Eagle Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Ours were all sent yesterday. Ds had so much fun making them! I can't wait to see how excited he gets when he starts to receive mail. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemrae Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Ours went out yesterday. We've received two already - dd is having fun!!! :boxing_smiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arghmatey Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Ours are all in the mail. The first batch went out a few days ago, and the rest of them are in the box to be picked up by USPS Monday. We received our first cards today, and it was very exciting for my children! Thank you for organizing this!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antsam Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Ours are also going out Monday and we have also already received two valentines! The boys are excited! I usually get them from the mailbox and keep them hidden until valentines day so they have a lot to open! Thanks everyone! Jodie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2bdeutmeyer Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Ours will be going out Monday as well!!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violamama Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 We drove around with them all ready to go in our car for 3 days and finally made it to the post office today. When we got home, there was another new one in our mailbox and my 7 yo son said, "WOW, we should send this kid another one, mom. This is so much fun!!"

DaffodilDreams Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Ours went out awhile ago, and dd has received 5 so far, I think. Like last year, she's having a blast checking the mail each day. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 They have begun to pour in. 1, 2, even 3 a day. Dd is loving it. We took ours yesterday to get mailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helena Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Just picked up a big ol pile of Valentines from our mail box!! Thanks everyone, each one was fun to open. :) I hope my kids will still want to participate next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodiesmom Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I just want to say thank you to everyone! We have all of our valentines that we have received so far taped up on one of our cabinets and it is just a beautiful mixture of homemade cards and store bought cards. The kids love seeing the creativity of the homemade ones and I particularly am enjoying the store bought as those are the kind I mainly grew up with (thus holding a special place in my heart). ;-) D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkacademy Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Ours went out on Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipper Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Ours went out today - I'm hoping they make it in time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelli Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I had the kids decorate Valentine boxes just like they do in ps. I've been putting their Valentines in their boxes as they come in for them to open on the 14th. We found this super cute idea using a cereal box but it we had already made ours. Also, one quick caveat, I had to pay $3.20 to get two of our valentines from the mailman because the sender had not put enough postage on a bulky envelope for it to be delivered. Please make sure that if you have odd shaped or bulky valentines to double check the cost to mail them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Cook Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Whew! We weren't the only ones late. :coolgleamA: I am so relieved we aren't the only late ones!! Ours went out today also. We have all been sick for a couple of weeks so this last weekend was the first the kids felt up to doing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Ours went out on Friday. I think you, Slipper and I were the last ones sending them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arghmatey Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Oh, I hope the late senders were for our list! My daughters hand-made all their cards (20ish) and have only received 6 or 7 back so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz007 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I just want to say thank you so much to Jennifer for putting this Valentine's Day exchange together. My children had a blast opening their cards this morning! The homemade ones were very creative! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Thank you, everyone! DS opened his cards this morning, too, and they are fantastic! What fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly in IN Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Thank you Jennifer for organizing the Valentine exchange. My dd had a blast opening her Valentines this morning. She made/decorated her Valentine Box a few weeks ago & was so excited each day when a Valentine was in the mailbox & she could place it in her Valentine box. She is now busy coloring in the states on a US map where she received a valentine. She received such cute, clever and fun cards/activities. Thank you all! (and she had fun preparing the Valentines to mail.) This was a great experience for her :thumbup: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emcap Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I also wanted to say thanks, my boys have been so excited to see the mailman every day. They are already looking forward to next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please make sure that if you have odd shaped or bulky valentines to double check the cost to mail them. Ours were bulky, so I really hope it wasn't one of ours! We took them to a mailing shop and had them weighed and posted accordingly. If you think it was mine, please pm me. I really don't want anyone to be out money because I messed up! If it was me, I want to make it right! ETA: I want to thank everyone for doing this! It has been so much fun, and ds thinks it's just about the coolest thing to receive so much mail just for him!

You know how karma comes back to bite you...well all of our Valentine's that we mailed out on Saturday, just showed back up at our house today because the post office considers them bulk mail so now I've got to go to the post office and add an extra $1.15 to everyone's valentine cards. :cursing: So I'm thinking it might just be our stupid post office. The mailman said that it was because of budget cuts and people losing their jobs that if they can't run it through their machine then it is automatically bulk mail. I don't even remember who sent the valentine, so no worries. :thumbup: And my kids loved all of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always the paranoid one. I invariably think if something goes wrong, it has to be my fault. Anyway, Happy Valentine's Day to all!
