Bought, written and posted. (yeah, I’m not very handy with the glitter… sosume) I do hope you’ll forgive me for my lame jokes and bad puns 😉 ---

> [@Suse](#): > > Mine will no doubt be late, but they will be mailed before Friday! Well, I think a couple of late ones will be kind of nice. I haven’t done my e-cards yet. I think I will do them tomorrow. Hurrah! ---

My friend gave me a ride to the Hapeville, Ga. all night Post Office. Mailed! I used kits so they’re not really homemade, but I like them. No glitter though. ---

Okay, okay, I’m a little slow. But they’re going out tonight. Or in the morning. 😃 ---

I sent mine this morning. I hope they arrive intact, since a few were a little elaborate. If you see your postal delivery worker engulfed in glitter, you’ll know my card has arrived. ---

Oops, I’ve had a casualty. I guess I tried to sneak one out without putting a stamp on it and it came back to me. :o **gardentraveler** , I sent it back out tonight but yours may be a little late! Sorry! ---

Sorry to everyone getting one from me - most are posted but they may still take 3 weeks to arrive. I went **VERY** heavy on the glitter by the way. I wonder what customs will think? ---

All but one of mine went out today. I ran out of a critical component! If said critical component is nice and dry tomorrow, I’ll get it in the mail post haste. ---

Mine are all finished, the envelopes are addressed, and I bought stamps last night. They will go out today, as long as the rain slows enough for me to make it to the mailbox and back. ---

Mine are on the way to the PO today! Some of you - especially the international addys - may not receive until after V-Day since I have currently misplaced my time-stopping-watch… again. ---

I decided to do mine in the style of a lovelorn 5th grader. So if you giggle when you open it, it’s ok. It’s meant to be kind of funny and simple. ---

Mine went into the mail yesterday morning right after the post office opened. No glitter glue this year - I couldn’t find that Michael’s bag! :smack: Can you imagine?! I suspect some will arrive -after- Valentine’s day; hopefully those sendees will simply take delight in the card. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2009-valentines-day-card-exchange/480853.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2009-valentines-day-card-exchange/480853.md?page=5)
