Description:

This is a pen palling swap for people living in the United States :) The goal is to find new and interesting pen pals :) You will have one partner and you will send your one partner an intro letter about yourself. The twist is that only 1/3 of your letter can be in your handwriting!! This means that the majority of the letter you must use magazine cut outs, stickers, stamps, words printed in funny fonts off the computer and any other technique you can think of! It should be a lot of fun to create and fun to receive as well!

The picture I have on the swap is an idea of what it should look like (my started letter). You can use paints, colored pens, etc. to make it even more fun! The requirements are that it be a full sheet of computer paper or binder paper long AT LEAST. That means if you use stationary, you may need to use two pieces. Use your best judgement but "Hi, please write back" is just not going to cut it! Other than that, just be creative in your penmanship and make it a fun art project!!

Since people will be spending time creating these letters; you must give positive feedback for any one page, intro letter, with creative penmanship positive ratings! Also include a heart if you can tell they worked hard on it!! I encourage you to write the person back (although it is not a requirement of this swap.) Also, because it will take people time and creative juices you must have a rating of 4.9 or higher and have swapped before to be included. I will ban anyone who seems suspicious.

Thank you for joining! Start getting your supplies together now and make a masterpiece of mail :) :)

I love the idea of this swap but wish there was mire time between signing up and having to send it out.

Maybe later if you host another like this, I can join. Very creative, for sure! : )

I know. I am sorry about that. I am due to have my son anyday and can't commit to more time hosting a swap! I will do one in the future with more time! Thanks for the interest!
