute bottlecap magnets, handmade of my very own avatar symbol as well as the GC logo. A beautiful daffodil suncatcher stained glass suncatcher, and sweet words telling her love of daffodils.

Friday, when I came home from work, I found a big parcel in my mail... On the customs form it said "birthday gifts", but my birthday is in October??? Must be the first flower mission, and I hadn't even sent my missions out... But I had the things together so I wrapped the things that evening and brought them to the post office the next day :laughing:

 

Great to hear that Lorcas mission already arrived! It was fun putting it together, before this mission I had no idea how many goodies are available for dogs :D

 

I received two really wonderful mission parcels from The finding Irish 4 and Turlutortue! Each of them found a coin from my wishlist for me! :D;):cool:

I'll try to post pictures tomorrow! Thank you!

Thanks much to my friend from Germany!

Sorry for the delay! I've been meaning to post but wanted to take pictures of the package first :unsure: I received a very lovely package from the Maine Family. A lot of thought was put into it and I got a package of seeds for one of my favorite flowers, snapdragons! I also received gardening gloves (which will really come in handy!), some beautiful postcards, gardening book and a guide to Maine. I also got a nerd coin and a Nero coin - I love both these little guys and I'm excited to add them to my collection :blink: Thanks so much Maine Family!

I spoke to the nice Gentleman at the Post Office and when I said Flower he pulled out the Customs Regulation Book…. :blink:

So you can imagine what the word MISSION would have done to him :unsure:

 

Birthday Gifts made him smile sort-of and only on one side of his mouth but he put the book away stamped the package and said next :D

 

I hope you like the items, and glad we were able to help you cross a coin off of your seeking list.

So you can imagine what the word MISSION would have done to him :huh:

My postmistress is a non native speaker, I believe she's Turkish.

Imagine, when she read on the customs form: gift.

Gift in German is poison.... :ph34r::o:)

*Giggle* :laughing::D:laughing:

 

I hope you like the items, and glad we were able to help you cross a coin off of your seeking list.

 

Oh yes, is was really nice to unpack all the gifts! A very nice rose magnet, a scented candle a puzzle (with a picture of "Kapuzinerkresse" on it), a mirror, notebooks, and and and :-)

There was also finding irish pathtag and, last but not least, this nice Funny animal gecko lizard:

Back home from a long weekend with festival visit, I found a note from the postman in my mailbox. I went to the post office and got a very large box. My flower mission arrived.

 

See pics below!

 

Thank you so much, Jessica! I love this mission and the coin is absolutely perfect!

My first mission and it was a great experience :ph34r::o

 

I spend a while in hospital and when i arrived at home, i found an envelope in my mailbox....

 

....and when i opened it i was speechless: In the envelope was more a kind of artwork than a letter.

 

I never received such a beautiful card before and so i took it in my hands every 5 minutes,because i wasn´t able to stop looking on it :):laughing:

LOL! I'm not the best artist in the world.. but I made it work! So glad you liked it Dark Elf. It was a bit difficult to find the "right" coins for you. I figured everyone can use a compass rose or two! Hope you are feeling better after your hospital stay. ~Chicka

Roses for you, and no thorns!

 

Now isn't that lovely!

 

I'm working with roses, we're propagating them and at the moment, lots of them are in flower...

I can asure you, there are varieties without thorns, but very few! :blink:

 

I'm glad you liked your fist mission, Dark Elf!

And the Heleborus are still in flower? What temperatures do you have? They're long gone around here... :blink:

Well, its not Heleborus but "Pfeifenstrauch" (Philadelphus?)... The bush smells wonderful, like jasmine :P

Uuuuups, I should pay better attention to the pictures...

 

Philadephus is Mock Orange. It smells heavenly... like orange blossoms. Back in the olden days (1800's) brides would wear a wreath/crown of it in their hair.
