Comment: That was a great card!! I felt really bad because my card ended up being a religious one (like seriously, a religious valentine, from Dollar Tree??) going to someone who says NO religious stuff! on her profile. I debated what to do before I mailed it out, but finally decided it WAS a blind valentine, and I should stick with the spirit of the swap, and took my chances. She was really sweet about it! I'm so glad you started the group! I'm rarely active there but love the group, and always enjoy it when I can jump in! Thank you for the fun card!!

Comment: I'm so sorry that it took me such a long time to rate this, TYVM. They were very funny.

Comment: Oh..... My goodness. Let me tell you a story... Of a girl, running out into the freezing to fetch something from her car and being greeted by a nice cheerful package on her stoop, she then opens the package and gasps at ALL the lovely joys inside, her day was made. THANK YOU JEN <3 My favorite was the ceramic turtle and nude playing card ^.^

I can't believe all the stuff you sent - Jeopardy dvd & form to get tickets (what a great idea!), t-shirt & dvd, limericks (he read about 6 of them & was rollin'!), the "office" reading material (which he promptly took to the "office" after opening everything), Jim Norton (he already stuck it in his camping stuff for around the campfire reading!), the coffee candies!
