Continung on with ROUND 4 of our Pen Pal Letter Swap, this will be a three month committment. You MUST follow the rules, read through the threads fully-in case there is a message for you on the board, check in weekly-Sign ups are from Monday-Friday. *** If you do not check in, you will be taken out of the swap. And if you are away during the swap period, please let me know of the dates before you leave. This way the sender, receipt, or myself will not be worried about your or their letter. If you do not follow the rules, you will also be put onto the nonsender/late senders list.
If you agree to the above, and would like to join in on the fun, come and join us to get to know one, two, three or so exchangers.
Each month, there will be a Topic of the Month as well as a Twist of the Month. Letters may be handwritten or typed. The twists are optional, but everyone mostly participates in them. Twists could be something I ask you to make, something store bought..... Then there is the Topic of the Month. This is something that you answer or write about in your letter. You can also write anything else you wish to your pen pal, but this is just to help you out in coming up with something to write about each month, and so you and your pen pal can get to know each other better.
With having a shorter writing period-3 instead of 6, this will be a way for everyone to get to know each other better. We will start fresh, so maybe you might have a pen pal you previously had, or someone new. Maybe because of the length of time, you may want to pick up more then one pen pal. I hope that this continues to be a fun way to get to know another exchanger better, and one that will bring a smile to your face when you receive happy mail! Pen pals will be given out by April 11th. Once I reveal the twist, and the topic of the month for May-and I give the okay to send out letters/twists you may send them out-and post on the May thread that you have sent out your letter. As you receive your letter, post on the May thread so that your pen pal knows that you got their letter. And don't forget to check in weekly-(easiest way to remember is to write a reminder on each Monday on your calendar to check in, and as you do, cross it off). And don't forget to scan the posts to see if there are any special messages.
To sign up, please pm me the below info.

Email address-
Are you willing to send internationally via Air Mail? Yes or No?
How many pen pals would you like?
All letters must be mailed out by the second Sunday of each month-NO EXCEPTIONS unless previously okayed by me, and I know about it. Sometimes if all letters have been mailed out early, we get a full check in by a certain date....I will reveal the twist(s) or topic(s) early as a reward/incentive.
If you are new, and never participated in the Pen Pal Letter Swap before, feel free to look at the current or past swaps to see what this is all about. And, for everyone please feel free to ask me any questions on the board, or send me a pm.
REMEMBER-NO ONE LIKES TO FEEL AS IF THEIR PEN PAL IS NOT DOING THEIR SHARE OF KEEPING UP, AND FOLLOWING THE RULES. SO, IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO ABIDE BY THE RULES, PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP. I DO NOT WANT TO BE SENDING OUT ALOT OF PMS, REMINDING PEOPLE OF CHECKING IN.....SO I WILL BE STRICTER THIS TIME AROUND. AND SORRY FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DID DO YOU PART IN THE PAST SWAPS, BUT BECAUSE OF PEOPLE WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY SPOILED IT FOR OTHERS OR DID NOT FOLLOW THE RULES, I AM HAVING TO BE TOUGHER WHEN PUTTING TOGETHER THE UPCOMING SWAPS.
***Also just to keep things a bit more private since pen pals will get to know each other better via letters, I ask that you not write too much personal information on the board, since others are able to read it, and your pen pal might tell you something that they do not want to reveal to everyone.
Come, and join the fun!
