There might be stickers involved??? Oh dear, I’ll have to stop by my P.O. box on my way home today! 😃 ---

There was some girl dressed up as an angel at the supermarket handing out heart shaped chocolates. I was good- I bought my partner a red rose. I ate the chocolate. ---

I haven’t been to my parents house to pick up my mail yet, but I’m enjoying the email greetings. And amused by the misspelling of my name. =^.^= ---

> [@Silver Tyger Girl](#): > > I haven’t been to my parents house to pick up my mail yet, but I’m enjoying the email greetings. And amused by the misspelling of my name. =^.^= Oops, sorry, that’s my fault. Didn’t catch that I’d misspelled it until after I’d gotten everything ready to send. But perhaps you could have it changed to match? 😉 Just wanted to wish everyone: \*\*❤ Happy Valentine’s Day, all! ❤ \*\* [And here’s a Valentine’s greeting for everyone.](http://www.dovercards.com/cgi-bin/viewcard.pl/Lnwc5/00606388) ---

Yay! I’m sure the various postal services consider this exchange a service to their carriers. Hopefully the rest of your Valentines aren’t far behind. ---

Heavens- I almost died when the postie delivered so much mail this morning. I had forgotten the cards and thought there were a stack of bills to pay. Now the cats are wondering why there is so much glitter and hearts around and I have a lovely card from Switzerland. I do feel ashamed receiving all these lovely cards and remembering the tacky non creative things I sent. Next year I will try and be innovative. Thanks Sur5ly Chick, Melodyharmonious and Anaglyph. ---

I just wanted to post to say how much I loved all the ecards that I got. They ranged from adorable to beautiful to hilarious. Thank you all so much! ---

I got 3 cards yesterday - **Cicero** , **Ares28,** & **Pandora**. Technically they arrived on Saturday - I was just gone over the weekend. Thank you all - I loved them! ---

We got several lovely cards…thank you all so much! Unfortunately, I did not get to send out my Ecards…3 out of 5 of us have had some kind of deathly stomach thing going on. Hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! ---

I sent ecards to everyone - but as of today several did not pick them up. If you got an ecard from Joey, don’t be scared - it’s me . . . . ---

Well, I finally stopped in again at my P.O. box and received lovely cards from\*\* GT,\*\* **Pandora** (and btw, the answer is French Silk :D), **King Bobo** , **Tarragon918** , **Aries28** and, **breaking-reality**. There might have been one more. I got a notice that there was something waiting for me that wouldn’t fit in my mailbox, but the post office was closed for lunch. Thank you all! 🙂 ---

My reactions to the ones I’ve gotten: **GT** - eeee!!! =^\_\_^= especially the first quote **missred** - my mom and I couldn’t decide if you made it or not. In any case, it’s adorable! You also had the most interesting spelling of my name. =^.^= **faithfool** - yay! tons of stuff! **melodyharmonius** - yours is the reason I was opening them all carefully! Since I was at my parents’ house and I didn’t want to have to clean up! And a personal poem to boot! WOW! I can’t wait to see what I have tonight. ---
