Rny Make You Smile Pen Pals.

So, I was thinking, how fun would it be to have a monthly pen pal? Someone new each month to send a box of goodies or things that you have found helpful. It is something that I have been thinking about for sometime now and would like to get started. There would of course be a spending limit and some general rules but I wanted to get a feel as to if anyone would be interested in participating.

If you are interested reply with an email that I could send you more info to. I would love to get this started!!

Got my April box from Candy L.-thank you so much! It was a wonderful surprise. My box had all kinds of great protein bars, mixes, sugar free candies, home made candy, popcorn, note cards, stickies, fruit, a box of single servings of my favorite chai tea, etc. I felt spoiled! :]

Hi guys!

We have had some crappy weather here so I wasn't able to send email last night. Be looking in your inbox tonight so you can reply as to if you would like to be included for May.

We had a great month last month!!

Thanks,

Tasha

Ok guys, I just need to clarify a few things. Some people have sent me emails "grouching" at me for not responding. I to have a full time job, a part time job and a family with sons that are in every sport possible. I try VERY HARD to respond to everyone as soon as I can. This program is fun, it's a way for us to connect and support each other on a different level. I love what it is doing and the fun that most everyone is having! I'm proud of how large our group has gotten!

I will get back to everyone that emails. As far as participating, if toy show interest after the 5th of every month you will be notified the following month. It is far to hard to try to fit everyone in after I have sent out names.

A few people have decided to go out on their own, that's fine with me but please start your own thread on here. If you are emailing someone directly without me giving you an email address, I can not and will not be responsible in any way shape or form.

I want this to be a fun and enjoyable program for all. I don't want the old saying "a few bad apples ruins the bunch" to become true of this program!

As always if you have any questions email me at TASHAPETTIT@GMAIL.COM

Thanks to all of you that support this and continue to do so! ;)

Your awesome! I don't know why anyone has a reason to grouch. If you need some admin support. Just let me know

Thanks for all you do no one should gripe your taking your time to do all this and then some people sign up and don't follow through those are who they should be gripping at not you.

It's very clear how pin pal works and everyone should appreciate you taking your time to organize all of this

A big hug and THANK YOU for all you do

Hi Everyone,

I just sent out the June email. Remember that you HAVE to reply yes or no as to whether you want to participate for June. If you did not receive an email from me and want to participate you have until June 6th to let me know.

Once again if you sign up PLAN on PARTICIPATING!!! It is heartbreaking to send out a box and not receive on in return!!!

JUNE 6th is the DEADLINE

Would anyone be interested in an international or European version of this i think it is such a grand idea

Hey everyone! Thanks for hanging in there! I have just sent out all the name for this month.

We had baseball tournaments and I am a little behind!

If I have missed anyone please email me at tashapettit@gmail.com I have been having a few issues with email this week.
