love it!

Would people prefer handwritten or would typing be okay?

GoingTwinsane 12/17/2009 #

I like handwritten. It's more personal.

Mamabemus 12/17/2009 #

I don't care if it is handwritten or typed. I personally have alot of trouble with my hands so I cannot handwrite, sorry.

GoingTwinsane 12/17/2009 #

Typing is okay for those with hand issues (arthritis, neuropathy, etc.) If you are able to handwrite (like me, I just get lazy because typing is faster) try to do it that way. But don't handwrite if it causes you pain.

Okay, cool. I just bought this neat memo pad with flowers... can't wait to use it!

StephanieFromTN 12/18/2009 #

I don't care if mine is handwritten or typed. Handwritten does seem a bit more personal, but if you can't, then you can't! Ya know?

I always handwrite mine unless I'm just in a rush and really want to get the letter out :) I've only ever typed two letters out of all the ones I've ever written. Not too bad.

Just wondering if you have messaged the two newbies in the swap.

One has a tiny bit of a profile and the other nothing at all :/

Not yet. I will tomorrow. Rest assured of they do not meet the requirements they will be banned :)

Hopefully I'm not relaying this info too late...but all mail to Andrea N. Guzman (SRGChamp) should be addressed as:

Andrea N. Guzman c/o Mrs. T. Washington 215 East 96th Street, #10G New York, NY 10128
