I got a valentine from **EmilyG!** The candy lasted about fifteen seconds! ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks! Funny story: I saw the square box in my door, and it happened to be about the same size and shape as a box containing a fragile item someone had purchased from me via eBay. I picked it up, heard the rattling from within and thought, โ€œAw, shit! That piece broke in transit and the buyers is sending me the pieces.โ€ I was SO glad that was not what it was. ---

**FloatyGimpy** , one of these days I hope you will also get mine ๐Ÿ™‚ Iโ€™m starting to get a bit worried since none of mine have reached anyone yet. These past few days I got **gardentraveler** โ€™s card (thank you, I loved it) and **FloatyGimpy** โ€™s (I also loved it! thanks ๐Ÿ™‚ ). And today I got the last one, and the yummiest ๐Ÿ™‚ Thank you, **chickapicosa**!! I was on a self-imposed candy-buying ban, so the chocolatey treats you sent me were just the thing I needed ๐Ÿ™‚ Now back to waiting anxiously for the first one whoโ€™ll announce getting one of my cards ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ---

Sorry I havenโ€™t made it back to say thank everyone for the wonderful Valentines. Loved the intricate cutout from **amarinth** , the great handmade one from **FloatyGimpy** , the treats and cards from **EmilyG** and **ChickaPicosa** and **jools**. Hope I didnโ€™t get any of those mixed up. Itโ€™s been great to get everything. Donโ€™t worry, **Kay** ; itโ€™s not unusual for Valentines with a long way to travel to take a long time to arrive. ---
