Description:

I'm going to keep trying this because I think it's a good idea! So here we go with Nursey Ryhme Series Swap #4! This time we're doing the children's rhyme, "Pat A Cake! Pat A Cake"! Only I'm changing it to "Pat A Cake! Pat a Cupcake"! I'm gaga over cupcakes. I can't tell you why! I just am!

The origins and lyrics of Pat A Cake

The origins of the Pat a cake poem are unknown, but the tradition of decorating cakes with the name or initial of a child is still adhered to today! The song Pat a cake is always accompanied by a clapping game - much loved by children everywhere. The actions which accompany Pat a cake probably account for the ritual of passing this particular song from one generation to the next. Earliest traceable publication 1698

Pat a cake, pat a cake, baker's man
Bake me a cake as fast as you can
Pat it, and prick it and mark it with a "B"
And put it in the oven for Baby and me."

Each swap member will have 1 partner who you will send 10 items having to do with cupcakes! Use your imaginations! Google!

Examples:

Cupcake Papers

Cupcake Toppers

Cupcake Embellishments

Cupcake Stationery

Cupcake Buttons (at least 5 counts as 1 item).

Cupcake Apron

Cupcake cookbook

Cupcake Hat

Cupcake Suncatcher

Cupcake Cookies

These are just items that I've seen. The list is endless!

At least one of the items needs to handmade, of course! ATC, note card, hangtag,etc! Package everything as if you were giving gifts to an honored friend! Do yourself proud!

Everyone in USA/Canada is welcome. Newbies welcome! PM me if you have 1's or 3's. I, of anybody, know that LIFE HAPPENS!

REQUIREMENTS:

You will have 1 partner who you will send 10 cupcake items. 1 of these items will be handmade. Plan to spend $7-$9 before shipping, more if you'd like.

TWIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone who joins this swap and finishes will be in a giveaway drawing for the cookbook, "Decorating Cupcakes, Cakes, & Cookies". See the above image! Good Luck and Spread the Word!!!

EDITED: Signup extended.

..I'd love to participate in an international version of this swap, if anyone else would do, perhaps? :-)

I'm sorry - I'll have to drop from this swap. I was really looking forward to this, but I'm concerned that your profile shows that you are partially suspended.

I have already made and purchased my items...and I am very saddened by the partial suspension, I too must protect myself, by stepping out of this one. Sorry, maybe next time.

Anyone who is worried, please read the full explanation in my profile.
