Description:

Each particpant will list several books they have enjoyed, in the comments section below.

Once partners are assigned, we will look at our partner's list and choose one book with which we are already familiar, or that we'd like to read. (If you have the time and inclination, find the book and read it!!! If not it is enough to research it on the internet. I've left us plenty of time in case we want to read the book!)

Choose two small items from the book to wrap and send to your partner, for her to put into her stocking. Be sure to add your name and the swap-name to each gift! Also include a note (sealed, or inside the presents) to explain how they relate to the book you e chosen. If you read the book you might mention what you thought of it as well.

These items may be anything at all... Purchased or handmade...

List any book you like, even if someone else has listed it!

Examples:
if the book is Anne of Green Gables, you might send a string of (very) fake beads, like anne's pearls, or a piece of cheesecloth and a toy mouse, or a small slate or chalkboard, or a pen, etc...

If the book is Peter Pan, you might send a thimble, a tiny fairy of some kind, a sheet of pirate stickers, a tiny teddy bear, a postcard of a newfoundland dog..

Understand? The idea is to be creative and to have fun.

Two small wrapped presents relating to a book your partner has enjoyed... Labeled with the swap name and also mentioning how the items relate, sent ON TIME (it is for Christmas morning, after all...)

Rate a five once it is received (if 5 is applicable) and edit as needed upon opening.
