Hi, playnowpuppy! It’s allyisen7. I was wondering if you had gotton my friend request! My username is snowwhite235.
I just logged on and saw your friend request :) I accepted it so now your on my friends list :D YAY!
Playnowpuppy, i hope you are webkinz right now but how old were you when you started to go on webkinz? And are you going trick-or-treating this year?
Hi allyisen7 :) I started webkinz when I was 3, (but not on my playnowpuppy account) but didn’t start to become a seriouse player until I was about 5 :) and no, I’m not going trick or treating this year because my family dosn’t celebrait Halloween, BUT I go to my church and dress up for games, prizes, treats, and rides :)
Playnowpuppy, Thats cool. I started to really play on webkinz when I was about 5 or 6. I am going trick-or-treating. I have no clue what i am going to be. :) Are you on webkinz right now? You can come to my webkinz house! Hope you had a good day. whats your favorite kind of webkinz, plawnowpuppy????
Great that sounds like fun :) and yeah maybe we can pick a time and I can go to your webkinz house :) and my favorite kind of webkinz . . . That’s a hard one to pick my 1# favorite but some of my favorites are the Webkinz Chimpanzee, Webkinz Pug, Webkinz Whimsy dragon, and probally my first Webkinz, my lil kinz Snt.Banard :)
No way, one of my first pets were the pug!
Thanks so much playnowpuppy! I love your ideas but I have to match my lil sis! We are usually partners, one year I was an eskimo girl and she was a polor bear. Then after that I was a cowgirl and she was a horse. THEN she was a dog and I was DOG CATCHER! But thanks for your ideas!
That sounds cool SignatureIsland :) Just like Micheal :) Except he was Hansal and Gretalle :)
These things are awesome! Btw Gennelle, when is maurizio going to do another “let’s draw” video?
Very soon! Stay tuned!
YAY! can’t wait!
I love the Let’s Draw videos!
I wonder what Webkinz Maurzio will draw next :D
Aww he drew a dog and bird cute!
Yay! Thanks Gennelle!
Yay! Can;t wait! I’ve drawn every one!!! :D
I would love to create computer art! But im more of a hand and pencil kinda person. im taking an art class at my school its super fun and I have been getting really good grades on my art projects. How awesome would it be to work for webkinz one day?
Yeah I’ve never done computer art just hand and pencil kinda stuff like u, but it looks pretty cool :) and yes I would love to work for Kinz that would be awesome!
Thanks for making Podkinz! It is a great way to know whats going on! :)
It and It gives u hints on whats happening soon!
i love the new costumes and new haunted items! so excited :)
Yeah can’t wait this will be so much fun :D
my weirdest costume was a teletubby as some little tackled me screaming “LALA” it was crazy guys! and i was magenta from blues clues one year and hannah montana. So embarrasing looking back
LOL. I know everybody you dressed up as. XD
I was a teletubby when I was really little too! But I was really little like 3 :)
haha playnowpuppy i was about 2 or 3 years too! haha it was super adorable and funny
Yeah I was the little red one, I don’t really even remember the show anymore!
I used to want to become an artist when I was little, because I have always been good at art In fact, it is one of my favorite subjects in school, besides math. Now that I’m older though, I’ve decided that I want to become an engineer, like my parents. It will allow my creative side to come out while using mathematics too. When I get to high school, my goal for myself is to take at least one art class per year. I always want to learn new techniques on how to make my art look better, or different styles of art. I think being a 2D or 3D artist for video games would be AWESOME though. If I had two jobs, my first job would be an engineer, and my second job would be something relating to art, like a video game artist. I LOVE ART!
That is so cool! Good luck with your art and engineering endeavors!
That sounds great sparklefun :) Hope your dreams come true :)
Thanks! =D I work really hard in school to get good grades. My sister claims she wants to become an artist, though at her age I probably still wanted to become one then too. We’ll see. She’s more girly girl and fashion queen type, while I’m a tom boy and a nerd :) :). She wanted to be a fashion designer when she was even younger, but maybe she’ll become an artist one day… Who knows? Thanks for all the support!
Your welcome :) Your sister sounds cool :)
i didn’t want to be an artist because i can’t draw.
It takes practice but u can become really good when u draw :) I can draw pretty well and It’s very fun :)
yeah i guess i give a try sometime.
My uncle is an artist and I have no talent for draing but I love to and am alittle bit good at painting
Painting is really fun too battakh :) Some people say that if u can paint well than u can draw well too :)
OH MY GOSH!!!! YOU GUYS READ MY COMMENT!!!! And liked my idea! I am so HAPPY! Thank you so much Gennelle and Michael for making my day. Still trying to comprehend this.
Congrats I know how great it feels to have your comment read Kinz read my comments twice :)
Dear Podkinz and Playnowpuppy, I ind of changed my mind about what I want to be for Halloween. I want to be something different. What I want to be is The Golden Record. The golden record is a golden record NASA sent into space about 37 years ago. We have recorded sounds, music, images and diagrams, and greetings from eart in the hopes that extraterestrial life(like aliens are life on other planets) will find it. It is now 11 billion miles from earth and dippping past the solar system. I think it is so cool. I’m going to make the costume because I have never seen this costume in stores and probably never will. I think it is super cool that we are trying to contact other life and I hope that someday someone will find it.
Couldn’t say in last comment because of space but…. The other reason that I want to be this for Halloween is because I think it is so cool and I think that a lot of other people would find it cool too. This way I can go door to door explaingin what it is. Also, there are some important details on the cover(which will be the front of my costume) such as where the solar system is located and how to play the record. Also, some people might think, oh well you sent it out 37 years ago, it probably wont even play if someone even does find it, however scientists are quite certain that it will play. Because it was packaged and protected. Scientists used the highest quality materials proven that water chemicals or anything else would not interfere with it. The only things that could happen to it, is if it got sucked into a black hole. But so far that hasn’t happened because it is submitting wavelength signals every minute to scientist monitoring it right this very second.
so that scientists can properly track its every move
Woah I never heard of that but It sounds AWESOME!
That is so cool! Great idea! I really like things that have to do with space. Wow!
LOVE that idea! You have such a creative imagination!
Thank you so much Gennelle and Playnowpuppy for your support and encouragement. Wish I could send you a guys a picture of my costume……. Wanted to tell you…. That one year I was a mail carrier and the next I was the heat wave. Because there was a HUGE heat wave that was in my city. My parents love my ideas especially my dad who is an analyst who works for the government.
but again, thank you so much for support and encouragement. It doesn’t go unnoticed.
Aww thanks a bunch battakh :) U should put a picture of your costume on the Share center :)
