Honestly, if anyone reading this thinks it’s a silly little thing, it’s not! It’s my favorite exchange of the year. You get to see other people’s creativity (or lack thereof), and it’s really really fun to get cute, silly, frilly, cool valentines in the mail. It gives you something to look forward to at the end of the day - check your mailbox and see who else has sent a bit o’ love that day! ---

Which reminds me – **Sunspace** did a hand-drawn one either last year or the year before that was so cool it’s framed and in my living room – yo **Sunspace**! Sign up for this! ---

Monday morning bump… a day and a half late. Oh, well. Don’t be shy! There’s still plenty of “room” (in comparison to the last couple of years, I think). You only have a few days left to sign up, so get on it (please, oh please!). I want to spend all of the 14th opening and reading and oohing and aahing and I’m sure you get the point by now so I’ll shut up. 😉 [SDMBVDay2006@gmail.com](mailto:SDMBVDay2006@gmail.com) ---

**Anaamika** and **Mr Bus Guy** have been added. **The Punkyova** is halfway there; I’ve sent you an email requesting more details. 🙂 We could always use more, so don’t hesitate to get your name in the mix.\* \*And here we have the reason I’m not in sales. I feel dirty, whoring myself like this. 😃 ---

**BrattiAtti** , you should set your alarm for tomorrow morning at 12:01AM and get busy sending addresses! 😃 ---

> [@picunurse](#): > > **BrattiAtti** , you should set your alarm for tomorrow morning at 12:01AM and get busy sending addresses! 😃 Er, I’m working on it. I forget that busting out the lists takes a long time. (9 hours so far. But I’m blaming myself for that one. Whoever does the organizing next year, only offer two or three options for how many cards each participant can choose to do.) The lists will be to you “shortly” (before tomorrow, anyways ;)). ---

The lists are out and flying your way. The txt attachment should be called the same as your user name. If I sent you the wrong list, please let me know. Either email address I’ve posted here will work. I spent the time to straight-exchange everyone, so the work you put out is (I hope) what you get back. Because of the numbers I was dealing with, a few of you fall somewhat short of the number of cards you requested. I’m really sorry. If you’re in this for the giving and not the receiving, I can give you more names & whatnot. However, that’ll be strictly volunteer on your part; you will not receive anything in return. Some of you have a special request\* that I added at the bottom of your list. Read it and DO NOT feel obligated (you really don’t have to!). Um… any further questions? \*Those who don’t specifically said something (I don’t want to give it away too terribly much) to make me think you wouldn’t want this particular request. If you really want to know, email’s always open. 🙂 ---
