Description:

A swap to ease us into February (Letter Writing Month)!
I'm also hosting an international version in the International Fun Mail group.

In the comments below, list at least 5 themes/topics/questions you'd like your partner to write about. If you don't list any, your partner can write whatever they feel like.

Write one letter to your partner from a theme they pick. The amount of text should be about one side of a sheet of Letter paper (8.5" x 11"), approximately a few paragraphs.

The twist? Don't use letter paper, memo sheets, aerogrammes, or notecards to write it. Make sure your letter is readable. No tiny text or writing on a background with not enough contrast.

Some ideas for what to use instead:

  • calendar pages
  • photos
  • paper bills/receipts
  • flyers/ads
  • postcards
  • planner pages
  • book pages
  • fabric

Feel free to get creative with what you write on or if you'd like to decorate your letter!

Include one flat surprise for your partner. The surprise isn't profile-based, but avoid their dislikes.

I'll check for slow raters, late senders, non-raters, double profilers, etc. before assigning partners.

Bread, your favorite time of day, textures you especially like, a sound that annoys you above all others, something in nature you find scary

Favorite pet, alive or passed; if you're a reader talk about one of your favorite books; how successful were you at last year's resolutions; a country you wish you could visit and why; as a child what did you want to do when you grew up? How does that compare with what you are actually doing; think of some one you really admire. Are you jealous or envious of that person? It's there a difference?

Write about yourself and your family.

What are your hobbies?

What do you like to cook and bake?

Do you have any goals for this year?

Do you like to volunteer?

I am open to you writing whatever your heart wishes, but if you need some ideas…

Your favorite book.

Your favorite place you’ve visited.

What melts your heart?

A secret.

A regret.
