My name is J. I'm a 11 year old boy. I enjoy skating, skateboarding, swimming and playing bass guitar.

I like to read Japanese manga, fiction & fantasy.

My favourite food is aligator (I tried it once at an oyster restaurant). I'm a very good and adventurous eater. I try everything! I'm alergic to almonds and peaches.

I'm excited to learn about your life!

My name is Michael, and I am 6 years old. I enjoy playing my dad on the XBOX 360, and also on our PSP. I also like playing with my cousins, and doing my homework as soon as I get home from school so that I can go outside and play. My favorite food is ANYTHING!!! I LOVE IT ALL!!! but the BESTEST is when my dad makes us all Banana Shakes. I look forward to seeing where you are from. :)

Hi My name is Mia and I'm six years old. I enjoy doing anything outside but especially playing soccer. I like movies a lot too and I love going to the theater so that I can watch a movie and eat popcorn! I am in the first grade and love to go to school, read and play with my friends.

I love candy, but my mom won't let me eat too much. She sometimes is a softy and lets me eat it though!! Hee hee.

I can't wait to hear from you!

My name is River and I am 8 and a half years old. I'm a boy, thought I would add that since you can't tell by my name! I like playing on my playstation, pirates, scooters, reading, computer games, and learning computer animation.

I like candy! My favorite candy is gum, and I like lollipops too. I like nature, and playing outside, and climbing trees, and making fairy houses.

Hi! My name is Kitt. I'm an almost 6-year old boy (my birthday is in 4 days). I'm a vegan, so I can only eat candy that doesn't have milk (chocolate) or gelatin in it.

I like mechanical things, inlcuding my electric "quad" that I drive around the yard. I'm also learning the names of as many car makes and models as I can.

I homeschool which gives me plenty of time to play outside, play soccer with my brothers or make art with my mother. I also like animals, especially cute little dogs.

user3849 10/25/2006 #

Hello! I'm Frankie! I'm five years old and love to play outside, build with legos and play my game cube. I recently started to Karate and love that too!

I like candy (especially skittles) and like to color and draw power rangers! I like to ride my bike, watch movies and be silly! I like pirates and football!

I babysit for a girl who loves the idea of swaps, and her mom is cool with me entering her in this. Her dictation:

"My name is Ella and I want to be seven but I won't be for another half year. [She's six.] I like to play mermaids and pirates. I draw faeries and stories, and play with jewelry and I collect bottle caps and old things and outside things. [...she has a box of dirt in her room. just dirt. I'm trying to talk her into planting something in it.]

I don't eat meat or milk [her family is vegan - no animal products of any kind] but I like cupcakes and I like rice rolls. When I grow up I want to be a writer in a castle."

user4084 11/16/2006 #

I'm really happy (and relieved)to see that all of the swappers are rated 5 except two new swappers (hello & welcome)!

Don't want any kids to be disappointed.

Don't forget to match your swapper with the comments left here when considering what to put into your package.

Yay, happy swapping!

user5010 11/16/2006 #

Hello there! This is our/my first swap we are SO EXCITED!! My Daughter Maddy is six years old, she is in first grade. She loves candy (she is a candy NUT) although we are very careful about to much, much to her dismay! She has a great imagination and love all sorts of crafts projects everything from sewing to embroidery to coloring and gluing. Her favorite color is pink. She love fairies and her doll house! Hope that is enough info Can't wait:)

Dear Arlexis:

I am sorry that I mistook your name on the package. I sent the package today from Toledo. It should be there in the next two days. Zander

user4063 11/29/2006 #

J, I sent your package a day late, but is on its way via global priority, so you should have it soon. I hope you enjoy it.

mapps 12/ 1/2006 #

Ella:

Thanks for the great package. I hope you got a good swap tool I love the rice candy

Zander

sweetxjosephine 12/ 1/2006 #

You're welcome, Zander!

I got a great swap! Thanks so much, Annette! I especially love the faerie journal!!

CarolinaRen 12/ 6/2006 #

I am so tired of this...I have been ripped out of too many swaps. My daughter looks for the mail every day and now I see that the individual who got my daughter is one of the two who have not yet marked "sent." I arranged another private swap of the exact same type for another of my children since I couldn't sign up here twice...and that box has also not arrived. The only good thing I can say is that we are glad our partner liked what we sent.

sweetxjosephine 12/ 7/2006 #

That really sucks, Ren -- I'm sure Ella would love to put together a package for Annette. Would you mind?

user4084 12/ 8/2006 #

CarolinaRen, Sorry to hear your partner hasn't sent. I will send an email. I thought people would be considerate since this swap was for children and everyone but the new swappers were 5s.

user5010 12/10/2006 #

We haven't received our package either, our person says "sent". But nothing as arrived yet. Our first swap too. Doubt I will try this again. At least River liked his package!

user4084 12/12/2006 #

If it says "sent" but, you haven't received it, it could still be in transit. It is a hectic time of year for postal service.

I have sent the "not sent" swappers messages via email.

For those who have not sent, it is never too late to appologize and send! It's difficult to believe a parent would be thoughtless enough to take something for their child and not reciprocate.

We got ours yesterday
