As of lunchtime (an my visit to the post office) I can offically say mine are on their way. I didn’t get to be as creative as last year (my dog kept trying to eat the glue) but they are all at least somewhat personalized, and hand addressed. I have to get some points for that right 🙂 ---

Got my first one today…right after mine went in the mail. Coincidence? I think not!! **dbygawdcapn** I loved the quote. ---

**dbygawdcapn** , your quotes were perfect! You hit one of my personal favorites, and the one for Dan made us both laugh. ---

I just got home from a really bad day at work and found a big healthy dose of SDMB love in my mail box. Thanks dbgawdcapn for the nifty quotation. Definitely got a chuckle out of that. I needed that today!! ---

Mine go on the mail tomorrow, finishing up right now. Strangely, though, I have one extra - can someone email me an address of someone else who’d appreciate a Doper Val? Send it to portia327 at yahoo dot com, please. I’d hate for these pretty things to go to waste. ---

> [@Jess](#): > > I love the V-Day exchange! I got my first 4 today – 2 neat homemade ones from **Anaamika** and **Monica** Thanks. :o I always do these things once, and then read the threads/see what I got to get all kinds of new ideas for next year. So next year I’m in again, and I have some great thoughts! ---

Okay – mine are made – not the most inspired ever, but at least some of them will get there on time. Thanks to **Anaamika** and **dbygawdcapn** , whose lovely offerings arrived today! ---

Finished! Now I just need to buy stamps tomorrow morning. You guys have no idea how much rubber cement I inhaled, all in the name of Doper love. Thus far, I’ve received valentines from **C3** , **Susie Derkins** , and **vivalostwages**. I’m hanging them all up on my bulletin board, where my roommate is already jealous. ---

Mine are just as original as last year’s (made with a computer program) due to my total forgetfulness as to the fact that V-Day is on Monday! I’ve got them all made, now I just have to … borrow … some address labels from work, print those up and send 'em off! ---

Got a bunch of Valentines today! Thanks **dbygawdcapn** , **Susie Derkins** , **vivalostwages** , and **ChoosyChipsandCeilingWhacks**. **CC&CW** ’s card was badly chewed up in the mail, though. I hope she really hadn’t intended to send me a sticky broken heart! ☹ ---

So far, I’ve been delighted toi receive, in the following order, Valentines from - **dbygawdcapn, anaamika, Medea’s Child, vivalostwages, and phall0106.** They are Lovely, of course, and I have to say it’s so wonderful to get non-bills in the mail! Plus all the Doper good vibes, which are plentiful and welcomed. My special praise to those fanciful handmade cards - I’m jealous of those so-very-creative persons who whip up these gorgeous things that are far beyond my own personal talent!!
