Confession: I was ridiculously late this year. So the cards are coming…eventually. Thanks everyone for the cards & e-cards. ---

I just opened up another huge batch of Valentines! Thank you all so much - what a bounty!! Some candy, some chocolate…home-made beauties, quotes along with some stickers!! I love them all … and special thanks to **SpecialOne** for my very first _I think_ Hebrew valentine! 🙂 Thank you everyone, really!! ---

Sorry for the wet cards but I don’t think the Post Office here can be blamed. We haven’t had rain in Perth since last November. Yesterday I saw a tree looking for a dog. ---

I’m glad everybody liked mine! I actually designed two (plus the email one), so I alternated. =^\_^= Even my super nitpicky art teacher liked them (and you can thank him for them being even super-cuter after his improvements) ---

Thank you for the cards and stickers Pandora, the dinosaur was more appropriate than you can imagine. I just went the the Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology last weekend - you must be a mind reader! Sincere thanks. KB. ---

> [@Cicero](#): > > 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. Cicero. I did not know that we patronized the same firm of handicraft experts. My cards were executed by the exact same workers. Hey, great minds think alike and all that. KB. ---

I’m glad you liked them! ([there are instructions here](http://www.craft-ideas-for-kids.com/danish-heart-basket.html). Don’t use cardstock. Thin paper. Origami paper would have been a much better choice.) ---

King Bobo checking in here to say a word of thanks. To Tarragon918 and Mad rabbit woman - Cards that touched me. Thank you both. I am kind of thinking that this is just about nearing the end of the Valentines card exchange. May I say thank you, from my heart, to all who sent me cards. It has been a tough few months for me and each and every card has lifted my spirits more than you can ever know. To know that there are people scattered around the world who care enough to take time to send a greeting to me restores my faith in goodness. Again, from my heart, Thank you. And, of course, to the organizer of this lovely tradition; May you be blessed, you must indeed have a heart that shines and a soul that sings out to the stars. KB says XOXO to all.
