<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

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:
I had the most funn making it! :wub:

I got a double valentine from both Cork and Sunshine. Thanks for the sweet card and a valentine ornament as well!!! It was paw-fect. I do need help posting the pics though ~ that will happen later in the day.

Sweet wishes to everyone!!!

Oh, I'm soooo glad that you got them. Actually the decorated egg idea came from when Ali and I were in Salzburg, Austria and we saw thousands of decorated eggs. Glad you got it! As usual had to overnight it :lol:

It is a garnet painted football shaped ceramic valentine. It has Allifunn in glitter, Be Mine in glitter and he actually painted a heart on it. too sweet.... I love the fact that you are a very busy person and you took time to make me a valentine!:wub:
Thank you!

Hey Cork ~ sorry the pics have not been posted yet. Needed help from Cap'n Crazy but he had to go off to dinner. Hope to have them up tomorrow. Thanks again for all the time and effort that you put into them.

Oh, it is going in a frame! I am loving this thing! DD is the sushi plate a flashback to my controversial maxim that sushi and prime beef don't mix?

Oh how I wish I could say it was.....but alas, no, a certain sowaller told me you liked sushi...:biggrin:

I got mine in the mail yesterady right as I was headed out the door, and I wanted to open it, but I was reprimanded by my grandpa: "You don't open Valentines before Valentine's Day! Ever!"

I opened it this morning and I haven't gotten a chance to take a picture of it yet, but Kat, this is the best Valentine I have ever gotten! I'll get a picture up tomorrow, but suffice it to say this this thing is fabulously over the top! It's framed with a red feather boa (I cut open the envelope and trimmed some feathers... there are little red fuzzies all over the kitchen floor!), has pictures of Drew Barrymore (the lucky gull who gets to play me in the SoWal movie!), and has lots of other stuff that is very ME. Kat, I need to meet you in person and give you a big ol' hug! I love it!:wub: :wub: :wub:
