Just when I’d pretty much forgotten about Valentine’s Day, I got a gorgeous handmade card from **BrattiAtti** with a beaded lizard on it. Thank you! (And thanks for organizing the exchange!) ---

I’ve been remiss in thanking all for the e-cards and Suse for her actual physical card! This has been way fun. Thanks, **BrattiAtti!** ---

Yay for the lizard! I got a card back today. It was undeliverable. But I forgot to bring it home and now I don’t remember who it was since I didn’t put usernames on them. Crap. ---

I’m worried that mine didn’t get where they were going. I put a piece of candy in each and I wonder if there was a problem. I hope not. At least I want you guys to know I TRIED! ---

I opened my cards last night. Thanks to everyone for participating and brightening my Square Root Day. Happy March Valentine’s! 😉 All of my cards are out in the world as of February 28th. If you haven’t received yours, it’s really and truly on its way. Thanks for not throwing me in the fire for, uh, extending the season. I individualized the lizards for each of you. Have fun figuring it out. ---

I received my be-yoo-tiful! card today,\*\* BrattiAtti\*\*. I love it and it was great to receive a bit more love in March. I’ll post the rest of the photos tonight or tomorrow. ---

> [@BrattiAtti](#): > > I individualized the lizards for each of you. Have fun figuring it out. Dang, you’re a rascal. This is driving me nuts. Is there some significance to the numbers and spacing of the beads in the tail? ---

Another lizard-receiver chimes in to say “Thank you for organizaing this, BrattiAtti.” And thanks to everyone to sent me anything and everything. It’s nice to feel popular. ---

A lizard reached Switzerland - Thank you, BrattiAtti! Did all my tulips get to their destination, or are any still missing? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2009-valentines-day-card-exchange/480853.md?page=8)
