We got a couple of ‘em today too! **Punkyova** and **Punkyette** , **amarinth** , **BrattiAtti** ’s (loved the ‘100% note’ BTW), **Anastaseon** (thanks for the good smellin’ stars and hearts!) and a few more! We’ve kept up the holiday string to hang our new valentines from. Now, underneath our giant shelf-onna-wall, we’ve got an inverted arch of Doper’s valentine cards hanging for all to see. Tripler Dude, these are cool! ---

Thanks, **rosie**. If anyone has ideas on how to do this better next time, please let me know. (PM is fine.) I figure it’s probably more efficient for the same person to try to do this a couple of years in a row before handing it off… Glad to see some cards finally found your mailbox, **twickster**. I got a lovely postcard from **Nawth Chucka** and **Tripler** , and **BrattiAtti’s** clever and lovely card today. ::sigh:: Someday I’ll be creative. GT ---

I got **The Punkyova’s** card today. What a cute picture! Also, it appears that we have all won the lottery!!!1111 etc. I went into the Valentine mailbox today to make sure there wasn’t anything new and found 1 piece of spam, accurately filed in the spam folder: \*Attn: Winner, You won the sum of £750,000,00 GBP from our monthly PROGRAM, you are hereby advice to get back to us, to claimed your prize.

I got cards from McUne, BrattiAtti, Anastaseon, and BrknBttrfly. I love it! My Valentine’s Day goes on and on. The SDMB gets a 2-page spread in my scrapbook every year. This is the reason that I pay my yearly fee. (Plus the Dope Fests. And the entertainment. You know what I mean!) ---

I haven’t had time to list everyone individually, but I wanted to thank you all for the cards and treats that are brightening my dinning room. The Valentine’s exchange definately adds some fun to an otherwise dreary time of year. And a special thanks to gardentraveler for putting in the time and effort to make this happen! ---

Hmmm. Only one of the four people to whom I sent my very weird Valentines has reported that it arrived. Perhaps the days of baffling the USPS with crazy stuff are over. ---

[QUOTE=freckafree] Hmmm. Only one of the four people to whom I sent my very weird Valentines has reported that it arrived. Perhaps the days of baffling the USPS with crazy stuff are over. [/QUOTE] Same with me, and it’s now been two weeks. I can only assume that they won’t arrive at all. Sucks, because I spent a good amout of time making them. But **Pandora** sent me dinosaurs, and that’s awesome! ---
