ooooohhh...I love seahorses, jellyfish, fish, octopus, starfish, squid. I like them more realistic than cutsie. This will be fun!

FarStarr 03/ 9/2007 #

Oh yeah..I also forgot to mention lobsters, crabs, mussels, clams, anemones...you get the picture...

Cloverst 03/10/2007 #

I don't have any preferences!

Aerochik 03/10/2007 #

This one can be lots of fun!!! I love the ocean and all that goes with it, I guess my favorite see creatues would have to be dolphins and seahorses tho. And I love lighthouses!!!

madpeoplejen 03/12/2007 #

I LOVE octopus, jellyfish, crabs, and turtles.

asdftyjklm 03/16/2007 #

my favorite sea creatures are jellyfish, squid, stingrays, whales, anemones, starfish, and sea turtles. also octopi.

Lunaria 03/20/2007 #

Jellyfish and moon jellies, sea anemones, starfish, sand dollars, sea urchins, any little tidepool creatures.

FarStarr 03/24/2007 #

Nudibranchs belong on my list too. Along with tunicates and sea cucumbers....Can you tell I wanted to be a Marine Biologist when I was a kid?

Lunaria 03/24/2007 #

Forgot to add shorebirds, love them all, even seagulls who steal your bag of chips on the beach.

FarStarr 03/25/2007 #

oh yeah..and PUFFINS!

ninjaprincess 04/ 1/2007 #

i will be happy with any ocean related items, but i am an absolute freak about jellyfish, and they are hard for me to find

suzylucie 04/ 2/2007 #

Wow, lots of jellyfish lovers out there. I guess I've been stung one too many times to love the critters myself but I adore turtles (jellyfish's only predator). Anything is fine with me...even jellyfish.

Cloverst 04/ 3/2007 #

To expand on mine yeah I do love anything sea related but if it's menacing in real life please make sure it's cute! Last think I want to see in the mail is a mouth full of teeth! lol

I was lucky enough to see a really rare nudibranch while we are scubadiving in the maldives, the instructor was so excited he almost forgot what he was doing! Of course we'd never heared of them until then and must have come across as very dim! I wish I'd written down the name of it now...

ellawitch 04/ 3/2007 #

i would prefer cute to realistic if possible. but the real things aren't bad! ; ) i am particularly fond of seahorses, seals, and turtles. the other creatures are fine with me too (i am not picky) except i am not that fond of sharks (i respect them and fear them. my friend went down in a shark cage in s africa i believe and i almost had an accident just looking at the pictures and seeing how close she was to that big shark mouth!).

clholmberg 04/ 3/2007 #

I love all creatures of the sea.I would be happy with anything.But my favorites are sharks, orcas, seahorses, turtles, coral reefs, manta rays, sea otters, dolphins, and clownfish. This list is truly endless because I have felt so connected to the ocean and all its creatures my whole life.

clholmberg 04/ 3/2007 #

And of course, penguins! How could I have forgotten them!

ellawitch 04/ 3/2007 #

ohhhh i love penguins!

Pezdiva 04/ 3/2007 #

Sounds like fun, while not totally related to the sea creature thing - I adore mermaids ;)

ozrob 04/ 3/2007 #

I better list my favourites!! I love and collect seahorses. My fav fish is the Moorish Idol. I have both tattooed on my arms. Thats how much I love them :o) I also like starfish, turtles, octopus and orca. I am a Pisces so I guess loving fish comes naturally.

ozrob 04/ 4/2007 #

Partners have been assigned. Have fun & happy swapping!!

ozrob 04/ 4/2007 #

If anyone hasn't posted preferences of their favourite sea creature, can you please post them here to help out your partners. thanks

Cloverst 04/ 4/2007 #

I just received an awesome package from Cori! Wow! This has to be one of my best swap packages yet. The octopus soap is cute (no, not too cute). I love swedish fish! I've been meaning to read "The Secret Life of Lobsters" for ages! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

suzylucie 04/10/2007 #

I just got a truly awesome package from Cori also...an exfoliating crab for my baths (love it and need it!), a cool book on great whites...which my husband comandeered and already started reading last night...and Swedish fish! Your letter was very nice and informative as well! Thank you so much, Cori.

I received a wonderful package from malaysia today! It contained a turtle keyring that was almost exactly the same as one I lost a while back! You could imagine my delight! Plus I now have malaysia stamps for my collection too! My daughter loved the killer whale toy btw. I can't get it back off of her!

suzylucie 04/16/2007 #

FarStarr...you rock! What a wonderful box! I love every single thing. The swap cards were so thoughtful and your photos are really amazing.The napkins,candles, notebook, stickers, napkin holder, wine stopper, fabric...WOW! So generous. Thank you so much.
