    Dear podkinz, I am really excited to find out who is going to win the election! Actually, I just had an election in my class! It was for the class rep, (They help plan school activities), I didn’t win, a very popular girl did, but their was a tie between me and another girl for the alternative! I am excited for the results, but if I win I might give the opportunity to my best friend, because she was very sad she didn’t win. And if Daisy really wants to become mayor of kinzville, my suggestion would be to look a what people are saying. More than half of webkinz world doesn’t want her to win. Maybe you should make some changes. Instead of taking away things, add new ones. There is room for both Daisy and Mr. Moo. There is room in the W shop for sweets, and healthy food. Being a Mayor means you are trying to make the town a better place. This is a very interesting year in webkinz world.

    I wanted to run as Mayor of Kinzville, but none of my comments about it got posted. :( I’d like to see a mayoral candidate who will make some of our suggestions from the Suggestion Forum actually happen!

    • Gennelle Webkinz says:

      All of the candidates running will be Kinz from Kinzville. Also, the staff are aware of suggestions from the Suggestion Forum so definitely voice your opinions there!

    I’ve never been a president of a club before but I’ve done a lot of things as a leader for many clubs I’m in :) :) :) I ones was in a Webkinz Fan Club with some of my friends :) It was really fun :)

    • prprprprp says:

      OMG, I’m starting a Webkinz Fan Club!! :D Too bad you can’t be in it…that would be really fun if we knew each other. I’m still figuring everything out, any ideas? I think we will have crafting and we will make webkinz stuff, like the rainbow loom creations by DIY Mommy, and some Krafty Kritters stuff, and I don’t know what else. Any ideas? I would love any suggestion! Because we can’t do only crafts, you know?…maybe one day we could have a movie night and I could play one of my webkinz movies? (I’ve put a lot of work into those, some take months to make, they have scripts, LOTS of actors, background music, credits, and are usually at least 2 hours long! They really are movies, so that could work…) :)

    Dear Podkinz, I ran for Vice President of our pioneer club in 5th grade! I also ran again last year, and I was thinking of running for president this year, but I might run for Vice President again because I like it so much! I don’t get to make a lot of changes because there is still an adult leader in charge. It’s still a lot of fun though! I’m really excited to see who will win the election in WW! I’m probably going to vote for Tabby Von Meow. I think she’ll make a great leader! ~*JaneOfAllTrades*~

  7. JaneOfAllTrades says:

    I love making stop motions too! I make them with playmobile! I’ve never actually finished one though because my camera gets full pretty quickly and it takes awhile to empty it. I’ve finished a few short ones that were only a few seconds though! I really want to try and make one that’s a few minutes though!
