I don’t know about you, but i gots more! I didn’t pick up tomorrow, so this is two day’s worth. **Krisfer the Cat** - a really neat photo card **Sunspace** - Aaah! Polar bear! **Phall0106** - I guess that _wasn’t_ candy. Was pretty, tho. **Punkyova** - a really nice custom card with a photo of her and child 🙂 **Jackelope** - what a unique guy to guy 'tine **Jess** - a great SDMB custom card **Skittles** - she _likes_ me! very pretty **Adhemar** - whimsical loveliness. Nice **Lynn** - POP UP! and tons of hearts. All over my desk. 😉 **AnniXmas** - sent me Pooh! A twofer, actually. I like Tigger **SexyWriter** - what a beautiful card! **Avarie537** - another great SDMB custom card. And a nice liitle message. (thanks) **Aries** - a HUGE heart. Cost $9.32 to send, it was so big. From simple to uniquely crafted, these have all been special. And I have a lot to reach for next year. ---

I’ve been trying to get on the boards since Saturday to say that my Valentines won’t arrive until next week, but by some weird twist of fortune, every time I’ve tried, the boards have been down. So, the people on my list will all receive some lovely handmade bookmarks with pretty calligraphy sometime next week (or later, as I am suspicious of my mailperson.) The Valentines that I’ve gotten, though, are all wonderful. I’ve developed a healthy fear of glitter after opening some on the bus and covering myself with sparklies. Oh, the sparklies! The terror! Big flakes of glory, coming to smite me! Ye gods! In other words, thank you, Dopers. ---

Well, I finally was successful in getting my list two days ago; bought the stuff to make them last night (you can’t buy actual valentine cards this long after the fact:)), and will, hopefully, mail my first batch today. All the cards have been very cool (you Dopers sure do like your confetti, don’t you? 🆒 ) It might take me a few days to get all of them finished and out the door, but, looking on the bright side, some of you may still be getting valentine greetings into March! ---

More thank you’s to: **twickster** - you all must have read my “reading on the pot” thread! I now have TWO cool bookmarks to use. **rocking chair** - until I deciphered your “mark”, I was kind of going batty. Very cute handmade card though. **Krisfer the Cat** - beautiful photo! **skittles** - just so you know, I like the candy (skittles) a lot. Your card was just as sweet. **ultraviolet** - cute and artsy card, thank you. **Aries28** - big red hearts gave me warm fuzzies galore! **featherlou** - I do believe I liked your Daffy card 🙂 . **Stargazer** - very delicate and dainty card, so cute! **dantheman** - bring on the scoobie snacks, my friend. and as some other Dopers have said, **Horseflesh** has WAY too much time on his hands! Very cool and oh, so relevent! Thanks, man. Thanks so much everyone for the good vibes this month! I have some more to send out since my list had some addresses missing and I ask forgiveness about the delay. Maybe we should do this for St. Patrick’s Day, too!? _I ‘ave an idea formin’ in my 'ead_ ( **Horseflesh** should know what I’m talking about! If not, 1000 flogs of the whip, my friend.) ---

I got a very pretty personalised card from **Amarinth**. She has beautiful penmanship. I wonder what her feet look like? Well, it looks like the 'tines are tapering down. At least, until the later day sents start to show. Yes, that’s a pun. A bad, irreverent, religious pun. I’m such a maroon. ---

Yes, but an amusing maroon you are. It made me grin. I’ve sent my second batch, so some of y’all still have cards to come (albeit lame, handmade cards). ---

> [@norinew](#): > > I’ve sent my second batch, so some of y’all still have cards to come (albeit lame, handmade cards). They can’t be both lame and handmade, it’s a logical impossibility. I haven’t posted a card by card update, but I have a whole shelf full of wonderful cards that just makes my day. I went out and got flowers to put with them, they were so perfect!

I’m trying to decide if it would be really lame to make a collage out of these. Please, if it would be really lame, someone tell me now before I go buy a piece of posterboard… ---

Not only incredibly _not_ lame, but such a great idea, I might do the same, myself. I’ve not been able to bear getting rid of them, but have been undecided exactly _what_ to do with them!
