I received cards from Lori, Sue, Sarah, Linda, Denise, Mary Beth, Lori-crafter, Laura, Ally, Carrie, Pennie, Connie, Roxy, Christa, Sharon, Heather, Shelly, Rebecca, Marilyn, Ruthie Ann, Emily, Debbie, Portia, Misty great cards everyone. I just returned from Florida and have opened all the mail I received while gone. Thanks for all the great cards. I think I received 28 cards. Not sure but I think I may have received more than one card from some of you. Love the cards swaps.

Farmgirl friends are fun.

Ally,
I sent you one as well. Can't imagine what's going on with your mail?
:(

Hugs,
Linda

Odd isn't it, Ally. I wonder where they went. I did get one from you and I sent you one too. Hmmmm where are they??? I am missing four so the Post Office is enjoying them somewhere. I hope they turn up. MB

Hello gals, just a quick question...I have, so far, only received one valentine, so I was wondering if anyone got the valentine sent back? I'm not really sure what happened, but we are still receiving our normal mail. I hate to sound like the "poor me" because I did get one, but I was kinda disappointing when I didn't find lovely valentines in my mailbox.

Thanks for hosting Sue this was a really fun swap!

I apologize for taking so long to get my final thank you's posted to Laura, Heather, Shelly, Misty, Roxane, Linda, Ruthie Ann, and Denise who each sent such beautiful Valentines. I've had family visiting from Vermont and things just got hectic for a bit. Here's one last photo of all of my valentines from 2014. I barely had room for all of the cards so they don't all show up well but I've been rearranging them frequently so as to enjoy all of them.



Cheers! ~ Marilyn

Hi Everyone: Ally, I did get your valentine a few days ago. Today, I found two in my mailbox...one from Ruthie Ann (love the recycled envelope...I will have to try that) and also one from Misty..love the bookmark. Thanks to all. I hope everyone gets theirs soon! Heather
AFinkberry Posted - Feb 18 2014 : 08:33:10 AM
Hi Pennie, I just have the one from Linda. I'm not sure what's going on with the mail!!! It seems that the only thing to come on time in the mail are bills and notices....LOL!! It's crazy! But I also wonder who's received my Valentines?

Sue, So glad you enjoyed my Valentine. Thank you to everyone for all the wonderful Valentines! Hubby is appreciative, too. Thank you so much for hosting, Sue. Heather

Who has not gotten a card from me?? I sent them all out.... if you don't get one, please let me know and I'll send you another. I don't want anyone to think I didn't send them one! I think our post office has some crazy lazy people there!! I sent my sister a package over 2 weeks ago, she should have gotten it by now and she is still looking for it! ugh

Linda, (Prayin Granny), thank you so much for your cute burlap
heart valentine. Love how you put "Farmgirls" down the side and
the cute yarn bow.

Linda, I am so glad you rcv'd my Valentine. I was getting worried as they had to go through an additional channel to get the special markings. I mailed them the end of Jan to the remail program so I am thankful they got out in time. Thank you to Laura, Sue and Roxane for the cute Valentines that recently arrived!!! I hope everyone had an great Valentines Day!! Heather
hummingbirdjoy Posted - Feb 14 2014 : 5:58:51 PM
Heather, I received your beautiful, hand painted flowers valentine,
today, thank you so much and also loved the neat postmarks on the
envelope from Loveland, Colorado. You even had a heart stamp!
Thank you everyone for all the special handmade valentine
creations. Laura, I loved your sweet tag pocket valentine with
the small heart and chicken and gold safety pin with pearls, that
was such a clever idea.

What I make with my
hands, I give with my heart ....
Marybeth Posted - Feb 14 2014 : 2:21:49 PM
I received 4 more Valentines today. Right on the day. All beautiful, all special, all unique. What a treasure. Thank you so much.
Happy Valentines day to ALL!! MB

Thanks for the lovely cards I replaced my Christmas card wreath, it has snow flakes but since the weather has been so cold and winter is not leaving anytime soon, I will make it a "Valentine" wreath! I will try to post a picture.

I'm enjoying seeing how you all are displaying your lovelies, mine are in a cute box! Better late for some due to the weather so keep a eye out and wouldn't be nice to get pretty mail all month long! Enjoy!!
