Sign ups are now OPEN!!! We will be having another three month round for the pen pal letter swap. This will be for the months of Feb., March, and April.
If you are not familiar with this swap, it is where you are assigned a pen pal, and you will be sending them a letter, along with a twist for each designated month. For each month, I put together a topic, which is called the Topic of the Month. It will be a topic that you will write about, and you can write about anything else you wish to tell your pen pal. Along with the letter, don't forget to send your twist TOGETHER with your letter. What is a twist? The Twist of the Month is where I pick out a general item that you will send to your pen pal. We have had twists based upon what holiday is coming up, regional items, ...... sometimes they are the same type of twist from the past if the twists were popular
, and there are new ones thrown in.
This time around, for those of you who had participated in the past, and as I had already mentioned, you may get a pen pal that you had already. In this case, you will be able to get to know them more. And you will still be able to enjoy your twists that you receive-which is always fun isn't it
? Twists are to be light in weight, something you can just put into an envelope or if you wish a box...your choice. But it is something extra to enjoy!
Same rules as before. Letters MUST be sent out by the second Sunday of each month. If your post office is closed on Sundays, then your letters must be sent out by the second Saturday. You MUST remember to post on the sent/received thread to let me know as soon as your letter/twist has been sent out so that I along with your pen pal is able to keep track of your mailings. And you MUST check in on the weekly check in. I will open up the check ins on either Sunday or Monday, and you MUST check in by that FRIDAY. If you are MIA....you will be removed from the swap. If you will be going away during the swap period, please send me a pm with your dates so that I know what is going on....
Sign ups will be till December 27th, and pen pal info. will be given in January. If everyone follows the rules, or even sends out their letter/twist early, then I may reward everyone by posting hints, or saying what the Topic or Twist is for the following month early so that everyone or those who are early birds a head start.
This round, I am asking everyone to help in giving me at least three ideas on light weight/unique/fun.... twist ideas, as well as topics. I love to hear ideas, and who knows, I may just pick your idea that you submitted!
