Wow, thanks to everyone for all the cards! My mail carrier must think I am super popular. 🙂 On another note, I was straightening up the mail pile when _gulp_ I found a valentine that I thought I had sent out but apparently it didn’t make it to the mail box. **madrabbitwoman** , yours is on it’s way this afternoon and I apologize for the delay! ---

I did not have a good day on Tuesday. Morning with the accountant, finishing up 2008, then afternoon with the office Ron. I left late, just to time to wave the bus goodbye. So I stopped at 7-11 to get some cappuccino and half-price V-day chocolate,and walked home. When I got home there were 10 BIG BEAUTIFUL VALENTINES waiting for me. I had a fun night drinking cappuccio, eating chocolates and opening V-day cards. Thaks to everyone! And Love, Peace, & Joy Always. ---

> [@madrabbitwoman](#): > > So have any of you American folks got something from Australia yet? Yes! Two things! One glow-in-the-dark card with lots of goodies included, and one card from somebunny. 🙂 I’ve also gotten a haul from so many others: Anaglyph, The Punkyova, freckafree, Suse, Knitwit, Lionne, amarinth, ShelliBean, phall, plus some others that I managed to leave behind in my mother’s car after opening. They’re all so wonderful. Freckafree, my mother is stealing your idea for some project of hers. 🙂 Anaglyph, everyone at work is so envious of my tulips. I love them. The office dog keeps coming into my office and rolling around in the glitter. 😃 ---

> [@jsgoddess](#): > > Freckafree, my mother is stealing your idea for some project of hers. 🙂 Hey, I stole it from my sister, so we’re just payin’ it forward! 🙂 (If you didn’t already figure it out, the opening is hidden by the mailing label.) ---

> [@jsgoddess](#): > > Yes! Two things! > > One glow-in-the-dark card with lots of goodies included, and one card from somebunny. 🙂 I never actually got to test the glow in the dark one. I would be really happy to know it works. Oh and the bunny is quite partial to rolling in the glitter too - sparkly! ---

Woo hoo! I finally rescued all of my cards from my mom’s car. 😃 Thanks to Pixilated (cows!), Schnuckiputzi (seeds!), Avarie, Gardentraveler, (again) to freckafree since I now know the secret for opening the container, and a huge thanks to freespiritisi for the wonderful customized beadwork and the little remembrances for my nieces and my SIL. You’re all the best. ---

Got another haul of cards … unfortunately, I opened them while at the lab this morning! Let’s just say that there’s a little sparkle in the carpeting there. 😉 LOL Thank you all so much, esp. **madrabbitwoman** - what a beautiful card you made! And especially loved the post card of your town. Thanks!! Can we do Easter/Spring cards too, btw? 😉 ---
