Not too late? I was thinking of skipping this year ā€“ but I just noticed that two of the bits of art on my refrigerator (and I curate my refrigerator very carefully ā€“ not a single pizza coupon in sight) are from last yearā€™s exchange. So Iā€™m in ā€“ but since my hesitation was about my ā€œIā€™m unemployed, no money for frivolitiesā€ status, Iā€™ll have to skip international this year. ---

Nobody gets lists until they agree to not let the personal lives of other dopers negatively affect their own card-making-and-sending process.

Iā€™m with **gardentraveler** - I like it when Valentines arrive afterwards; it really brightens the day, especially in mid-February! **madrabbitwoman** , you should have done like I did a few months back - stocked up on glitter glue at Michaelā€™s! LOL You never know when youā€™re going to need some. šŸ˜‰ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2009-valentines-day-card-exchange/480853.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2009-valentines-day-card-exchange/480853.md?page=3)
