+opalsns Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi Gatoulis, I used regular pennies from our penny jar, it used to be a quarter jar untill the world got poor!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
+opalsns Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 OK FOLKS, First, let me say Thank You to all that entered. I think the next time I do a cointest like this( I'm already working on the next nickel!) I will not just choose a winner. WAY TO HARD, as all the Thoughts were great. I've been going over this most of the day and have finally come up with the 9 Thoughts that, made me laugh, made me cry, made me think. If your post#/name is one of the 9 chosen, email your address to me via my gc.com account and I will send them out tomorrow.The nickels are already packaged and sealed so I don't know who gets what number!! When you recieve them, Post on this thread that you have yours in hand, DON"T post what number it is. When the 9 Thoughtful Penny Wooden Nickels have been recieved and posted, I will use the Random Number Generator to pick the winner of the Traveling 2 Cents Geocoin. Here are the chosen thoughts..... POST NUMBER NAME #2 HowlingMoon #6 Mikey-Likes-It #8 Syott #10 sparticus06 #14 Clan Doyle #23 pdquix #31 drneal #36 Shadow'sFriend #43 darnjoeSNARG Congrats. Quote Link to comment

+opalsns Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 I went to send drneal a note to see if he recieved his nickel, but he hasn't been on since May 29th, so maybe he's on Vacation. Let's wait a few more days and I can have the drawing. Opalsns Quote Link to comment

+opalsns Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Wow. It shouldn't take that long, should it? From Maine to Nova Scotia. I should have brought it to you on The "Cat' !!!! LOL!! They were all mailed on the same day. Yours had to be stamped at the desk. It was in a Square Pale Yellow Invitation Envelope, Secured with tape to a card and surrounded with Cardboard. They all went out that way. They were all packaged before I picked the winners. I hope it gets there soon and in one piece. One of the nickels got damaged in the mail but he said he could fix it. Fingers Crossed! Opalsns Quote Link to comment
