Beth is So happy to have been right: she got her Mission before the end of the year! She really was blown away by the Creatures Path Tags through the seasons. The coin and cool Notebook were well appreciated, too! (The Gizmo PathTag with the bare bottom was a big hit lol)

 

Once her Mission Partner has posted that they received their mission from her (USPS says it got there long ago) we can post completed on her Mission.
