+usyoopers Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Email Sent: 28 April 2009 Name Received: 6 May 2009 Mission Sent: 13 May 2009 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! 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). Quote Link to comment

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.

I decided to stick with my first choice). Thank you so much Picture on the way. Quote Link to comment
+Belfrypotters Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment
