Arachtion - I got your letter yesterday! Thank you for making me your first piece of goon mail. Living in Michigan the canadian coins are a common sight but I've never seen such new shiny ones. The roman coin is cool. I'm going to have to see if there are any A&W's still around here. I know there used to be.

Thanks again!

PS. Lamb - Is the list going to be updated soon with all the new addresses?

Yesterday I came home to find 3 pieces of goonmail waiting for me. Oh happy day! Thank you Foxxor, Thermophonic Joy and Tempura Wizard! And I have finally gotten around to taking pictures of all the loot.

From Foxxor the Red (I'll post another pic once I've colored him in)


From Lamb (recovered the silly bandz from the cats)


From Tempura Wizard, Arachtion, and Kafka's Goldfish


From Thermophonic Joy (all sorts of fun stuff! I hope the cucumber seeds will be okay until next year.)


From Amarie, Aunt Buck and MizFusion (some of the first pieces I received)


Oh and I may have mailed another batch earlier this week.....

Oooh, Monty Python, Princess Bride & Dr.Who. Love them all equally.

Hey everyone, I have a favor to ask. My mom has been quite sick lately (part of the reason I am behind on posting thanks for xmas cards) and she needs some cheering up. Would you kindly goons send her some fun/cute/cheerful cards to help her feel better? Better keep it clean since it is my mom. I would really appreciate it. I just want her to smile again and not be so miserable.

Cards can be sent to:

Could I request something similar for parents as well? My mom has taken a bit of a turn for the worse and both of my parents are kind of stressed as a result. Sending greeting cards isn't very popular in Chinese culture so I think it'll be a nice treat for them.

Shoozy - your mom makes adorable cards and I promise to make the brownies when my mom is feeling better.
13Pandora13 - your weiner dogs are very cute, especially Woody in the santa hat.
Dushkani - the foxy cubs are too sweet! :3:

Thank you to Opera Bitch for the card for my mom! She seems slightly bemused by this whole "cards from internet strangers thing" but they are making her smile. If anyone else is still up for sending her a card, please do. It is still going to be awhile before she's feeling better. At least she's home from the hospital now.

And thank you also to Disargeria for the Harry Potter postcard. That made me smile. :)

Mine aren't really goony - I grabbed a bunch from the dollar bins at Target and I'm going to add in a couple things to make it a tiny bit goony. Last year I sent out doofy Valentines of puppies and kittens - the kind that kids exchange in school. Got those from a dollar store.

Sounds like we might be sending out the same Valentines! :hfive: I picked up a bunch from the Target dollar bins too. I have some stickers and other stuff to add to them.

That sounds great! I finished my cards today, and plan to send them out as soon as my PO gets its V-day stamps in stock.

EDIT: I was thinking about it, and for those of you planning on sending out Valentine's cards, can I ask that some be sent to my mom? She got out of a ten plus year relationship last year that wasn't going anywhere, with a guy who was pretty selfish for most of it. I'd love for her to actually get something in time for Valentine's day this year. All I ask is that you keep it clean. I would really appreciate it and I know she would find it funny.

Shoozy I'm in the same boat so your brownie recipe is tucked away for later. Loved the Scooby Doo coloring page, I can't decide which side to color first!


DLAO Thank you for the Hello Kitty valentine. So so cute!


Lamb As usual your card has some many fun little treats! The hamster card is adorable! The fun fact was great and now I want to hear a cheetah purr. I'm going to save the treasure hunt until V Day. And all the robots stickers! Love it! Thank you!

Kafka's Goldfish- you are amazing! I love love love both needlepoints. But I must say the one based on my title is super special. And thank you for the card for my mom too.

Crazy Old Clarice, so many fun things in your card! Even a tiny card for mom. I can't wait to try the magic paint picture.

Now why did I have to lend my camera to my friend this weekend? So pics will come next week. THANK YOU all for the cards. This is so much fun!

Can I just say again how much I love this one?

And last night, I got this one from Team Lunch! The paper plane has been made, flown and destroyed (the cats were fascinated by it).


Like others have mentioned, I get positively giddy when I find goon mail in the mailbox. I do a little happy dance and the cats look at me funny. As another single on V Day, this makes this usually horrible time of year so much better. Thanks to you all!

I've gotten quite a bit of goonentine love already, and it's time to say my thank you's! First up is:


Vixenella and Alkaphanel! Thank you for the adorable elephant valentine, colouring page, and the romance conversation card. All very cute, and suitably Valentine-y. :buddy:



JimmydaFish, thank you for the awesome postcard! I think I've already sent a reply out to you for this postcard, so I won't bore you by saying the same things twice.



Shoozy sent me a cute valentine and a brownie recipe I haven't tried yet. I baked some muffins that were absolute abominations yesterday, so I think I might try this recipe instead this weekend to try and redeem myself in the eyes of my family. Yikes.



Pezmaster and Killamajig sent me this awesom

Te valentine and colouring page. I laughed so hard at the colouring job. Very well done... and not a bit suggestive. Thank you.



(I took the Lego apart so I wouldn't give away the puzzle to anyone who hasn't received theirs yet.) Rythe!!, thank you so much for the Lego valentine! Oh man, I had so much fun putting it together! I figured out the puzzle without looking at the hint, but it did take me a while. I had to sort out all the pieces first and when I realized there was only one of the square block, I knew that was the centre. Everything fit together pretty quickly after that.

This really reminded me how much I used to love Lego as a kid. :3: I'm so happy you sent me this! Thank you! Best Valentine's gift in ages, seriously.

Thanks for all the goonlove, everyone! I hope my letters start reaching people soon. :unsmith:

That is an awesome card but it's not from me. I wish I had sent it. :shrug:

Total embarassment of goon love in yesterday's mail. :blush: 6 cards! I was doing a happy dance and my cats were looking at me like I had lost my mind. I don't care. I am loving all the love. :love:

First up, Thermophonic Joy! Thank you for the card, stickers, and note (even if it was really for God Bless Johnny ;) )!



Marlowe, the maze is really cool. I don't know if I have the nerve to tackle it. And the card is so pretty.


Tremors, awww a homemade heart! So cute!


Dushkani, love the dachshund card and the handwritten note.


IM Jack, I laughed out loud at your prison valentine. Glad to know you've got my back!


And Niemat, love the Halloween valentine. You're right, they do both involve candy!


And finally, who needs a bouquet of flowers when you can have a bouquet of goony valentines? Not me. These will last longer than flowers too.
