Description:

This swap has 4 parts to it! So make sure you follow it correctly. There is no set minimum on how much you must write, but please put a lot of time into this. If you're not planning to write a lot of detail, please do not enter this swap.

First, you will write about your past... Who were you as a child? How did you see things in the world (your family, holidays, school, friends, etc)? What was your favorite toy(s)? How did you handle problems/conflicts? Who were your friends and what were they like? Who were you closest to in your family? What do you miss most about being a child? What are you most grateful to let go? There's SO many things about your past that you can write about here, so don't just limit it to the questions I've listed in this paragraph.

Second, you will write about your present life... Who are you today? How is that different than your childhood self? Do you like who you are today? What's your favorite thing(s) about your life right now? ...etc, etc, etc...

Third, you will write about your future... Where would you like to see yourself in the future? Who do you want to be in your life in the future?

Lastly, write a little letter to the person you're sending this to.. You don't have to write much because of the fact that you already wrote a lot about yourself. But show interest in your partner now!!! This could start a friendship! Feel free to add extras, like photographs or anything that represents something you've written about in this swap.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. This is the first swap that I'm hosting, so I might have left some things out without realizing this.

I really like this. This is a great idea!

Great idea. It would be nice if the person you write to also becomes a long time pen pal. Just a thought.

I agree, that's why I made the letter a requirement :)

I love this idea! <3

I would love this, if it weren't for the letter requirement. I mean, the whole thing IS already a letter. I'd do this if it were just a definite one time thing, just "this is me, bye".

Postage dates for the UK, USA = 10th, UK end class = 17th, 1st class = 21st. So no one will be able to send out till January. xxx

@BeautifulMess I'm not really sure what that means.. But basically, as long as you drop it in the postal box before the 29th, that's all that matters. It will most likely arrive afterwords, considering it is the holiday and all.

I'm extending the date on this. Not so that I have more time, because I'll most likely be mailing mine out by tomorrow...but because the holidays are a bit of a crazy time, so Merry Christmas everyone! You get more time :)
