TNW: My Favorite Plant/Animal is . . .

Do you have a favorite animal? plant? Yes? Then this swap is for you! You'll have 1 partner and you'll get to share your love of your favorite (or one of them ;+) with your partner.

Here's what you'll send to your partner:

• a note discussing your favorite animal or plant. You'll share what you know about your favorite and why it's your favorite. For example, maybe you love mushrooms because of their unique shapes . . . maybe you love birds because you have one or you feed them . . . maybe you love orchids because you grow them . . . you get the idea!

• 1 or more pictures of your favorite

• something for your partner to use featuring your favorite. You might send a couple of postcards, a memo pad, a little coin purse, a bookmark, some handmade envies or anything else you like. The only requirement is that it feature your favorite animal/plant. The item sent is not meant to be expensive--just a little something your partner can use and appreciate.

Feel free to include anything else you'd like--an article (in print or printed out from online), more pictures, personal photos, etc. Really give your partner an in-depth look at the plant or animal you choose.
