This is an international penpal swap with a theme. This month's theme will be: Tell Me About... "Why you live where you live". What do you like about where you live? Why do you live there? Or anything else you want to tell your swap partner. Try to write a minimum of 2 pages and if you'd like to you can send a little treat with your letter (stickers, tea, candy, etc).

Please, only people with a rating of over 3. If you have more than 2 no-sends then please don't join... I'm sorry but I don't want to take more chances of people not getting their letter and being disappointed. People new to swap-bot are very welcome to join. I'd like for everyone to have their profiles filled out so that we know who we're writing to. Thanks. :*)

Let's have fun with this!

Must the letter be handwritten or may it be typed?

lilmouse 12/31/2006 #

You can do either - handwritten or typed, it doesn't matter. :*)

lilmouse 01/ 9/2007 #

Everyone- please take a look at the swap since I changed one thing. I'm asking that if anyone has more than 2 no-sends please don't join this swap. I'm not trying to be unfair but I want to make sure that we don't have anyone who is disappointed & doesn't recieve their letter. Thanks.

Oops. I just re-read the details and got the answer to my question above. :)

Hello! First swap, how/when do I get a partner? Any other hints for a new person? Thank you.

lilmouse 01/17/2007 #

Welcome to swap-bot! You'll get your partner on the evening of January 31st, the last day to sign up for the swap. When you view the swap there will be a new choice for you to pick that says "view your partner"... just click on that and you'll see who you're sending to. :*)

My letter is coming from France and on it's way to Canada. I sent it today. It'll probably take at least a week to arrive in your mailbox. :)

Triceramolly!!!

I got the letter I sent you returned. It said they attempted to delivery it but couldn't. I double checked the address and it is the same as the one you gave swap-bot. Please email me at [email protected] and let me know if you want it sent somewhere else or if I should resend it and cross our figners...

butterflykisses 02/11/2007 #

Leeduck - your letter went out today. Sorry it was sent at the very last minute. I've been away from home for a few days but I sent it priority mail, so it should be there by Wednesday at the latest. I only live a few states away from you so it may even get there a bit faster!

coolwicca 02/11/2007 #

Erin, I sent today, but it probably won't go out until Monday. I am sorry it is late. I got very backed up with everything. Hope you are not too cold. We are here in the South of the United States. I am looking forward to reading about whoever my partner is.

user5875 02/11/2007 #

Samantha S - I put the letter in the postbox yesterday evening, so it won't be sent out until Monday. Since it's international too, it will probably at least a week!

gonegg 02/11/2007 #

I sent my letter on saturday! I can't wait to get one!

keroleen73 02/12/2007 #

Hello! I was off sick last week but managed to post my letter to Washington on time.

Saor 02/12/2007 #

I got a nice letter today from Mandy. Thank you for the lovely extra:) I'll reply by snail mail.

lizjane86 02/12/2007 #

I hope you get your letter soon, mmmontserrat

DaCraftyLady 02/13/2007 #

Hi sent my partner an email to see if she got my letter yet as I mailed it out a week and half ago...I sure hope its there??

Zmrzlina 02/13/2007 #

I hate not knowing if the stuff I sent arrived. It means that if it gets lost, you don't have time to fix it before getting a bad rating. I really wish people would always take a moment to acknowledge receipt.

KarlaKC 02/14/2007 #

Kristen, although we've already emailed and you know your letter is on the way, just wanted to make a record here in the forum! Hope it gets to Japan quickly. I had FUN!

Stacy (goobearsmom), Zmrzlina's comment above (which I wholeheartedly agree with and am ashamed I didn't follow through myself) reminds me to let you know that I received your letter last week. I LOVED receiving it - your letter was a great read, and I loved all the stickers you included, and the card of flowers wishing me a belated birthday was a wonderful touch. Oh and I loved how you included a menu of one of your favorite hometown cafes there in Akron, NY! It made me HUNGRY to read it. It also made me think to pick up a cute menu from one of our local eateries to maybe send to a letter pal, too. THANK YOU for a wonderful letter, Stacy!

StuffbySteph 02/14/2007 #

Bernadette, your letter arrived today! Thank you so much, it was a pleasure to read and get to know what sounds like your very family-friendly hometown. I really appreciate the bookmark too! Thank you :-)

lalouja 02/14/2007 #

Jennifer, Thanks for your fascinating letter and the print of your picture. It was so interesting to see an insider's point of view of LA. Bernadette

AngrySpinner 02/15/2007 #

Liana, I got your letter today. :-) It was interesting, because I grew up in Germany and moved (though not directly) to NY as an adult, though I'm a US citizen by birth. :-)

Your penmanship made me nostalgic; I'm really glad you decided to hand-write. Tschüss.

--Jen

ladydy5 02/15/2007 #

Got my penpal letter and tickled pink with it. Hope we continue on Liana. Diane

coolwicca 02/15/2007 #

Jan, I was blown away by your package! It arrived today (2-15) and it is wonderful. I will indeed write back and it will be typed for health and penmanship reasons. So, of course, I don't mind that you typed. Thank you and I will rate you as soon as the program allows. Janet

lilmouse 02/15/2007 #

KarlaKC- I'm so glad you got the letter and liked it. :*)

lilylemon 02/16/2007 #

You're adopted -- Did you get my letter?

Zmrzlina 02/16/2007 #

Oh what fun! I got a letter today from Japan. I'm so happy because I never did get a letter from the first in this series.

Kristen, I love the letter... the little map and your background history. Just wonderful. Thank you very much!

Elcoeda 02/20/2007 #

Abby ! I got your letter today ! Thank you, it was a fun read, and I shall write back in a week or so, when my life gives me a breather !

Thank you !!

lizjane86 02/20/2007 #

erinszoo, I haven\'t gotten your letter yet. I won\'t rate you, because I don\'t know if it got lost or not. Just letting you know!!!

DaCraftyLady 02/22/2007 #

I got my package from Jami in Detroit today. Thank you it was great to read all about Detroit and the area around it. I got a Newspaper, postacrds, buttons, and maps with historical info. That was great, thank you Jami!!!

lilylemon 02/24/2007 #

I really wish people would acknowledge the receipt of a swap. How hard is it to let someone know you received something they put time and effort into? Also, what if the swap got lost in the mail and letting the sender know it didn\'t arrive could allow her time to send out another swap and avoid a \"no-send\" rating? My mama always taught me to say \"thank you.\" :)

user5636 02/26/2007 #

Hi

I received my swap from Stephanie Lilloran. It was a really great letter with lots of extras. I loved the letter and I want to communicate in the future with her.

gonegg 03/14/2007 #

I have not received a letter, and the one I sent out was returned to me. I tried to resend it with del conf. and the po says it is sitting at the po and will return to me after 15 days, it has a snack in it Amanda B. Can you check with your delivery person? Thank you.
