Pen Pal Package Swap

There are many swaps that give you the chance to write a letter to a potential future pen pal. Through this swap, we're going to take that first meeting a step further. Instead of sending just a letter, we're going to send pen pal packages that really allow for us to get to know our partners.

Package Requirements:

Each package should include...

• A introductory pen pal letter (at least one page in length, handwritten or typed)

• A mix CD that showcases your favorite music (at least 15 tracks with a track listing)

• An example of one of your favorite crafts (i.e. an ATC you've made, something you've knitted, an altered book you created, etc.)

• A sheet of twenty questions for your partner to fill out and return to you (basic get-to-know-you type questions--nothing inappropriate, please)

• A small profile-related surprise for your partner (handmade is fine, or something inexpensive if purchased)

You are more than welcome to add other items that you feel would help your parnter get to know you more.

We will send one package to one partner. When you receive your package, please fill out the twenty questions from your partner and return them promptly. When this swap is complete, you will have the opportunity to have two new pen pals (the person you sent to and the person you received from). It is up to you whether you keep writing after the swap. If all goes as planned, this swap will help you to know more about your partner than just what they would say in an introductory letter.

Please note that this swap is international and (depending on what craft you include) postage could be expensive--please keep that in mind when signing up and while creating your package.

This is a fairly complex swap so no newbies (you must have completed ten mail swaps prior to signing up). Ratings of 4.9 or higher only, please.
