Just wanted to put in a plug for the USPS web site, figuring out international postage is easy! ---

I’ll be happy to send a few more valentines, if you want to send me more names, **BrattiAtti**. They might not make it by the day, but it will still be fun. I got all the other ones in the mail yesterday. 🙂 ---

That flu that’s going around just got to me – I’m not going to work on mine till I’m feeling a hell of a lot better, which means they’ll probably be late. Sorry about that. ---

Just wanted to say I am covered in red, yellow, and blue paint. It’s on my fingers, my nose, and in my hair! I had all kinds of fun creating the valentines, and I hope y’all enjoy them. **C3** , yours went in the mail today. I’ve finished **amarinth** and **Anaamika** ’s, and they should be mailed tomorrow. ---

Just got back from Michaels where I picked up some silly little foam things for making cards. Some lucky Dopers are soon to receive cards co-designed by **ValleyGirl** (1 year old). That is, if she doesn’t put all the foam things in her mouth. ---

> [@BrattiAtti](#): > > **Iceland\_Blue** : I never received your information. I didn’t even think about it because I denied your gender request (refer to page one) and figured you changed your mind. Send me your info and I’ll work something out as far as the lists go. > > Anyone else looking to sign up: Since I’ll be shooting out one name at least, I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to add a few more. You have until 6 PM Pacific time (9 PM Eastern) today (Tues. Feb 8 '05) to send me an email with your user name, real name, and RL address. After that, sorry, look forward to next year. I dunno what happened.I sent the email and assumed that was that.Checking now I see I didn’t make it onto the lists in the thread. The email wasn’t returned undeliverable or address not known so some other dude with a similar email now has my details…just hope it’s a cute chick ---

I made mine last night, and they went out in this morning’s mail. Nothing fancy, but probably better than last years. ---

Mine have been mailed. They aren’t very creative–there is nothing handmade. However there is candy. And little tattoos. So, hey there’s some fun. ---

After enduring a evening of eye-rolling and “you’ve _got_ to be kidding me”'s from the boyfriend after he asked why I was so intensely studing the construction paper in Target, I decided I’ll be embarking on this little project while he’s not around. So ya’ll probably be getting yours right around V-day, maybe a day late depending on where everyone is… Everyone should probably know that I don’t have a single creative bone in my body. Consider yourself warned. 😃 ---

I finally got the bulk of the Valentines done. Now I just have to add the pieces of flair. Hopefully they’ll go out with Friday’s mail. ---

Alright! 😃 Mine are ready to go in tomorrow’s mail. They’re nothing special, but if you don’t get lousy poetry on Valentine’s Day, what kind of a holiday is it? ---

Half going in the mail, other half still to be made - they are probably going to be late - especially since all mine are international! ---

I mailed half of mine today. Last night I figured out how to print envelopes on my computer, which made life so much easier. The other half should be mailed by tomorrow, if everything goes well. ---

I love the V-Day exchange! I got my first 4 today – 2 neat homemade ones from **Anaamika** and **Monica** and 2 neat store-bought ones from **dbygawdcapn** and **vivalostwages**. I’ve got them up on my mantel for all to be jealous of. Oh, and mine are all finished – I missed the mailman today, but they’re all going out tomorrow. Looks like I’ll even be on time this year – although our international Dopers will probably be getting theirs late. ---

I get this every year from my loving family. Until they see the evidence that Dopers _LO-O-VE_ me lined up on the mantel. And they’re all sitting there with a big old stack of Valentine’s nothin’.
