I was thinking of holding on to my address list until Easter. And by that time, I should have a little time to be creative and have some fun! But I guess any holiday is a good one to get cards on! How about President’s day? Yeah, I know…it’s a little late. But still… ---

I had to take out Hanukhah, because it feels to be the most religious. I know Easter is religious, but you can go the way of ultra-bunnies and ignore the resurrection thing if you like. And same with Christmas! So all the others, yes. When is St. Paddy’s Day? ---

The flood of cards has slowed to a trickle. ☹🙂 I would love to send and receive cards on other holidays. This was a lot of fun. And I got these a couple of days ago, but only just now have I had the time to get online and thank **Button Jockey** and **lezlers** for their cards (mmmm…chocolate…)! ---

So let’s do St. Paddy’s Day. Who’s up for it? Should I try to coordinate it? I’ve never done that before. How early should I start the thread, or does someone else want to do it? ---

Hey, everyone. Everyone’s sent me such lovely cards! You guys are the best. I’d like to send a big, fat thank you to: **Twickster** (love the bookmark, BTW–it’s now sitting on my desk, waiting for whatever novel I read next) **Lvgeogeek** –man, I haven’t seen a Hello Kitty valentine in ages. That was a very cool blast from the past! **Lezlers** –I loved both the personalized poem and the choco-bit, which has just been devoured. **Shirt Ninja 13** Thanks for the Winnie the Pooh maze! **Avarie537** –in a lovely lavendar envelope, no less. (The card, I mean–not Avarie.) **Jess** –You can count on my fighting ignorance with you anytime **Portia** –Great quotes and a lovely card. **AwSnappity** –What a cool, quirky, handmade card! Very charming. **Pandora** –The card you sent was very pretty. **Izzybella** –Love the tattoo! Thanks. **Capn Pitt** –Great haiku. **LilyoftheValley** –What a sweet handmade card! **Canadiangirl** –Great glitter. I should use some of that on my cards, myself. **Ceiling Whacks** –You had great glitter too, but of a very different kind. **Annie X-mas** –Snoopy! With a maze. Way fun. **BrattiAtti** –Another creative homemade card. I’ve got some pretty neat acts to follow! **The Punkyova** –The Punkylet is a cutie. Love the photo! **amarinth** –I like the design on the front. Was that a linoleum print? I’ve had a nasty respiratory infection going on for quite a while now, so I haven’t been doing very much for the last two weeks or so. That’s why I still haven’t mailed out valentines. I’m very sorry I haven’t them out yet; I hope you’ll understand. It’s only been yesterday and today that I’m starting to feel like a human being. The valentines everyone’s sent me have certainly been helping to cheer me up while I’ve been sick. I’ll be mailing everyone a card in the couple of days. Hugs to everyone! ---

Hey–I just realized that I left a few people out. Thanks also to: **dbygawdcapn** –Your town’s postmark is something else. Did you realize that? The postcard was marked "Feb. 8, Loveville, MD."with a big heart and a cupid. **Monica** –Thanks for the handmade card, with my name in glitter puffy paint, no less. **Anaamika** –Thanks for the handmade card, with the taxi and the ladybug. **phall01006** --A very pretty handmade card, with lovely star confetti. The choice of stamp was a nice touch. **Viva** –Thanks so much for the pretty card. **Susie Derkins** –Wow. This was very cool! Not just a card, but a grab bag of fun stuff. Thanks so much!
