Wow, we are now on Round 10! Can't believe that we had gone through that many rounds! If you are a returning pen pal participant, you know how the routine goes. Weekly check ins, let me know if you will be away, send out your letter by the mail by date or sooner, and post as soon as you receive your letter, and twist!
If you are new here is how this swap works.
You sign up, and will be matched up with a pen pal. Each month, there will be a Topic, and a Twist of the Month. Topic-I will give you something for you, and your pen pal to talk about, and feel free to write anything else you wish to them. And the Twist is something you will purchase to send to your pen pal. In the past, twist consisted of-send your pen pal something edible from your state-(this is a popular twist, so I have been using this one in each round or most of the rounds), send your pen pal something they are able to use in their kitchen......
Weekly check in-You are required to check in each weekly on the monthly thread. Just say hi, checking in, write a message.... this is so I know you are still around, and active. Check ins are from Monday-Friday. If I do not hear back from you, you will be dropped from the swap. So, if you will be away-vacation, emergency....please let me know ahead of time.
Please, ONLY sign up IF you are able to follow these rules. No pen pal likes to be dissappointed when someone does not follow through. At the same time, this is a fun way in getting to know a fellow exchanger, to go shopping, write a letter, and to wait each month to receive a letter, and twist from your pen pal.
Sign ups will be till Wednesday March 28th. And pen pal info. will be given out starting/mid April so that everyone is able to get a head start on their first pen pal letter for May. Letters are to be mailed out by the second Sunday of each month. If you have any questions, feel free to post here or send me a pm.
To sign up, please send me the below information-
Name-
Mailing Address-
Email address-
Number of pen pals you would like to send to-
Are you willing to be an international pen pal?
Do you have any allergies?
*Who were your past pen pals....(you may get the same pen pal as a previous round, depending on who signs up
).
