Joyeux Noël Mission


Laval K-9

Recommended Posts

Again sorry for no pictures if we ever get our camera back from the repair place I will get some, maybe soon as they told us we would have it for Christmas. Really not holding my breath as it has been over a month already but fingers crossed.

We let the little mad open on this one alone. After finally getting into it he hollered "Mommy the caching loves me". He got a very nice sparkle heart that reads "Love you Cache", he also got a PTC tag in the package which happened to be one we were missing. The card will be added to our card wall, Thank you!

A very nice handmade card with a gorgeous jeweled Celtic looking coin. Perfect coin for mom as she loves anything with stones/jewels, now lets see if she ever lets it out of her hands. The card will be added to our card wall, Thank you!

Dad opened this one and thought it was great. First all there was a chocolate his favorite, then he found 2 coins. The first was a silver sparkle HunnyBunny, very cute and the second was a geo-jellies that goes great with moms others. The card will be added to our card wall, Thank you!

Well it has been snowing since Sunday, some area's hit harder than us. We've only got 12 in. but about 45 mins from here they've gotten 4 ft. I think winter is here to stay, on the good note skiing starts tomorrow night.

Received my mission today from Foxtrout, a wonderful card and stickers and a Nebraskache 2009. Thank you very much what you are not aware is I had tried unsuccessfully I will add, to trade for this coin over a year ago. It will now find a place in my collection, again thanks :mad: .

Went to the post office during lunch today to pick up my card. My first Christmas card of the season! I couldn't wait to get back to work to open it up.

 

The card is cute and made us laugh. the front says "Up on the rooftop, click, click, click"

and the picture depicts the inside with the coin. It is the Christmas Compass Rose, a very beautiful coin! Its so cheerful - thanks so much, needed some cheer! Also included was the personal geocoin burgessfour. I have often thought about doing a coin. Maybe this will get me going in that direction.

 

Thank you so much, both coin have touched me.

 

have taken picture but haven't figured put how to include the photo, ah, me and the computer...we have our moments!

Everything is going very well, it's nice to see the cards and coins people are receiving. Here is an update of those who didn't write about their mission status recently. If you wrote ¨I will send it in a few days¨, please specify if it has been done. For the moment, I will only take care of the ¨SENT CARD¨ line. Later on, I'll be checking the ones whose missions were not received yet.

 

So, in no particular order...

Glad that it arrived and that you're doing good. Actually it's from both of us... We share an account and did this mission together. We hope that she likes the coin... We tried to find one that would appeal to her. My wife liked it so much that we then ordered another one for her. :P

We went to their house for family dinner tonight before Ralph and I leave for 10 days in FL. The vacation we planned before he had some medical issues.

 

I took up the card and helped Amara open it. It was fun watching her. First she was thrilled to have her own mail. Then when we got it opened there was a pathtag (yes, she knows what a pathtag is) and the little package inside. "Oh a present" she said. Amara wasn't going to open it but I assured her it was ok. And then more packing - and we explained it was ok to rip things off.

 

She was very excited and knew exactly what the coin was - she said, "Oh look, a beautiful butterfly! Someone sent me a pathtag and a beautiful butterfly!" I explained about the card and coin swap and told her I had put in her name. "Oh thank you Nannay! I love my things.", came out next.

 

Thank you for including the pathtag, very nice and her Mom has quite the collection (which, of course, will be hers some day). This was perfect and Thanks to both of you again. Hard to get a 3 1/2 year old to hold still for a photo but here are a couple..............

 

100_4193.jpg Look a Geocoin and a Pathtag!

 

100_4194.jpg Thank you for my gifts -- Merry Christmas! Ms Amara <_<

Card Received: Yes, yesterday! (December 9th) - thank you to Asholland for the lovely card and for the Canada coin. This was the very first coin I ever owned...my husband didn't know anything about geocoins and must have thought there weren't too many designs out there so I got a bunch of these for Christmas. I didn't know much about coins either and I activated them all and sent them travelling (save one cause I couldn't think of another mission). I think they are all missing now...:huh: so I am happy to have an unactivated one in my collection. Thank you again!

The list is getting very short, I'm glad to see that. I was going to write the names of the ones who didn't receive their mission but the list is still long, I'll wait a little bit longer for that one.

 

Thanks for your help! :huh:

A pretty looking card with a crow arrived in our mailbox, along with a beautiful Celtic Spirit in antique copper version.

 

Thanks a lot, Gregson, that was very sweet of you!

I'm glad you like it. I thought it was a good Christmas coin since it is so shiny as well as being red and green.

 

Crows might not have the pretty plumage of other birds, but they more than make up for it in their intelligence and personalities. Plus, you have to love a bird with a well developed sense of esthetics and who isn't afraid to express joy in all things shiny.

A hand-decorated card from Zariah- makes me miss the days when I had toddlers running 'round the house instead of teens running from it!

and a 'Team Rod & Tod' don't drive distracted and a Future of Caching Geo Portal!

Thank You Zariah! (& DJJ) :D;);)

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Wyatt Earp was spoiled today ;) He was so overwhelmed that he insisted on putting on his Santa hat and had its picture taken :D He received a very nice card, a personal napkin, 3 cute pathtags, a Chincoteague coin and Millieballon's personal coin. That moose is so cute :anicute

 

On behalf of Wyatt, a big thanks to you Millieballon :mad: Happy Holidays!!!!

I have now received all three coins and cards that I was expecting.

 

On Friday, I received all of this great stuff from Cornwall! The geocoin was especially welcome since I had wanted to buy one of these when they were offered, but for various reasons it did not happen. Through a Noel miracle, I now have a St. Piran.

Glad you like the coin, I fell in love with it when I saw it, luckily the coin designer only live about 15 miles (as the crow flies) from me and he is selling them in his outdoor shop, so we went up to get one (well two as I had to have one for myself of course!) especially for the mission. You must have been sending out vibes!!!

Cannot believe it only took 8 days to get to you.

Merry Christmas to everyone in the mission.

Well, I thought I had posted that my card arrived! Whoops....maybe i put it in what was in your mailbox thread.... I have Christmas brain at the moment.

 

But YES, I did receive my surprise from The Other Yoopers - a pretty pop out card that turns into a snowflake as well as a glittery green christmas light bulb coin and a hand-made fridge magnet. Thank you so much! I did take a picture and will post it as soon as I get it out of my camera!

 

And my card was sent ... posted it earlier somewhere in this thread, but haven't seen it posted as received yet. It was going overseas, so must be by slow boat :(
