<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.
<3 <3 <3<3

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:

Same here, and that's the important part. I do LOVE seeing all these grayt ideas!!! Wow, how will we top this?

Door bell rang...

Dylan...hey, he ding dong ditched us....

Me...hmmm, could it be? :idontno:

Yes!!! :clap_1: My valentine!!!! Huh? :idontno: Hmmm. :scratch:

It's not who I thought it would be from! There's surprise written on the box and it is from Allifunn!!! The pictures will explain...

What can I say gulls...I'm so touched and thrilled you would do this for me. I don't know how you did it but I don't care! :lol: I didn't mind knowing who my valentine was but this made it a nice surprise!!! :wub: :wub: :wub:

Okay, now on to describe my most awesome valentine all packaged in a cute red heart valentine bag. In my bag I had candy hearts:wub: , a heart note pad and a little flip flop journal that is too cute. :wub: I thought that was it until I unwrapped the tissue and my real handmade valentine was inside. :clap_1: Allifunn really went all out to make it special. It's a long hanging double sided valentine and I have it hanging by my computer. It has pics of my kids, shells, sowal...all the things I love. Thank you Alli from the bottom of my pink and red hearts!!!!:wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

This is so cool. Merman got Mleigh for his secret Valentine, and Mleigh got me!! And she put a photo of herself and her daughter and both are beautiful. :wub: Thanks for my card, Midwest neighbor of mine. I love it! :clap_1:

I got a double present today, too, because thoughtful sweet generous Allifun sent me a valentine and it even had candy hearts in it and I've already eaten the whole box (well, I saved a few for my honeybunch). Allifunn, you are a Sweetheart of the Highest Magnitude!

More than half a foot. I'm still shovelling but luckily it's lightweight snow and the sun is out and the sky's this incredible deep blue. It's the ultimate Valentine's gift from Mother Nature. :biggrin:

Oh, and thanks for the compliments! :roll: :blush:
You're welcome but I was only being accurate!

You're welcome TFT, you followed the directions just fine, I'm the one that didn't:blush: I couldn't help it though after reading that thread about what all y'all go through!!! Enjoy every bit of it and I'm glad I got to make your day bright!:wub:

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

I know that and it IS beautiful and fancy!!! I was just saying, you went so above and beyond .... !!!!

You could call the theme "Mom's morning out" or maybe "Mom's 10 minutes of peace and quiet" or "Mom's locked the door and you can't come in."

First she sent me a box of the stuff in my tar. :floor: :floor: Perfect!

There are heart shaped candles and a box of chocolates. And of course the beautiful handmade valentine ("Roses are red, violets are blue, I wish I was in SoWal. Don't you?":clap_1:). And a nice note!!



And then this handmade sign. :floor: :floor: :clap_1:



I don't like it I love it!!!
