Peace Symbol - MJ0275

Did you know? What we call the Peace Symbol originated at the copyrighted logo for the London-based Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. The symol superimposes the semaphore code for the letters N and D.

Made with CRYSTALLIZED™ – Swarovski Elements.

Clay Critters has been using Swarovski Elements since 1992. Since then we have used hundreds of thousands of their crystals in our products.

We’ve already included the tagline on our new trade show booth design (See you at the Surf Show!)  and our ad in Souvenirs Gifts & Novelties magazine.

Swarovski collectors can join the Swarovski Crystal Society, a global community of crystal enthusiasts. Members benefit from unique offers, events, sneak previews, classified news and more.

“The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment.”

Worldwide, geocachers turn to Geocaching.com as the center of the online activity for adding new caches, finding the coordinates of existing ones, and logging those your have found. There are 763,297 active geocaches around the world.

My cache, aptly called critters, is the tenth oldest in Indiana and second oldest in Tippecanoe County. For you geography fans, its latitude and longitude is N 40° 29.238, W 086° 51.841. I won’t tell you were its hidden, that’s your job!

When geocaching started in 2000, most of the participants were nerdy males with expensive toys, but that has changed. Now everyone is participating using cheaper GPS-enabled  devices, laptops, and smart phones. Many families stop by the cache as part of a day’s outing, or while traveling on a vacation grabbing caches along the way. And its not just men anymore; recently, four women and girls, from three generations in the same family, found the cache.
