SDMB Valentine Exchange '05

hey, lilyof the valley! got the elephant card! toooooo funny.

I went to pick up my mail this morning after skipping it for a couple of days and all I can say is “Wow”. It was overflowing with ads, bills, and lovely valentines from my fellow dopers. Thanks for all the bills guys. I was truly impressed with the effort you all put into these things. I took the easier route of post cards with a quote from my journal of quotes I keep handy, in case I see a snake. The only effort I put out was to drive a little bit out of my way to get a special postmark. In the batch today I received cards from **Anaamika, vivalostwages, monica, rocking chair, Medeas Child, phall0106, Annie X-mas, CapnPitt, Lily of the Valley, ** and Susie Derkins. Thanks to all!

Crap!!! I told my roomates to take my outgoing mail to the postoffice on monday. This included my valentine’s cards along with the overdue electric bill. Today I found out that the stack of envelopes is still sitting on their desk! I’m on my way out the door now to mail them. So sorry for the delay! :frowning: Those dopers in California may well get theirs on Monday, others will take a couple more days.

Sorry Again!

dby, I especially liked the quote on the postcard you sent. Got several others today as well. Very nice…thanks, everyone!

Anaamika and monica, I got your valentines today! I loved feeling my name in raised letters, and the little “London” stamp was too cute.

Alrighty. Either the Post Office is not giving me much love this Valentine’s Day, or you Dopers are trying to tell me something. As previously mentioned, I got a broken heart from ChoosyChipsandCeilingWhacks. Today, I got a decapitated angel from rocking chair!

rocking chair:

I’m guessing the bookmark was not supposed to be in two pieces? The envelope was torn open, so it’s a good thing you used a sticky in there, or I would probably not have had a bookmark at all! I may tape it back together, just because I like the idea of marking my books with decapitated and dewinged angels.

Mine went out today - they’re kind of…um…let’s call it “experimental”

They should arrive soon.
In the meantime, I got lovely cards from Anaamika, dbygawdcapn, phall0106, CapnPitt, and monica.

Thanks!

good heavens!!!

there should have been a vellum bookmark and a bookbead bookmark and a sticky pink postit.

sounds like someone at the post office wanted a valentine.

Anaamika, I received your valentine today…on Valentine’s Day! Yay! It’s beautiful - thanks.

Sorry, that should have read Anaamika.

I’m glad everybody liked my cards! I was afraid they’d be too simple.

I only just took down the postcards from the Postcard Exchange and put up the Valentine’s Day cards in their place. I have a wall just reserved for this kind of stuff.

Thanks!

Wow! I was away for the weekend, so I just checked my mailbox today and it was full! I got valentines from LilyoftheVally (and ValleyGirl), dbygawdcapn, Jess, rocking chair, LVgeogeek, Pandora, and Portia. Thanks so much, you guys!!

Thank you so much for your lovely cards dgygawdcapn, Portia, Avarie537, awshappity, and Jess! Your cards all kick butt and brightened my overcast, chilly Valentine’s Day. HUGS!

I’m a little worried no one has recieved cards from me yet. I sent out the first batch Wed and the second Friday. I put chocolates in them. Do you think the post office wouldn’t deliver them like that?

Wow, today I got a slew! Very nice ones, all. Clever one by Jess and also Avarie, and Susie sent little goodies and gifties!
rockingchair, loved the little bookmarks.

I’m going to get creative next year and include stuff!
Thanks!

I got mine today! Yum! I was on my way to the gym when I picked it up, which is the perfect time to get chocolate.

Judging by the postmark on yours, I’m afraid you wont get mine for a long time. :frowning:

WOW! I got a fat stack of valentines cards in the mail today. I want to thank everybody who sent me one(and everyone who participated in the exchange) (I may have a big list of “Thank You’s” tomorrow). They are all great, and I really enjoyed them!!

{{{{Everyone}}}}

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!!
(even though its 14 minutes past Valentine’s day here)

Hope you had a good one. You all helped me to have one.

Thanks Jess yours arrived today. I know mine may take a little longer making the journey as some fool stuck an ocean in the way for them to cross :smiley:

Like my ol’ poker buddy CynicalGabe I got a nice stack of Valentines in yesterday’s mail. I’ll be posting thank yous tonight. But you know who you are…so thank you!

I got valentines today! Thought everyone had forgot the lowly canadian but, lo and behold, many valentines, and a tattoo, and some candy…it’s absolutely wonderful!
