Glad you like the box and candies, \*\*Grrlbrarian. \*\*🙂

I got a sticker-thing and card from **WOOKINPANUB** today, too. Made me smile. 🙂  
And thank you \*\*purplehorseshoe \*\*for the card and chocolates (the chocolates didn’t last long!) 🙂

All,

Just want to express my thanks for your kindness and my awe at your creativity and generosity. I sent personal messages but want to say publicly that you all really made my Valnetine’s Day. I got stickers, and fortunetellers and bookmarks and CANDY and all manner of cool stuff and I will treasure each and every one (except the chocolate. I already treasured it when I ate it immediately 🙂 ). **Amarinth** , I didn’t send you a pm because I didn’t see a post from you here and I are stoopid and don’t know how to contact you, so if you’re reading this, thank you so much for a really creative and romantical card; I wish I had your flair!

Thanks again, **EmilyG** for organizing; this has meant a lot to me.

Me, too. These were the only Valentiines I got this year… and they were fabulous!

I got a pretty box with chocolate and an eraser from **EmilyG** today! Thank you. 🙂

I agree with the others. I’ve gotten a couple of private messages about Valentines and I just wanted to say publicly how grateful I am. That day was rough and this really helped. Thank you all. I promise to reply to those soon. Sometimes it just takes a bit longer than I like.

Took me a while to check my mailbox again, and even longer to sign back into the Dope, just to say …

I got my own foamy heart cutouts with a card from Grrrlbrarian, and petals with another sweet card from amarinth, and a bookmark with a lovely bright turquoise feather from … I lost the name? with th cutest little Cupid cutouts.

So a very belated and equally heartfelt Thank You to everyone. I needed this.

… And yesterday evening the mail brought my Canadian Valentine, my painted box of candy from this year’s lovely exchange organizer. 🙂
