Thanks to Marlene and Christa for the beautiful valentines. Here's a photo of the collection I have gathered to date which includes the ones I received from MaryBeth and Linda a few days ago:
This is a fun swap. Thanks Sue for hosting again this year!

A very special thank you to Linda Terry, you made my snowy day! Most of mine went out already but I ran out of stamps and I'm snowed in so the 4 left over will go out just as soon as I can get to the post office!!!

You are so welcome Sue and thanks again for hosting this fun Valentine
exchange. Saw on the news how much snow your area is getting and
the Northeast is to be hit again with more snow. Hope it lets up
soon for you and the others.
Pennie, thank you for your sweet little valentine and to Christa
for her pretty heart valentine. 
Lori and Ally, your pretty cards also arrived today, thanks!

hands, I give with my heart .... |

Oh my goodness Linda, you've certainly been dusted by the "snow angels"!
It looks so pretty but I do realize it also makes the driving and
getting about a lot more difficult. Stay safe and warm and thanks
for posting the picture, we didn't have a white Christmas in the
Seattle area so I loved the view you posted!

Linda, thank you for the sweet valentine!! I got it today! Which was a very nice touch to this snowy day down here!
I'm glad to hear that my valentines have been delivered! I know it sounds crazy, but I always wonder about mail being lost. Somehow, I think it will only happen to me and then it never does and all of my mail gets out!

MaryBeth, love how you displayed all the farmgirl valentines!
Heather, no I haven't received yours yet but I'm sure they
are on their way to everyone and we'll receive them shortly.
Linda, guess what? We got 2 inches of snow tonight here and
it is still lightly snowing right now! Ally, I see you got some
snow too and we were just saying yesterday how Portland got some
and we didn't.
Many thanks to Shelly for her sweet valentine I received today.
Love the creative stamping you did on it.

hands, I give with my heart .... |

I've only received one from Linda so far!
Heather, I haven't gotten yours yet, but I think mine are being sent dogsled also!!
Linda, it been snowing like crazy! I've never lived in the snow and our neighbors were saying it doesn't usually snow like this! I'm glad we got to experience this though!
I suppose the post office is just slow this time of year, regardless of the weather? But that's ok, it just make the exchange slow and sweet! I gotta tell you ladies, in our house, Valentines Day is kind of the forgotten holiday because hubby's b-day is the day before. So when we save up for dinner and any special treats, it's usually for the birthday! So it's been a while for Valentines day as an event for me! I just want to say thank you to you all for this!
