Description:

For this swap you will need to make something that relates to one of the "favourite things" in the song from the Sound of Music (see below for lyrics if you need a reminder). For example, you might decided to do "whiskers on kittens" and make a kitten stuffie with long whiskers or make a small matchbox with kittens and things representing whiskers.

Pick your favourite art or craft style or ask your partner for suggestions (or read their profile) on what they would like to receive.

The choice of which "favourite thing" you want to represent is up to you and be as creative as you want in your interpretation of it. Whatever you send must be handmade.

Please include a note saying what the "favourite thing" you chose was and don't forget to say your swapbot username too.

This is an international swap. Only one partner for each person. You must have a rating of at least 4.5 to participate; newbies are welcome with a filled out profile.

Something fun and creative to do in the quiet period over the holidays!

My Favourite Things

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, brown paper packages tied up with strings, these are a few of my favorite things.

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels, door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles. Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings. these are a few of my favorite things.

Girls in a white dresses with a blue satin sashes, snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes, silver white winters that melt into springs, these are a few of my favorite things.

I love this idea and will definitely be watching! One thing that concerns me though is the rating requirement. People with a 4.5 usually have a bad track record and I'd hate to work hard on something nice only to be flaked on...

Hi Kath, this is my first hosted swap and I was basing the requirements on what the majority of the ones I have looked at seemed to be. I'll do my best to check over people's profiles after the signup date to check them out.

I just wanted to say that I have had the bad fortune to be flaked by not one, not two, but three people who previously had a 5 rating, so there is no way to know who will flake. It's obviously more likely that someone with a lower rating will, but you just never know. I've also run into that swapper that most of us have, that will not give you a heart no matter what you do..I have sent beautiful boxes full of extra stuff that related to their profile, only to get the bare minimum 5, and no comment about the swap.. Go figure!!

What a great idea for a swap. I would love to join but this is bad timing for me. I am going away for the holidays. Will join in if you do this one again. Let me know if you do. Thanks.
