SDMB Valentines Exchange '07

Yay, valentines! Now I don’t have to sulk past all those pink holiday displays.

I’m making mine by hand, but not drawing them ('cause I can’t draw) – stickers and rubber stamps.

E-mail sent!

But, do we have to exchange VDs? Can’t we just send cards?

Not that I have any to exchange, thankyouverymuch!

I’d rather participate in activities that carry the possibility of the former, but pickings 'round these parts* are slim. Cards it’ll be.

Jahdra and TwoOnSunday have been added to the list. Thanks for signing up.

'round my physical location, not the boards. Though if there are enough volunteers, something could be put together.*

**I’m kidding. Please, Mods, don’t shoot! Let’s keep it G-rated, folks. C’mon now. Knock it off. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m going to get materials today! Has the list changed much since the 16th, Miss BrattiAtti?

Sory for the double post; does anyone know a serviceperson overseas who might like to be sent Valentines?

If you would like to join in the fun, please send your info. I won’t cut off the emails until almost a week from now. Don’t assume you’re too late to be allowed to participate.

I plan to buckle down Saturday morning and finish at least the card portion of my valentines. I found some pretty paper to complement the construction paper cut-outs. No laughing at the uneven lines and poor centering, m’kay?

The assembly and creation of many fun Valentines took up a good 2.5 hours last night, and the time flew because it was SO much fun! I also went to anysoldier.com and picked out some people there to send some to. Wheee!

email sent (to both edresses) just under the wire :wink:

and a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to BrattiAtti for organizing this year’s exchange

anyrose, you are officially on the list. Thanks for signing up. :slight_smile:

If you want to sign up and haven’t yet, now is the time to do it. You have just over fifteen hours to jot off a two-minute email. Please don’t hesitate to join the card exchange. [wheedling] You’ll help make it something even more special than it is. We’ll all be appreciative that you are pitching in to help make this more fun for everyone.[/wheedling]

Slick, eh? :wink:

I second that! Please join up - we’re glad to have you.

Bumpity bump!

I’ve got mine like 90% done. I still have extras waiting in the wings for those last-minute signer-uppers. Other than that, I’m almost there!

Heh … I say this like I’m hand-crafting individual works of art. Not quite, but with a 9-month-old, I’m happy to be able to do it at all!

I’m glad I re-read the OP! I was going to charge in here, deMANding to know where my list of addresses was … then I double-checked the OP. haRUMPH. I guess I’ll have to wait until Saturday morning.

Not participating this year but Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!

Looks like my weekend is going to be quite artistic and postal… :slight_smile:

(and because I forgot to post, sugar and spice was added to the master list on Wednesday evening.)

If you live in the US, and if you requested fewer than 15 cards, I took the liberty of tacking onto your list one extra person.

Even with those extra cards being sent, many people are four or five cards short of what they requested. If you would like to mail more and don’t care about receiving cards in return, let me know. I’ll randomly pick more people for you to shower with cards.

I guess that’s it. Please tell me if you didn’t receive your list or if you’re having issues downloading it.

Have fun! :slight_smile:

Got my first valentine yesterday – thanks, avarie!

Likewise; Thank you for the very cute horsies!

I’ve received my first two, and my batch will go out tomorrow morning.

I got my first one, with many curious enclosures, from Squeaker Snow last night after trudging home from the gym, through the cold, after a long and weird day at work. It cheered me right up! :slight_smile:
