Since Decemeber is the month that everyone will be receiving their pals info., the Topic of the Month, and the Twist of the Month, I will be starting the WEEKLY REQUIRED checks in from the first week of December. I will make a new post, and you will start to check in there. Each week starts on Mondays-and I sometimes start the new check ins from Sunday, but I do post that check ins are open.....and the last day to check in for the week would be on Saturday. I will need to hear from each of you that week to continue on. If you will be away during the exchange period, please let me know so that you are exempt from checking in, and so that I along with your pen pal knows that you are still around, and participating. Please check the posts/boards reguarly since I might just post a message for you on the board rather than pming you. I hardly ever send out emails. And I also giving hints, and such from time to time.
