Hi there,

If you missed out join Newbie Penpal Swap #2 http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/48125

I used to always have pen pals from all over the world, but sadly I haven't had any recently. This swap is for one pen pal letter to your partner, whether you become pen pals out of this is not guaranteed - but of course would be nice.

For this you will have two partners who you will send your letters to. It should be of a decent length, being at least a few pages. You can tell your partners whatever you choose but should be about yourself, life, where you live, family etc.

Also you should throw in something your partners would like, such as a packet or two of tea/coffee/hot choc, ribbon, stickers etc. Check their profiles for ideas, it only needs to be small.

Hand written is preferred but if you know your handwriting is hard to read typed is ok.

This is international as stamps aren't too expensive. Newbies are welcome with a filled out profile. No recent unexplained 1's or 3's. A rating of 4.8+, if you have any unfair ratings message me. I have the right to ban any shady swappers on this one.

Enjoy xxx

Hi! I just want to let you know my nickname has changed, but I'm still the same! =P I used to be "user7489". Cheers, Francy

Since I am in this swap, I wanted to let everyone know... my letter WILL be typed. I have severe fibromyalgia & lupus, so handwriting my letter is too painful. I hope that who ever I get as a partner will be ok with this. I promise it will still be a long one :)

@deercnc We're in the same health boat!

This is my first penpal swap, I haven't had a penpal in awhile (my last was in Canada) so I'm looking forward to getting some cool letters! :)

Ladies, I don't mind. Whatever is fine with me. :) I can't wait to get my partners. I haven't had a pen pal since I was about 20.

We have some pretty awesome people in this swap. People from all over the world, walks of life etc. This should be lots of fun, I'm thinking about hosting a second one. Anyone interested?

myveryeducatedmother 10/26/2009 #

I have NEVER had a penpal so this is just too exciting to me!

Hello! I just signed up and was wondering how I begin to swap with someone? Is there a link with the info or can somebody please fill me in. Thanks a bunch! =)

Tarabell150 10/27/2009 #

Hi. I am new. This will be exciting to have a penpal!

mishap 10/27/2009 #

hello I am new too but I just mailed my first swap and it was thrilling to put them in the mail box! I did the Liar Liar (lol) After the sign up dead line you will get an email about who you are swapping with. Go to that swap and on the right side of the screen you can see who you swap with and you can go to thier profile and read about them. Then after you mail it, you go to sent so the coordinator knows you sent it. Thats all I have learned so far. I am a newbie newbie

I'm still waiting for both of my partners letters - I'm disappointed, but I'll hold out on giving any ratings until the end of November.
