… And they’re on their way! Which isn’t quite as silly as it sounds on a Sunday, since it’s a work day, here 🙂 I’ve had spotty luck with mail to the US in the past – they may make it pretty much on time, or they might be a few days (or more…) late ☹ Thanks once again to **GT** for organizing this! ---

After messing with paper napkins, paper, lots of glue, glitter glue and sequins, I sent my cards on their way on Saturday. ---

Don’t sweat it – I tried to get mine out early because of International Shipping times (and lousy experience in the past); if most of your cards are domestic, you should still be OK 🙂 > [@Anaglyph](#): > > After messing with paper napkins, paper, lots of glue, glitter glue and sequins, I sent my cards on their way on Saturday. See, now **you’re** making **me** feel bad for using store-bought cards! 😛 ---

I got my first card today - thank you, **faithfool!** It’s nice to get something besides bills and junk in the mail. My cards went out today - I hope the foreign ones get there in time. ---

I got my first 2 today! Thanks **faithfool** and **melody**! I’m only just getting to mine, so I suspect I’ll be contributing to the extension of the Valentine season. 😃 ---

My valentines are ready to go … we’ve just been unable to get to the post office yet. ☹ They’ll be late, especially the overseas ones, and I do apologize, but fear not, they will be on the way tomorrow! Snowpocalypse… sorry! ---

Mine are going out late! First I planned to hand make them (and still do) Realizing that I was behind schedule I bought some cards, and even started to address them. But we’re hammered with snow. The post box near work is buried. I haven’t seen a carrier in days. If the latest forecasts are to be believed I will have plenty of time to be home making cards through this weekend. I’ll mail them Monday. The upside is that I’m sufficiently embarassed to finally take some real practical steps to address my procrastination issues. In the past my procrastination has only affected me, some corporate entities, and close relatives who kinda have to love me anyway. Apologies to my list!!! ---

Received a lovely hand-made card from **missred** today. Thanks! Mine went out in the mail this morning, so I’m afraid some of them will be late. It’s so nice to have something to look forward to after a long day, especially with all the extra weather we’ve been having. 🙂 ---
