Update 1/22/10- Please do not get discouraged if you have not been paired yet. I am activley trying to get the word out about PenPals for FarmKids. If you have any ideas just holla at me. We do have another FarmKid listed,Yay
---------------------------

-please include screen name in your e-mail (just makes it easier)
-any questions-just e-mail me
-------------------------
Update:1/9/10 - Please take a moment to review all additions. These have been put into place to help ensure this goes well.
**Note: has been added
Color codes:
Names in
Green-Paired, Confirmed and good to GO
Red-Paired but not confirmed
Blue-waiting for a penpal to sign up and be paired
------------------------
It has come to my attention that some of our children are interested in PenPals and would love to have something come in the mail just for them.
This is my very first attempt at organizing anything on the net.
OK, so the post over in the bartering section about "subject needs to be addressed" has me a little nervous about messing up. This is my committment to anyone that signs up.
I will do my best to orgainize this and keep this going.
If at anytime I am unable to, I will try to find a replacement. If I cant I will communicated that as well.
Please read the expectations and rules/proceedures before making a committment. This is very important as these are our childrens feelings.
**NOTE: If there is more than one penpal in the household-please let me know if you would rather wait to be paired at the same time or as they come available.
*Only 1 PenPal assigned per child
*Include Gender and age of interested
*Kids will be paired
girl-girl, boy-boy
age-close in age range
*letters should be hand-written
of course younger ones may want to draw and have parent help esp. with addressing
*letters should be sent at least 1x a month.
*If at anytime PenPal looses interest or can not participate any longer. Please write partner one last time and communicate to them.
**contact me so they can be taken off the list and PenPal re-assigned.
*Sign-up List will only have Farmgirl Name, gender and age of child.
ex. Kayce (M,7)- Tanna (M,7)
*Farmgirls are asked to contact the other farmgirl to exchange addresses by:
-clicking on Farmgirl name and going to
-e-mail Farmgirl-include your screen name and "PenPals for FarmKids"
-exchange addresses
Reminder-check SPAM FILE (sometimes email from MJFconnection winds up there)
-please post on this thread that you have the address of your pen pal
-once both sides confirm on this thread that each has the others address I will update there names to GREEN
Let the fun begin.
Just in time for Valentines (My boys call in Buddytines)
(Updates on info will alternate colors)
{Please post on this thread that you have sent ME an e-mail me.... due to some have gone into my spam file and I check here before my e-mail}

Kayce, my youngest neice is a huge MJ fan. I bought her a subscription to the magazine and we have been making lots of projects like aprons, knitted hats, the Gingerbread barn, etc. She made all her Christmas gifts herself this year!! (with a little help from Grandma). I think she would be super interested in a Farm Kids Pen Pal. I'm checking with her to see if she would like to join. :)

Covering both bases.
Chicken necker, I have emailed you. Just in case they have gone to the spam file. I know I have to check both places.

Hi Kayce, If your daughters want to have only 1 penpal I will pull out. I already have lots of penpals so I will understand. Please let me know soon.

Hi Kayce!
I got your email. My older daughter (Age 7) would love, love, love to be paired up with the girl that you suggested. She's so excited to start her pen-pal adventure! Thank you! |

Kayce, If we notice one of ours is paired, should we be contacting the other person to get their address, etc. Decide among us who will send the first letter, etc?
If money can fix it... it isn't a problem. (unsure author)

Kayce, I haven't received any email and I checked spam. It may be a problem on my end since I changed emails since I joined. I'll check and try to email you.
