Wow, **jsgoddess** , just … wow. Maybe you should change your name to **foamgoddess**? And thanks also to **tarragon918** – I’ve stuck the changable rose/ladybug to my monitor. ---

More! Thank you **annie xmas** , **pixilated** , **tarragon918** , and **freckafree**! Kittehs, philosophy, love-joy-and peace - exactly right for me! **freckafree** : Amazing! I love the whole idea and I may never open it! I don’t want to blow the surprise so I won’t elaborate. More photos to come - my office computer doesn’t want to play nice - I’ll do it at home. ---

**annie xmas, jali, sarai** , thank you so much! The cards are really cute and now I’m sort of embarrassed at my lame attempt. I’ll do better next year! ---

Today’s haul: cards and mementos from: **freckafree** (I, too, am reluctant to open it), **Worm** , **phall** , **Pandora** and **tarragon**. It’s cool to get something from Iceland (no pun intended, really); how did you know that I’d love to see the Northern Lights someday. And your poetry was…poetic? I always feel less than clever when I start receiving Valentines. Mine are primarily colorful. Thanks everyone!!! I’ll take pics over the weekend. GT ---

Thank you! **gardentraveler** , glad you liked it! (And I hope your postal delivery person was entertained, as well.) ---

**WormTheRed** ’s card got shipped off today. I needed a prototype for pricing the rest of the postage. 😃 The rest of you… well, sorry, but I qualified the phrasing on the cards to reflect the fact that they’ll arrive late. Out tomorrow! And, to those who helped out with the Secret Mission, we’ve been busted. Thank you! BrattiAtti, aka Perpetually Late Girl ---

Wooo hooo! A haul of cards today, from **jali** , **twickster** , **Susie Derkins** , **Annie X-mas** and **jsgoddess**! Thank you all so much!! And **jsgoddess** has a special talent for glitter glue (bless her heart!), feathers and spangles! 😃 ---

Whee!!! I got my first three today! I am now officially covered in glitter and heart confetti. Thank you **KnitWit** , **jsgoddess** and **jali**. The Doper crew knows no bounds in the creativity department. ---

The e-cards are coming in, thank you all! And to **freckafree** , you have no idea what you started when you led me to that site. I loved it and sent out President’s Day cards to everyone I could think of! ---

I loved it and sent out President’s Day cards to everyone I could think of! I had the same reaction when I went there the first time, too, thanks to a couple of Dopers who posted the link in the e-card site thread a while back. ---

Hi All, I sent mine on Thursday so they should be there at some point. So far I have cards from Pandora and Annie X-Mas which makes my desk look a lot brighter and happier than usual! Thanks so much 🙂 ---

More from **Avarie537** and **gardentraveler!** Thanks, guys, they are so cute! And my husband is wondering who all these people are who are sending me Valentines. ---

Thank you! > > **gardentraveler** , glad you liked it! (And I hope your postal delivery person was entertained, as well.) I can take a picture of mine, if you want. I should really have taken this week off to be home when the mail was delivered. I’m sure our carrier thinks it’s odd that I get more Valentines than Christmas cards. And, well, the atypical ones are sure to have turned his head. Today brought cards from **avarie** , **Susie Derkins** , **Pixilated** , and **freespritisi**. That bookmark is awesome, by the way, **freespiritisi**! Thanks everyone for all the smiles!
