Plus, assorted goodies including Christmas pencils, a cool compass, a lanyard, dog ornament, and geocaching tattoos! Our 6-year-old cacher loves those tattoos! Our geodog, Brutus, can't wait to have his picture taken on our next caching adventure to put into the ornament. This is the first year that we have done geocoin exchanges and we've had a great time!

+Ashallond Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 Well, it's a week past deadline, so I guess it's time to state where everyone is at. as best as I can tell based on confirmations on the thread of sent packages, or received packages...everyone has sent their package except for a adult/child combo. I'm going to send one more email tonight and if I don't get a reply I'll post them in the thread. Can the following people confirm whether or not they have received a package? Some I know won't have gotten them yet based on sent dates, but I figure I'll put everyone on the list. Either send me an email on my account or post here. either is fine with me.

+EyeD10T Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 My 10 year old received her package and was super thrilled with it. I am not sure of the Geo-ID of the person that sent it, but the package came from Germany. She wrote the following note: Thank you so much for my package. I was really happy with it! I really liked the different kinds of chocolate and coins, even the teddy bear, log books, caches and snowglobe. The one reason I really liked the chocolate is because it was from Germany. It was super yummy! The note was cute and my dad used a translator application to read what it said. Thanks again for the amazing package.

Time to post. I received a great package from sheltiedogshowlover, Kaylee, Luke Leia & Dawn! Just like at the shelter I was adopted from does, the little decorations just above the christmas card indicate things like blankets, or paper towels, garbage bags, cleaning supplies, ect., had been donated by these wonderful doggies and their pet, to the Lollipop Farm (a local humane society. Another donation was also made to the happy tails rescue in Kathy's memory. I think drneal liked this present the most of all. the coins were a signature coin from sheltiedogshowlover, 2 good dog blessing rings (one for me and one for myheine,) and a 2008 christmas snow globe. I appreciate the thought that went into this mission. I would also like to thank Ashallond for putting the mission together. Arf! Quote Link to comment

+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Firstly, I must apologise to Ashallond and everyone, as shortly after I joined this mission, I was *shock horror* banned from Groundspeak forums! My crime? A signature line that I have had for between three and four YEARS stating that I leave shiny round items with a hole in them and a number on the back, logable on another site in geocaches. Apparently, they are Groundspeak competitors ... who knew? I note that the package I sent to Sweden was received and the package I received from Pennsylvania has arrived. Unfortunately, my street address was missing from the package and it had just my town on, so the Post Office, although it took them a little time, managed to find me! I received lots of chocolate, a Christmas decoration and three lovely coins, my favourite of course is the Laval k9 one :) Thank you very much Secret Santa, and many thanks to Ashallond for patience with my banning predicament.

+sheltiedogshowlover Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 The down side to sending packages over seas is that you can't track it like you can state side... that being said I hope that lorca.nl's package makes it safe and sound. Quote Link to comment
