Jennifer3141 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 I'm working on the lists!! I have houseguests and they have stayed an extra day so I might have to push this off by 24 hours. But I'm getting you all! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allie911 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 We would like to participate again this year! I've got two kiddos - an 8 year old boy and an almost 7 year old girl. I'll PM our address to you. Thanks for organizing again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Is it too late to join? We'd love to participate! I have one DS, 8, who will be joining in the fun. The others are too old or too young. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathy_overman Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Oh, how fun. We have 2 boys, ages 10 and 8 who want to participate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer3141 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Ok. The list is now CLOSED. Everyone should be hearing something from me in the next hour or so. If you do not have something for me within two hours from now, please do message me. :D We're getting there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer3141 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 MEGGIE!!! I am unable to send you a message. Are you out there still? Post here so we can figure out what to do. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer3141 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Ok. At 6:00 p.m. EST, I am closing this down. I keep warning you all but I'm a sucker for worrying that some little kid isn't going to get any cards. But I cannot get a final count on the big list until I do shut 'er down. So far we've got a big list of 60-70 and two small lists of 20-25. The big list will definitely close tonight. All edits will hopefully be done tonight too. At least one of the the smaller lists should be done too. What I can do for stragglers is hold people in reserve on another small list and see who we get. So don't outright panic if you missed this. I am worried I'm giving mamas heart attacks based upon some of my PMs. And one more thing - if you have questions, ask them here. Last year's participants probably know the answers and my PM box is almost filled to the top. I don't want to delete stuff until I'm sure everything is good. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tots2teens Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Just saw this!! We would love to participate!! Add us in anywhere you can... My kids are 2yo ds, 6yo dd, and 13yo dd.

amydavis Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 We took part in a valentine swap last year, but I hadn't thought to look yet this year. My dd8 just asked me if she'd get to do it again this year, so I came to look. Unfortunately, I see you've closed out the list. If you have room for another, or if anyone else is interested in starting a new list, she'd love to participate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer3141 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 I need the mom of the two little boys in ST PETERSBURG FL to message me, please!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer3141 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Amy, there will be one more list of about 15-20 people going out tomorrow. I'm composing my last stragglers tonight. I've got about 7 moms who missed the cutoff. :) Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer3141 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Ok. I am waiting on complete address information for three more moms for the last list. So if anyone else wants to jump in QUICKLY, go for it. So far, we have had 117 kids participating this year. And I don't know how many moms that is. A LOT. That's about all I can say. lol We will have four distinct lists floating around out there. And I'm still looking for the St Petersburg, FL mom!! FOUND HER!! Nevermind... I cleared out my inbox as much as I could this afternoon. It was full again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer3141 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 The fourth list so far will be: Mafi39 Ravinlunachick Skirch Spryte Amydavis tot2teens antsam k2bdeutmeyer SarahA Reign bzymama23 And two other moms who want to remain anonymous. So if you are wondering where your list is and you are NOT on the above list, PM me so we can either find your list copy or make sure you are on this one!!

Jennifer3141 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 A few more things... I have tried like CRAZY to keep screenames and addresses seperate so no one knows who is who. Last year, I had two board members in a war over kilts or cupcakes or the ingredients of GS cookies or whatever strongly request that they not have to send to each other. <insert deep sigh here> We tried to accomodate them last year by going as anonymously as possible. I did the same this year, just in case there's a secret or not-so-secret board war brewing betweens mamas or factions or time zones or whatever. So you may indeed be sending a Valentine to the children of your arch enemy in another time zone but unless you know that arch enemy's address from a previous interaction; you should not know it now. Have a few chocolate-marshmallow hearts and keep quiet. This new board has two mailing options; "invitation" which means everyone who gets the message can reply and see everything else or "copy" which seems to mean everyone gets one individual copy. I tried like crazy to always use copy but sometimes I forgot to change the format. I apologize. I know I at least once used the "invitation" option and a small group of people saw each others' names and addresses and screenames. I'm very sorry. Invitation made a pure MESS. Then I didn't have to read one message, I had to scroll down through a sometimes 15 message long thread. Argh, mateys as one of our screenames made me think. Between that and the cap of no more than six people on a message; I had a wee bit of a pileup between new people coming on, edits to information, and people flipping on and off different lists. Oh and my mailbox kept filling up. We're going straight to email next year!! So one more time, if you do not have in your message box an email called something like, "Valentine List - one, two, or three" and you do NOT see your screename on the one post up, PM me immediately and we will find you or place you.

Element Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Jen, seriously. You are simply amazing. Thanks again for your hard work on this. It is going to make so many kids happy on Valentine's Day. One question: I was sent a "big list" part one and part two. Is that the end of the big list? Or will we still have more addresses coming?

Jennifer3141 Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 That is the end of the big list, Element! :) And thank you. My kids LOVE this too. Once we start sending out, I will have to monitor them or they will run right out into the street to get the mail everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saraha Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Just so I am sure, if I have 3 girls and we are mailing valentines to 2 boys, does that mean we put 2 valentines or 6 valentines in the envelope? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Element Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Just so I am sure, if I have 3 girls and we are mailing valentines to 2 boys, does that mean we put 2 valentines or 6 valentines in the envelope? Thanks! I think everyone does it differently, but we are sending each child his or her own envelope. For instance, both of my kids would make valentines for your 1st dd and we would put both in an envelope and address it to her. Then we would do the same for your second dd, and again for your third. That way the kiddos each get to open their own letter. :) Last year, though, people did it all different ways and they were all fine.

Jennifer3141 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 All of ours are out too and I sent Valentines to every single kid. :) They have started to roll in here too and my kids are thrilled when they go to the mailbox. Feel free to post how you are giving them to your kids. I save them for the actual day and on that morning, they get to go to their boxes and pull them all out. Then they get their presents from Dad and I. The kids will then spend the day stuffing them back into the box and taking them back out and looking at them all over again. DS will count his carefully and DD will scream happily about all the friends she has. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
