Well since this is my first valentine’s Day since my divorce, I might as well give it a try.
It’s a joke.

If you don’t see your name, I’ve not received an email. Please try again.
Also, a reminder: double-check that you’ve included your SDMB Username in the email you send. Thanks.
In other news, driving home this evening it occured to me that keeping the rules short nixed a lot of info. Sorry about that.
Rules continued: On the given day (Feb 2nd), you will receive a list of names and addresses. The list will be sent to the email address you used to send me your info. Once you receive your list, you will know to whom you are mailing Valentines. You may purchase pre-made cards. You may make your own. They can be simple or not. It doesn’t matter. Love doesn’t discriminate against bad taste. OK, maybe it does, but we’ll forgive you anyway. 
Put your cards in the mail. Be sure to affix proper postage. (Speaking of, if I owe you or your postmaster 26 cents from last year’s St. Paddy’s Day exchange, send me an email. I’ll send you a check. Or not. It’s the thought that counts, right?) Soon the mail-fairy will shower you with love in the form of Valentines from other people.
Um, I hope that covered most of what I decided to leave out. My apologies.
Monday morning-ish bump.
There have been requests for up to 100 cards. Please sign up if you’ve been considering but haven’t done so yet. There will be “space” for you. I promise.
Well, if there turn out to be a hundred cards, that’s okay, I’ll deal with it… I just wasn’t expecting it.
Email sent! This is a lot of fun to do.
Ooh ooh ooh! I’m SO in! This is my favorite exchange of the year. I was eyeing doilies and stickers at the dollar store yesterday, but I hadn’t seen this thread yet. I’m gonna get started early this year. I swear!
Just an FYI, for those of us who are neurotic about having appropriate stamps, you can buy some lovely ones that look like this for your valentines. I must have them.
Now that I’ve sent the email, I’ve got to hurry and hunt down some manly doilies & stickers I guess…
Well, actually, I was thinking of taking advantage of this custom stamp service from Canada Post.
They’re even printed by Canadian Bank Note, one of the companies who print our regular stamps. There’s a three-week lead time, though, and I don’t know how many people I’d be sending to. Plus they’re domestic-rate stamps, and I’d have to double up or more for international. Plus, they’re freakin’ expensive: $40 for 40, or twice the nominal cost.
Well, I may send with normal stamps, but it doesn’t mean the cards will be normal! 
Your cards are excellent. I framed the one of a polar bear from a couple of years ago – it’s on display in my living room. Seriously.
Awww…
:: blush ::
Well, I’m in! Now I can have fun shopping for supplies!
You said “tend to be.” So if we want X-rated propositions, can we sign up for those, too? 
…which reminds me, I owe you an email … angelic smiley

Way Too Happy
If you aren’t on the list, please send another email! I can take requests at brattiatti @ gmail . com if you have issues getting through to the other address.
I hope I’m not too late to get in on this. My daughter and I would like to try this together - she’s artistically inclined (me not so much at all! LOL). We’re also going to -attempt- to make our own, but I can’t make any promises that might not get kept. 
Anyway, off to send the email. Oh boy, valentines!!
tarragon918 has been added to the list.
It is definitely not too late to sign up. Keep those emails coming.
malkavia has been added to the list.
I decided to scrap my usual plan of not working on my cards until the day before they are to be mailed. I created some perfect[-ly generic, but you’ll still like 'em] valentines this weekend, IM[NS]HO.
It was fun. I’d like to make more. But that want is dependent on the slackers out there who haven’t yet emailed their information. Yes, I’m referring to you. Send your info. Thanks.
I can’t wait, this is gonna be so much fun! Especially excited to see how my HouseDoper’s valentine’s turn out, I haven’t ever seen him make something free hand.
Who all’s making theirs by hand?
I’ll be drawing mine, then getting printouts at Kinko’s.
Time to read a little non-Euclidean geometry and then get started, I guess…
