Valentine card haul 2023

I like receiving mail and it turns out I like sending mail as well. It’s one of the least expensive ways to brighten someone’s day, and you can be creative as you want.

I’m a member of the MetaFilter online community and a small group of people who enjoy sending and receiving cards set up monthly and holiday card swaps. I often write about the cards I make and send out as part of , but I wanted to feature the lovely cards I received in return.

Here’s my 2023 haul:

valentine cards spread out on a tabletop. they are all pretty and overwhelmingly red/pink

Some are store bought, some are handmade. Some had stickers enclosed, one had a hedgehog made out of foam hearts!

a hedgehog made of small foam hearts and a googly eye
hedgehog? porcupine?

All were perfect in every way.

Ironically, WM and I don’t exchange cards. I texted him this though because I’m shmoopy like that.

a download from the NJ Devils website, it's a valentine featuring goalie Vitek Vanecek that says "just vanecek-ing if you'd be my valentine'

I hope your Valentines Day was exactly how you wanted it to be.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
