TODAY is the LAST DAY to check in. To remain in the swap, you MUST check in by today. If I have not heard from you, your pen pal will be notified that you are no longer participating.
Also....A NEW RULE. All twists MUST be sent together with your montly letter. This will be an easier way to keep track of all of the mailings. And if you are sending something via a company instead of sending the item to your pen pal yourself, then please let me know will be the only exception to sending off the letter, and twist seperatly.
Please also POST once you have sent out your letter/twist so that I can keep track of the mailing, along with the date you had sent out your mail. It makes it easier on everyone when your pen pal wonders if something was received, when the recepients wonders if a letter/twist from you were to have arrived......
And last but not least, PLEASE read through all posts. I do post things from time to time, maybe your pen pal has a question for you, or everyone else, there may be hints or changes regarding the current, or future Topic of the Month, Twists of the Month, rules, ........
I don't see those very often at all, so they were a delightful treat.
I received your letter today. It was great to hear from you and start to get to know you. I have to say that the cookies you sent (maple leaf cookies) are my absolute favorite. I don't buy them too much.... an absolute treat. Thank you.... 
Have a great trip Tracy. Mailed my packages out this morning.
I received your letter today. Looking forward to getting to know you. I love the peanut block and think I will enjoy it after dinner tonite with a cup of ice coffee with a little (or a lot) of Baileys
