Lessee… today brought one from **tarragon** , **Pandora** , **purple haze** and someone named Jaime. 🙂 They are all absolutely wonderful and I’ve had the best time doing this exchange. Thanks y’all. ---

In any case, it’s adorable! You also had the most interesting spelling of my name. =^.^= > \ Glad you liked it! And yes, it is homemade. Sorry about the spelling of your name, I didn’t notice that until the envelope was already adressed and stamped. ---

Today’s mail included an armload of just the best assortment of Valentine’s cards. It completely turned my day (which started out on a definite downward spiral) around. Thank you all so much. ---

3 more in the mail today - yay!!! Yours are starting to arrive, **Noone Special**! Very cool. I’m pretty sure the last one you sent didn’t have Hebrew on it. Also received pretty handmade ones from **tarragon918** and **breaking-reality**. Thanks so much! They were a real day-brightener on this extremely snowy day. GT ---

I accidentally printed extras (because apparently I can’t multiply), so if anybody wants one I can send out four more as soon as I buy more stamps. Just PM me your address. And yes, I’ll send these internationally if **[del]No[/del] Someone Special** wants one. =^\_^= ---

Received cards today from **King Bobo** and **Tarragon918**. Well, actually received them yesterday - my roommate didn’t check the mail until 1 AM. But I brought them with me to work this morning - and made a great start to my Wednesday! ---

I can also send you a list of addresses for you to pick from randomly,\*\* STG\*\*. I’m sure no one would mind getting an extra card. 🙂 Glad to see more cards arriving. I didn’t get any today… I think I still have a couple more coming ( **STG** ’s, for one). **Pookah,** sometimes it just takes longer. I’m sure the U.S. postal service is taking longer right now because there are so many places with bad weather that flights are all messed up. GT ---

Cicero - a card from Oz. Thanks a lot - I never have received a letter from Australia before. It was a thrill. Melodyharmonious - similarly, first ever card from NC. Loved the heart sprinkles and loved the poem. Thank you both sooooooooo much. XO Bobo ---

King Bobo- you would have noticed how lovingly hand crafted the card was. I tried to make it intentionally look like a bought one- took a lot of work. ---

just a reminder (Hope you don’t mind, gardentraveler) that we are now getting ready for round 2 over at the postcard exchange - just in case you need more non-bill mail in your po box! ---
