<3<3<3<3 OLbunnyfunn has been restored!! I fixed the AOL/iTunes problem so we're back in business.

In honor of this grayt day I decided it was my duty to conduct another exchange. I think we have enough time to do this. It should be easier since I already have most addresses! I would love to see a few more gulls/guys participate.... not to name names but Peapod, Ktschris, BR, SJ, RO, Kat, you all just have to. ;-) DKA is the new guy but I bet we won't have to twist his arm as much. And anyone else that missed the ornament exchange and saw how much funn it was!

We're not trying to exclude anyone but I think it does need to be an active poster so we can make personalized valentines.

Please email me at Olbunnyfunn@aol.com if you want in! If I don't have your address from the ornament exchange then make sure you include it.

I'll get your Valentine's name and address to you by the 1st and that'll give ya a week or so to make it and get it in the mail so they receive it by Valentines Day.

Yes gulls, the day is not over...and if it doesn't arrive today we will celebrate Valentines all week long!

Kimmi, you are so silly. Hate is such a stong word. I'm sure your valentine just thought it was ugly.

NO, No, No, I LOVE IT! I am absolutely certain that you will get the prize for being the most original!!!!! I am sitting here reading how to upload a picture into my post. I know how to do 'tars and links but the pictures within my posts are the size of a postage stamp or too big for the screen. Hold on.......

Ok, hopefully this took this time. My Valentine card from Shallowsnole and family.

WOW...you DO have a Grayt history!:wub:
LOVE your tar, too Katz :clap_1:

Thanks so much...it's been a long history. One day I will write a book of short stories about the goings on around Grayton in the "old days" and funn times of craziness on the beach at night....a lot of sneaking around the neighborhood back then!!!!:rolling:

That's my Mardi Gras Kat...I mean Cat!

I received the most wonderful Valentine, a Valentine Pi?ata. I absolutely LOVE it. Inside was filled with delicious CHOCOLATE hearts and a little message. I bet I am the only one that received money in my Valentine. :floor: Never let anyone tell you that you aren't creative!:wub:


Let's see if I can post the pictures. It may take a couple of tries.

:biggrin: That wasn't hard...having lived in almost every house in Grayton over the past 20 years!!! Worked there as a hostess way back before the Red Bar when Ollie was the Chef for Bay Cafe and I sold my desserts in a tiny shoppe in Patrones. Geez that was before Doug and I was married and he and Randall Jones owned The Grayton Corner Cafe,
which of course has been D&K's Cafe for the past 6 years....talk about coming full circle!!!! That picture of the door I took off the web site.

EVERYONE'S VALENTINES ARE FABULOUS!
Mr.Supermom or Superdad as he woud probably prefer, took a little liberty per the season and added hearts to the side panels of the door! Painted with :wub: !

OMG! My Valentine just came!!!

Beach Crazy :wub: :bow: What a perfectly wonderful (or wonderfully perfect?) Valentine's care package you sent me! I could not believe it!!!

My camera batteries are charging. I'll have pics within the hour. So much to share, and all so relevant. I can't wait to make my new 'tar. :lol: BC you are the best, and you managed this all during tax season too. :wub:

But, ahem ... when the instructions say "make a handmade valentine," I tend to take that literally. :blush: I made a valentine (with lots of affection and admiration :wub:) and sent it. I notice other people sent care packages. This is typical of my life ... I really need things spelled out. My son was the kindergartener last year whose mom just had him send those little fold up valentines to his classmates. I had NO IDEA that kindergardeners made elaborate valentines, attached candy, etc. This year I THINK I got it right but there is probably some new first-grade level of valentine I did not know about. :roll:

With that said, thank you thank you BC!!! You made me feel great!

Again Happy Valentine's Day to all my SoWal Friends!!!! Can't wait to check back tonight....:wub: :wub: :wub:

P.S. I really did make your Valentine, I wanted to do a fancy one!

I know. Mine is very simple and doesn't really compare with the projects I have seen posted. I hope my recipient appreciates the simple LOVE that is behind it. :wub:
