Would anyone like to do a Valentine's Day Exchange?

Hey, guys, sorry about the latecomers! I was out of town over the weekend and didn’t have a chance to respond. If the latecomers want to PM me their address, I got a couple of extra cards, too, and can send them out.

Most of my Valentine’s Cards went out. I ran out of stamps, though, so I have to go to the post office box - which I won’t be able to get to until tomorrow. But the rest will go out then!

I sent out my special Valentine’s mail today. :slight_smile: No idea how long it’ll take for my items to get to their recipients, but probably sometime this month.

Valentine’s!!!

A beautiful, creative Star Wars one from JKellyMap, and a lovely bookmark and bird card from Grrlbrarian.

Thank you!

Pai325, I got yours yesterday. Thank you! :slight_smile:

the cards are arriving! cards, and stickers, and bookmarks! oh my! (i have a new book by a favourite writer to read tomorrow, and now a new bookmark for it!)

i’m gonna have to start my crafting earlier next year. i felt a bit rushed this time. i could send valentine greetings to those that missed the deadline as well.

There is not supposed to be an apostrophe in Valentines. It is plural, not possessive.

In all of the years I have had an iPad I still haven’t trained myself to double check if it wrote what I thought it was supposed to write.

I can send to anyone else, too. It is still a week away!

Eh, you were okay with the possessive as well. Remember, the day used to “belong” to a saint (still does for some folks, I assume).

I’ll pass your too-kind compliments on to Lil’ Map!

huh, i always went with the st. valentine’s day, the st. may have been dropped but it is still his day.

All of mine are out! The International ones might take a little longer, but most should be there pretty quickly. And I already got Pai325’s! Thank you - so cute!

Thanks for the cool Malaysian dude,** JKellyMap**! :smiley: I’m really enjoying all the happy V-Day mail.

I still call it St. Valentine’s, with the apostrophe.

The first word in my post “Valentines!!!” was because I had received two that day, and I call the card a valentine without the saint.

I am just adequate in grammar, so the errors I actually see and recognize bother me.

Got a lovely card and stickers from Pai325. Many thanks! :smiley:

Yay! Two more Valentines arrived today!

Rocking chair, I got the lovely bookmark with stickers: thank you! Anaamika, loved your card & envelope, but I’m afraid the enclosure was a casualty of the post office. Just a thumb-sized hole in the envelope where something clearly was. I appreciate the gesture all the same, though! :smiley:

A heartfelt (ba dum bump) thanks to Pai325, Aanamika, rocking chair, and Grrlbrarian* for their creative cards – all much more “valentinesy” than what I sent out. I won’t see the rest until after I get back from a trip, two weeks from now.

*I love the bookmark – I’ll start using it tomorrow!

same here, but the hole was way bigger. like a shark took a bite out of it. i’m planning on interrogating the post man.

i’m glad y’all like the bookmarks.

grrlbarian, i used your’s on my book yest. it was fabulous.

So glad you liked it, rocking chair and JKellyMap! My mama is the Queen of All Card-making (or so it appears) and she generously donated many of her supplies so the bookmarks could come together. I hadn’t been crafty in ages, so this was fun for me too!

Same here: bottom of envelope torn open and only the card inside. Lovely card, though, Anaamika!

Mine went out a bit late so hopeful everyone will start receiving them this week, except the international contingent. You just have to enjoy getting valentines cards a little later.

Thank you, also, jkellymap, grrlbrarian (love the bookmark!), pai325, and purplehorseshoe. Every one of them made me smile!

I loved opening the mailbox to find real mail!! Addressed to me!!!

rocking chair, I loved the bookmark. I am already using the one from Grllibrarian in a book, and now I can take the scrap of paper out of my other book and use the one I received today. Thank you.

And Emily G!!! What a beautiful box, and chocolate, too! A double valentine, and those are two of my favorite colors together. Thank you!

I wish I had a fraction of the creativity all of you do.

Good heavens! I hope at least someone got my enclosures. I didn’t think they would be so prone to escaping. Sorry about that!

Got a lovely bunch of cards over the weekend, including a bookmark with my very own Doper name on it! Some adorable cards that I put on my corkboard, and a lovely box from EmilyG. I’m glad you put it in plastic, it has snowed a LOT these past few days and there was even snow in the mailbox.

I got a bookmark, too! :slight_smile: My int’l went out yesterday morning, and the others yesterday evening, so hopefully they’ll all make it in time. I found pretty stamps for everyone, too.

ETA: one of mine included a sheet of V-Day stickers - thank you! - so I turned around and payed the love forward, decorating my outgoing cards with them. Fun!
