Sorry, I’m a little late getting here… ☹ So far I have gotten cards from: **Pandora** - Wicked cute. When the dinosaur fell out, it made me smile. 🙂 **TroubleAgain** - I love the heart person! It’s soo cute! **Twickster** - Love the little rat. 🙂 **Nawth Chucka** & \*\*Tripler \*\*- love the cats! That is pretty awesome. **Most Creative User Name Ever** - Loved your card! Soo Cute. 🙂 **HockeyMonkey** - Thank you for the card and the recipe. Can’t wait to try it out. **Fairychatmom** - love, love, love the butterfly card. 🙂 Thank you. That’s all I’ve got and I have to thank you all. It has made going to my mail box much nicer. It gets depressing seeing bill after bill. The cards lighted up my week. Thanks guys. ---

I got a couple more in the mail today! One from Tarragon and one from Pixilated! Thank you both for the goodies!! twickster, you were on my list, but with only your email, not your snail mail. I do have extras leftover and would be happy to send you a snail mail card if you would like to PM or email your address. 🙂 I sent both snail mail (if their address was on my list) and ecards to the following people: BrattiAtti, TroubleAgain, Avarie537, Pizilated, The PUnkyova, Sunrazor, gardentraveler, Nawth Chuck & Tripler, Always Bring Pie, Pandora, FairyChatMom, amarinth, Hockey Monkey, dogbutler, freespiritisi, Anyrose, Anastasaeon, tarragon918, BrknButterfly, twickster, ScareyFaerie, Noone Special, Anaglyph, tdn, Lionne. I will admit that it’s nice getting them spread out a bit. What a fun surprise getting the mail to see more Valentine’s there! ---

[QUOTE=Pixilated] ya know, if we extend this to St Patrick’s Day - I could send people some canned Haggis! [/QUOTE] There are just two things wrong with that idea…first is that canned haggis is plain _wrong_, and second is that St Pat’s day is for the Irish, not the Scots! More v-day goodies in the mail today - one from **TroubleAgain** and a little package from **anyrose** with hearts and a lollipop! I’m surprised the lollipop survived the trip, maybe the postie didn’t throw it around too much on the way here. 'im indoors is starting to wonder why I’m getting so many cards though… ---

Me too, more! **The Punkyova** (the Punkette is a real cutiepie) **Anastasaeon** (what are those things? soaps? they sure smell nice) **Nawth Chucka** & **Tripler** (pretty kitties) (should we call you “ **Nawth Tripler** ” now?) **Always Brings Pie** (which included another little sticker - I must have the whole set by now) and **amarinth** (love the silvery paper) ---

[QUOTE=anyrose] **Anastasaeon** (what are those things? soaps? they sure smell nice) [/QUOTE] Soaps! Everybody got little soaps from me. Some got hearts (some are lavender, some are cranberry - the colour should indicate which of the two - one person got a white one, which is an oatmeal, milk and honey scent) one person got a sunshine (grapefruit!), and still others got a mix of red hearts & blue and yellow stars. I make handmade soap as a hobby, and those would normally be used as embeds, or they can also be used as little hand soaps. The blue stars are agave, the others scents are lost in the mists of my mind. There was no rhyme or reason to who got what, I just wanted to include a little extra. 🙂 ---

then I got a cranberry heart, a grapefruit star and two (light blue - lavender?) stars. yum. I’ll sure smell purty tonight. 🙂 ---

Oh, soaps… that explains the taste… :eek: kidding - I didn’t really eat one. I’m not frothing. Nope, not me… 😉 ---

I got mine from **Hockey Monkey**. Very nice! 🙂 I’m a little distressed that only **twickster** got my snail mail so far. They were sent out on Monday. If people don’t get them by Tuesday, I’m going to be officially mad at the USPS. ---

Got **GardenTraveler** ’s card (with the a-DORA-ble little extra inside :)) today! That makes three snail-mail cards I’ve got so far – which is better than going the other was; to the best of my knowledge only \*\*ScareyFaerie \*\*has got mine, so far?
