Joyeux Noël Mission

[+Laval K-9]

Santa has a LOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGG way to USA............

i`m sorry i see two namezzzzzzzzzzzz but SANTA don`t take so long to cross big ocean does hè???

 

Don't worry Anne, I'm pretty sure many of them already have received their mission by now, just didn't have time to post yet

[+yanagi]

CCWashburn's "special delivery" from Germany!! Thank you Yanagi, I love it! The ornament already has a place on my Christmas tree! The Geowoodstock coin will fit into my collection very well and the Cachekin will eventually get sent out attached to something.[/font][/size]

 

 

I'm sorry that the package did not make it to your birthday (though I really kept my fingers crossed!). So even 2 days later: HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!

But it is really great to hear that you liked the content.

 

Mine has not arrived yet but the last packages from overseas took really long too so I don't worry.

I am starting to think one of my sent missions got lost. It should have got there by now. I sent it out nov 17, I give it some more time before I act.

I thought I should give an update since I was on the list-thanks for the update:)

Riley-Finn is loving his bone....it's his favorite toy. When he comes in the house the first thing he does is retrieve his new bone from his 'secret' hiding spot. He loved the treats that Wyatt sent him, he just finished them off a few nights ago

Glad to see that the toy is still in one piece. Some dogs destroy those in a few minutes Wyatt is quite good with his squeaky toys, he usually chew them gently and they last a long time

Thanks very much for the Ontario coin and the :Dfamily cacher coin

MISSION COMPLETE ON BOTH ENDS!!!

 

Just as I was about to think that Riley's mission got lost in the mail it arrived! Unfortunately, it was mangled pretty bad by the post office and the only thing I could tell was that it came from Sweden, from what remained of the envelope. I verified with Claire and Wyatt that it was indeed sent by Grodan Karin!!! Sadly, the postcard didn't survive the journey, along with the chocolate Santa:( but, thankfully, you did a wonderful job wrapping and securing the coin and trackable heart necklace to the postcard that they were not harmed:) Riley helped me unwrap the packages that evening with great excitement and a few woofs. Thank you so much Karin for the cool GeoJelly personal coin (now we have two in our collection) and the pretty trackable heart necklace-I've never seen one of these before. Riley and I hope your holidays have been bright and cheerful...thanks again!

Wow, am I glad to read this. I have a trade going with Claire and was going to tell her today that I would send out another coin to you but... email was going slow on my computer so I thought I do it tomorrow...and now I don´t have to send another. So glad you liked them. The heart necklace is my AE for designing that coin for Oakcoins/geoswag, they sold 3 other versions at geoswag last february. Only 15 made.

Our holiday was nice and now I feel good about you getting the mission from us.

All the best.

Wow...it came here just in time! I'm still surprised that it took that long to get here....it must've seen quite a bit on its journey. That's interesting about the heart necklace...Riley and I feel very lucky to have received one:) Thanks again!

[eseurat]

 

Riley and I would like to thank Claire and Wyatt for hosting this mission. This was the first mission we signed-up for and it was a great one. You two did a wonderful job of keeping track and following up on delayed missions. We hope you had a wonderful holiday and a great New Year!!!

 

Hugs to you and Wyatt,

 

Erin and Riley

 

[+Laval K-9]

Thanks Erin for the nice words. We enjoyed hosting this mission, everyone did a good job.

 

Still have a few people we didn't heard about, Wyatt keeps an eye on them until everyone has received their mission

 

It was fun to organize and I intend to do it again

 

Hugs to you and Riley,

Claire and Wyatt Earp

[+millieballon]

Unfortunateley no mission here. My mission person told when she has send it and tried to stay in touch.

That is what counts for me.

 

Dutch post has made several mistakes end of november beginning of december.

Four pathtag trades and 1 mission to me got missing. On my sending side to the USA all my 80 exchanges cards got missing. They were send in 3 parcels without tags to be mailed individual in the USA. Also a Sinterklaas gift to an American boy did not arrive.

oh my god, sooo many packages got lost?!?!?! What a pity :o

 

I also would like to thank Claire and Wyatt for this mission. It was my first one and definitely not the last one (actually I am joining another one right now). It was really fun to find and to get the right coins for the mission and then it was somehow like getting a child again that can't wait for the big surprise . I hope you can't get as addicted to missions as I got addicted to geocoins but I am not really sure about that . So thank you again, you did a great job! I will allways remember my first mission!

[+Laval K-9]

Missions addiction and coins addictions probably go hand in hand

 

Thanks yanagi! I'm glad to see you enjoyed your first mission and joined in an other one

 

I'll wait a few days to see if those who didn't receive their mission will hopefully get them. If not, a generous soul offered me its help

I am so sorry that your mission didn't get there , Anthony will be so disappointed. He loved your pic of the balloon critter and spent about 10 min sorting through our small (but growing) coin collection to find "just the right one". I do hope that it might eventually show up, please send me an email if it does.

This in an update for the missing missions

 

The following participants will receive a replacement mission:

drneal

TreasureKid's - Kaleb

MillieBallon

Fairyhoney

 

Thanks to grodan&fiabus, Hanukah Harry, TonyaLynnm and kini_ont for their generous help

 

Still haven't heard from ftomar so, I prefer to wait before making a decision.

 

Hopefully the second missions will find their way to their recipients. Please keep us posted

[+AlliedOz]

Being the sender of TreasureKid's - Kaleb mission I can assure you that it was

A: Sent

B: The time frame for mail from me to the US and back the other way can exceed 30+ days so it is just border line for the maximum time now considering when I posted it (it can take as little as 12 days)

C: The cacher has not logged in since the 4th of Jan, so they maybe on Holidays or just busy and the mission has arrived but not been posted.

D: If the mission has failed to arrive after time period I'm more than willing to resend after all it is my responsibility when signing up.

E: I just realised this looks like a whine, it is not

 

So thanking others for stepping upto my mission but I'm confident it is nothing more than a Mail delay followed by life getting in the way, hence no log in since the 4th.. Once confirmed status I'll sort it out.

 

Cheers

I never doubt that all the missions were sent the first time

 

I could have waited a big longer but after receiving a few e-mails of people which were ready to send a replacement mission, I decided to go ahead. If someone ends up receiving both missions, it will be up to them to decide if they want to thank the second sender in any kind of way which by the way is not necessary at all

 

By the way, AlliedOz, I know it's really not a whine. Being the owner of Wyatt Earp, a German Shepherd I can tell when it's a whine or not

Sorry all I have been viewing the forum but I don't post a lot, so until trying to post this I didn't realize I was even logged out. Now on to question at hand: No Kaleb has not received his card yet but as was already posted mail is not always the fastest. Also we are in an area where snow has caused a bunch of mess so I am also up for waiting a while longer to see if it shows up. Between the holidays, normal mail timing and the weather it is passable it is just delayed.
