CLOSED no more room!!
Due to the AMAZING response I am no longer taking RSVPs, thanks to everyone who signed up!
Back by popular demand: Mamarazzi's Favorite Things Swap!!
My last swap was such a HUGE success that I decided that it was time for another!
If you want to participate please CAREFULLY read ALL of the rules:
1. by signing up you are committing to do the following:
a. be able to be in constant communication with Mamarazzi via email (if I send the group an email I need a response within a few days please, it is too stressful wondering if things got lost in cyber space, the key to a successful swap is communication with ME!)
b. put together an amazing package of YOUR favorite things. This should be a package that you yourself would LOVE to receive (I didn't think this would need clarification but I read something funny in a comment on someone else's blog...you don't fill it with the favorite things you already have you go buy new stuff and send that...like a brand new tube of your favorite mascara, a new copy of your favorite book or movie etc. Everyone clear?).
c. the contents of package should cost no more than $30 but be at least $20 total (not counting shipping) I came to this amount after a 2 people got less than thoughtful packages after sending out beautiful well thought out packages to their partners, and from feedback on how things should be done the next time...i feel this is fair.
d. send package ON Monday March 2. (if you need to send sooner please let me know)
2. RSVP by grabbing the super cute button and posting about the swap on your blog and coming back and linking THAT post here to Mr. Linky. This is the ONLY way I am going to accept an RSVP...I need to make sure that everyone is fully committed. Please understand that I personally have been on the crappy side of NOT getting a package from my partner when I participated in a gift exchange hosted by another blogger. I want to make sure that there is not ANY way that someone can be left out, overlooked or gypped on a swap that I am hosting, not gonna happen!!!
3. Get your RSVP in BEFORE Friday Feb 13...I also have a certain number in mind for the amount of people I am willing to organize this for. So get that RSVP in FAST!
4. Once you have posted on your blog about Mamarazzi's Favorite Things Swap please send me an email @ never2pink at yahoo dot com with the following information:
a. Real name and Address
b. blog address (must have blog to participate, if private must be willing to "invite" partner to read blog)
c. email address
d. food or product allergies
e. would you be willing to ship internationally? (this is an additional cost, please keep that in mind)
A-D will be shared with your swap partner. The SAME person who you GIVE to is the person you will RECEIVE from...no secrets here, just pure FUN!
5. Once you receive your package in the mail create a post using pictures on your blog. Be sure to link your partner and Dandelion Wishes (you can just use the button again). I will have a Mr. Linky for everyone to use so we can all hop around the blogsphere checking out everyone's loot!
For an example of what exactly you are signing up for please see this post...there are also lots of links to some of the people who played too...AWESOME!!
CLOSED no more room, sorry!!
*THIS MR. LINKY FOR RSVP ONLY*
DO NOT LINK FOR ANY OTHER REASON
I also want to thank April from Bloggy TLC for creating the super cute button for my swap, could you just die over Jordan's little mail bag and hat?! April is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G...she is also VERY affordable, so if you have been thinking about a bloggy makeover SHE is most def your girl, check her out! AND bonus if you mention Mamarazzi's Favorite Things Swap she will give you 50% off your order...now THAT is awesome!

Here's hoping your swap is a huge success.
i love me a swap...and since your last one was my first, i will soooo be doing this one...will be back soon to mr linky!
thanks for organizing!
did anyone else read the rules thinking, "Was it me? Did my partner think my package was crappy?" :-|
Fun stuff , H., can't believe you're willing to host this again, but I'm definitely willing to package up some more fun! Thank you!
I'm in again. I love Favorite Things Swaps!
Oh, I wish I could play, but I'd better sit this one out. I like the new, more specific guidelines!
I am so excited! Thanks for hosting another swap.
What a great swap!
I'm excited :) Thanks for hosting it!!
I'm so IN!!!!
(great new rules btw!!)
I'm in. I was so bummed that I didn't get to play last time. Great new rules. No one will be disappointed this time!
I am in in in !!!!! Gonna go work on putting this in my Not Me Monday post.
I'm excited! I love swaps!
I'm so in! Sounds like such fun, and I've been wanting to do another swap.
I am looking forward to participating. My email is amerskine@hotmail.com
Slight situation.... I live in US and Canada. I can have the package go either place, so we can work together on that. Thanks for the swap.
I would love to participate! I will work on my post and email to you when I get home tonite (at work now)
I just want to say that I am glad that you are so strict on your guidelines. I participated in one a few months ago and my partner did not send me my package until she recieved hers from me ( she sent mine back in the SAME box I sent hers in) and the stuff I recieved was not something that much thought was put into. I know that won't happen here. Can't wait to see how it goes. :D
I am so exited to participate in my very first (and hopefully not my last!) swap. I hope I will do my partner proud and send off something they will love! Can't wait to meet my swap buddy!

How do a I the "button"/
New to blogging, but excited about your swap. Hope I am not too late!
COUNT ME IN!!!! YAY, this sounds like fun.
I'm with Jen who posted just above me.
I'm new to blogging and was able to put the button on my sidebar as a gadget but I don't know how to insert it into a post.
Help please!!! You can leave a comment on my blog if you like with your answer.
Oops! Silly me, I didn't scroll down far enough when I was copying the code for the button. It's working just fine now.
Oh I came across your blog and read about swap of your favorites. I can't join this time but I will be joining next time. I followed you already....
Look how many peeps have signed up!
I would love to do your swap again, but I just can't right now. I will be coming and going out of town almost constantly for the next two months.
I would love to do this. I used to do swaps all the time and haven't done one in forever.
How cool! Hopefully I'll catch this next time. :o)
*tear* i was planning on signing up last night, but my internet went out. keep me informed on the next swap.
I'd love to join the next swap! I think it's such a neat idea!
Dang it! I wish I would have found your blog sooner, and I could have done this! I have some awesome "favorite things"
