This swap has been a FAVORITE around here for a very long time!
I think everyone loves it so much because it is an easy, no brainer.
The Favorite Things Swap is about YOUR favorite things. You put together a package filled with things you love and want to share (these should be new items, not used).
Maybe it is your favorite magazine, hand lotion, lip gloss, dessert.
Maybe it is a tool you use in the kitchen that you love and can't cook without.
Maybe it is your personal playlist of songs you like...get creative.
Think of things you love...YOUR Favorite Things...buy them, wrap them up and send them off!
Pleeeeeeeeeeease read ALL of the info below BEFORE filling out a swap form.
Failure to follow the directions may lead to disqualifying you from the swap.
Yes, really...I swear I have rules because they work, not to be bossy.
Truly, Honestly, I am well intended, so please, please, please, just trust me and go with it!
This swap is open to:
1. US residents only
2. Active bloggers (there is no fun to be had swapping with someone who never posts, this is about getting to know someone and making a new bloggy friend) w/ min. of 1 year blogging.
3. You *MUST have successfully swapped with me before.*** All Newbie Spots have been filled as of 3.8.11@ 8pm***
4. People who agree to do the following:
a. Purchase YOUR Favorite Things and create a FABULOUS package for your partner, something you yourself would LOVE to receive. $25 min $40 max..before shipping cost.
b. Be home (not vacationing) between March 31-April 9
c. Once your package arrives create a post, with pictures, the NEW Favorite things Button and link to your partner's blog and Dandelion Wishes.
d. Send package on either Friday April 1 or Saturday April 2 (not before OR after) MANDATORY ALL packages must be sent PRIORITY MAIL...send tracking # to BOTH partner AND Mamarazzi on day it is sent!
5. Follow my blog (don't forget to grab my super cute Dandelion Wishes button for your sidebar there are two sizes to choose from, awesome)
Signing Up:(important instructions)
1. Fill out Mamarazzi Swaparazzi Form found under my "Contact Me" tab (if you are new please send me a note for permission to fill out form and participate)
2. Once you receive a confirmation email FROM Me containing the code for the Mamarazzi's Favorite Things Swap button create a post using the button in the body of the post (sidebars do not count, it will not fit on your sidebar).
3. Link up THAT post here in mister linky.
I should have everyone matched up soon leaving plenty of time for shopping! If you know you are on my naughty list please don't sign up, I hate having to tell people they can't play...but I will, because there is NOTHING worse than sending a package and getting nothing (or something craptastic) in return. NOT gonna happen on my watch, YO!
DO NOT LINK UP OR POST...until you have confirmation from ME that I have received your Swaparazzi Form! PLEASE read all of the steps to make sure you are signing up correctly!!!

I am going to do all my Christmas gifts this year in brown paper bags and string. I think it looks really cool.
I did (one time) find site that I could buy the sting from. I didn't stinkin' mark that page. Now I don't know where it was I seen that string. But I do LOVE the idea!!!
Oh, dadjimit! I have swapped before but not with you or any of the other gals. Any idea when you might be hosting a swap open to new folks?
woooooohooooo!
Fun:-)
Oh blast! I'm going on vacation April 7th! You need to let me know when these things are going to take place so I can plan my trips around them :)
Sure wish I could participate this time around! I had such fun with the one I did with you before! You are a top-notch host, in my book!
I'm alllllll in!
BRING IT!
I'm not sure why I said that. I'm just super excited!
So excited!!

Wahoo! I'm excited. :D
I want to be even MORE creative than in the past with this one...hrm hrm hrmmmmmm.....
Also, don't know if everyone knows this already, but you can order Priority boxes in any size FREE off the USPS website (they come in packages of 10). Just a thought. :)
well here I had to go and live in Canada, I can't play, it sounds like it would something so fun. If you ever decide to open it up further than the US, or maybe if you need an extra (wink Wink) keep me in mind
Fun stuff... I'm excited!
I'm in and cannot wait for another wonderful swap experience!
Me, me I wanna play too! So excited to swap--this spring needs some kick starting around these parts.
You know me. I have to hem and haw for a bit and I'll skid in at the last minute. :)
OKAY! Somehow I jumped to the old swap and linked and posted (sorry) now I'm on the right one...haha
Can't wait to be a part of this!!
K, so first off, I'm now sarajo, instead of Sara Richins or Sara R. Just FYI.
And I'm totally excited for this! Really, I love swaps! Can't wait to make a new blogging friend!
Yeah, my first swap, I am super giddy, lol....
And I agree with Shari on wrapping the presents in paper bags and strings! Looks so pretty!
Just submitted my sign up yeah!
I love the Favorite Things Swap, but I won't be able to participate this time! My huge Autism fundraiser event is April 2nd, and I'm just worried I'll be too stressed and forget to send or something crazy! Have fun guys, this is a great one! XoXo
Man..This would have been a blast! I have done several swaps but not with you :( oh well...Will you be doing one for us new people anytime soon??
XOXO
So excited! :)
Favorite things should help me forget about the fact that Mr. Groundhog lied and its not spring yet around these parts! Super excited!

Really great way to connect. I wish I could get in on this one. Never swapped before.

Oh, man! Bad luck for me. I didn't get a chance to get to my computer yesterday and when I saw this swap on my Reader I came rushing over to sign up. Bummer that it is closed. I guess I'll just have to jump faster for the next one! Have fun! I'll join up for sure on the Vlog, though!
So I always wrap my gifts for the holidays in brown paper. everyone loves how cute they look! I am pumped about making another box of stuff I love! warning - it might all be pink! lol
All linked up...this is going to be so much fun.
I can't wait!!!! :) Woop!
*sniff*!!! I missed it! If you need any filler people, let me know! :)
I am so VERY excited! I LOVE doing your swaps...almost as much as I LOVE YOU!!!
Sorry to be a little late - but post is up!
Love friday confessionals. they are so much fun! :)
So sorry! I didn't mean to sign up for the swap. I guess I pushed the tab key when trying to link up my confessional post. :)
Super excited about being in the Swap... Can't wait to share some of my Favorite things!!!
Thanks!
Maureen
Thanks for the great link-up!!
Thanks! I can't wait!
I'm kinda bummed - I signed up right away and never heard from you - It would have been nice to know that I was rejected and why....
I follow you and have linked up before...I mean there were only three people on the list when I sent my email to you...What else were you looking for?
i want to do this - will keep on checking back to see when you do it again! looks like fun!
Dang, missed it. I was putting out my awesome BLOOM blocks that I got at last years sping swap and ran over to my laptop to check in.
I will have to put a postie up on my blog or something for next year.
Have fun...cant wait to see what you guys come up with for this year.
Have a great week.
