Doper Valentines Exchange

I put mine the the mail box last night. Some of you may be getting yours a wee bit late but, as I said last year: late valentines are good – it makes the love last longer!

This is always so much fun! I got my first bunch yesterday – Harry Potter, glitter, confetti and a cool bookmark (good idea, Twickster. I stick all my valentines up on the mantel so everyone who comes over can see how popular I am…

I got two yesterday, which is good–It means that other Dopers are getting theirs out as late as I am, which is today.

Got yours yesterday, earthpuppy. So pretty, and so clever! I love it!

awwww thank you :slight_smile:

It can be a bit of a pain, since no one can pronouce it (you’d be amazed by the names I’ve been called in role calls… ) But I’ve always liked it :slight_smile:

(those who haven’t received their valentines from me yet will just have to wait ans see what my real name is )

E-mail should be in my profile… just make sure the subject line includes SDMB… or something to make me not delete your message as spam :slight_smile:

I got my first one yesterday! Thanks archergal!

Most of mine went out Tuesday, and the final 7 were finished last night. But I left them at home today! I may be able to get them in the mail box before pick-up tonight, otherwise, the “last” 7 people on the list will be getting theirs a little late.

I told my husband that I’m going to take down the Christmas cards and put up my Valentines!

I so agree… thats why I used it in a story I wrote last year.

Blonde ? Are you the card from Texas with the name that is so AMAZINGLY close to a male singer’s that I looked at it and said “No way! Why would HE be writing me?” :smiley: Bet you get loads of jokes about that one!

from under a ton of heart-shaped, shiny confetti comes a happy voice

WOW, folks!! Today, I got valentines from: Theo P, ScubaBen, earthpuppy, Pandora, FairyChatMom, Blonde (you scare me, tee hee!),romansperson (I soooo needed a bookmark, thanks!), and earthpuppy (WOW, pretty!)… thank you all for the Valentine vibes! Next year, I’m making my own, darn it all! Don’t egg my house because of my storebought cards, k? :wink:

I love you all and mine are still going to be late.

You’re welcome! And, blimey, the trans-Atlantic post didn’t half do well - I only posted the things on Monday!

(They’re rolling in this end too, thanks Scuba_Ben, SexyWriter, Pandora, Avarie537 and LurkMeister!)

Wow! I am amazed at the creativity of my fellow Dopers! earthpuppy – Wow! How gorgeous! Which isn’t to slight archergal, Andros_X (whose contribution I opened a wee bit gingerly), scout1222 (really? your very favorite out of all the thousands and thousands of us? :wink: ), sexywriter, lurkmeister, Blonde, and FCM. Plus romansperson, whose contribution arrived yesterday.

Okay! I bought more stamps today – I’ll fire up the Valentine-Making Factory tonight and get going on the couple of dozen that I haven’t done yet…

I LOVE Valentine’s Day, Doper Style!

I got 5 so far - Blonde’s came in yesterday, and today I got FCM, Scuba Ben, Lurk Meister and NoClueBoy…
You guys should start getting mine tomorrow…

I got a couple more today - FairyChatMom (cute doggy!!) and NoClueBoy.

Now, NCB must REALLY like me, because I got not one but two valentines! No, really!

Now here’s the REALLY funny part - one of them wasn’t signed.

:smiley:

OK, all of mine went in the mail today! I cannot count, so the last three people on my list got storebought cards with good wishes, not the personalized cards that everyone else got. Sorry!!!

I"m so happy! I cleared a shelf for them, and have a lovely valentines display to look at that just cheers me up! Thanks, everyone!!!

speaking of cool names, lurkmeister has a very cool name.

i’m starting to feel warm and fuzzy… there were quite a few cards on my mail spot today.

i’m def. gonna have to start on next years now!

I got seven today!!!

What a treat! Thanks to you all. (My hubby doesn’t know what to think… he thinks I’m having some sort of “extracurricular activity” with all these folks!)

Thank you archergal, twickster, SanguineSpider, and romansperson. I had a lot of fun making them!

I dragged my sick, achy self out of bed this morning, expecting to find bills and junk mail in the mailbox, and instead I had NINE VALENTINES! Holy cow, that was great!

So is everyone getting a little tired of receiving all their valentines so promptly? I mean, really, it’s so predictable to actually get your valentines on or before Valentine’s Day, right? Want a little more variety to it? Well you’re in luck!

Mine are going to be late. I promise they’ll be in the mail tomorrow!

Yippee! I received five more today. Thanks so much to Pandora, dantheman, Scuba_Ben, and Averie537. Oh, and NoClueBoy, thanks for the compliment, you really know how to flatter a girl. :slight_smile:

My SO sent mine out on Tuesday, so people should be getting them soon.
I love Valentine’s Day!

Today’s thanks go out to Scuba_Ben, Avarie537, and SexyWriter. This is awesome! I’m doing it every year!

Hit the motherlode today - ELEVEN!

Heart-shaped sequins all over the place!

FCM* - cute kitten!
Steve Wright - whose picture is that?
dantheman* - Harry Potter
Blonde - love to you, too
SexyWriter - did you make that? very cool
Pandora - very pretty name
Scuba_Ben - looks familiar (identical to one of the four I sent out)
Avarie537 - cute chick!
Maggy - fancy fold-out
look!ninjas - lovely poem
Shannablu - thanks for the kind thought

This was a great idea; definitely going to do it again next year!

*who wasn’t on my list - fortunately I have extras I can mail out tomorrow

This day has definitely ended better than it began.

My illness that has laid me low the past week is pretty much gone.

I passed my performance review at work today, so I have a job for another year!

And…

When I got home, I found six valentines in my mailbox! :eek: :eek: :slight_smile: :cool:

Thanks to Featherlou, LurkMeister, Avarie537, Pandora, Theo P, and earthpuppy! And the three from yesterday, from Lynn, FairyChatMom, and Steve Wright!:slight_smile: :slight_smile:
