Today in the U.S. we honor his birthday. One of my favorite quotes

Faith is taking the first step, even when you don’t see the whole staircase.

AND a Happy Birthday to Boper!!!

I am holding on to several adoptions for after Wednesday’s updates.  Krafty is waiting to open her recent adoption gifts in hopes of new Exclusives.  What are you looking forward to with Wednesday’s update?

What would you like to see change in Webkinz World?  I know that I would like to be able to put any item in ANY type of room – indoors, outdoors, treetop, underwater.  I would also like a few of the less desireable POTM items to retire and to have some new POTMS and new Signature Exclusive Items.  And goodness knows I want Ganz to RETIRE the Tornado in a Pot!  UGH!  😆

So share here – your best ideas, your Webkinz fantasy list . . .  I know that this group knows Webkinz World inside and out and has a level of creativity that knows no limits.  Perhaps we can get someone’s attention at Ganz if we come up with creative suggestions.  So let’s put on our Thinking Caps!

Hopefully the admins can help me – let’s try to put the suggestions in BOLD so they stand out from the chatting.  (The Thinking Cap is not currently in the eStore, so don’t expect a prize.  Aw shucks!  🙁 )

Thank you all who participated or simply joined in the fun! We have three winners who listed their ideas of where the admins might be.  The contributions were too funny to have only one prize winner, so here are the winners and comment for which I attempted to award appropriate prizes.

dee -  ‘crazy is shrimp fishing with bubba gump’
Prizes – Salt Water Aqua Table, Fishy Lamp, Snowy Face Stickers

moms -  ‘i think dee was testing recipes for her new baking instructional videos, but unfortunately she’s a little behind in technology and thought  she could do something with reel to reel or audio on 8 track, last i heard she was sitting in her pantry muttering in german and counting her supplies in case of a global food shortage.’
Prizes – Camera Operator Cap(to film dee’s video), Lunar Lugbot Toy(global crisis), peanuts, Snowy Face Stickers

Gwenda – I loved your ‘Alisha-Was searching for the elusive blue & yellow lobster’, but couldn’t find a lobster anywhere. So referring to moms looking for a house with bigger closets, and you wanting a white tiger…
Prizes – Seaside Palace Sand Castle, kinectimal White Tiger virtual plush, Snowy Face Stickers.

The Grand Prize estore code for the Ming Tea Trolley goes to, by the toss of a Parcheesi dice, MOMS!

Thank you!! ♥

And from Momskinz’s Birthday contest – Part 1 – the winner for her ‘gift of gab’ was GRAMMA.  Gramma won a Webkinz Blufadoodle Code!!!   Gramma – email dee at her bbqeeun email address to receive your code.

I too must have been medicated…Moms has also won a purple goldfish for her birthday and the post! Moms email rollingfur for your code.

Today is Friday the 13th, so we will celebrate with a contest!  It ends at Midnight.  Comment away for a chance to win – will this be your lucky day or not?  Prizes might be lucky or unlucky . . .  You MUST have your WWID in your name & YOU MUST add gymbokinz & Kinzheads in Webkinz World!

The fear of Friday the 13th is called friggatriskaidekaphobia (Frigga being the name of the Norse goddess for whom “Friday” is named and triskaidekaphobia meaning fear of the number thirteen), or paraskevidekatriaphobia a concatenation of the Greek words Paraskeví (Παρασκευή, meaning “Friday”), and dekatreís (δεκατρείς, meaning “thirteen”) attached to phobía (φοβία, from phóbos, φόβος, meaning “fear”).

How is your clicking going? Winterfest has been extended thru Sunday, so we have extra chances to click with 10 snowflakes per account each day this weekend. And if you log in this weekend, you will get a free winterfest party pack (from the party glitch problems).  Do you have your own winterfest at your home?

The Winterfest Challenge begins this Weekend in Webkinz World to win the Arctic Tundra Wallpaper & Flooring.

The Winterfest Peek A Newz on Webkinz Newz continues all month with these prizes:

Where are the admins? post your guesses/ideas here. Most creative gets a prize!

We aren’t sure why WW is down this morning, but we hope to see it back soon!  Ganz is cutting into our Winterfest time . . .

Plus there is a cool new Ganz eStore promo to get us spending our estore points.

Howdy howdy!

I might be the only one who uses this thread but just in case, here is a place to chill until an admin gets here to make a nice thread.

I am disappointed in the winterfest with the new limits on flakes per day and the vast number of food items.

This is a nostalgic time for me as I started at the blog shortly before the winterfest of 2009, I believe. Due to the friendly atmosphere here and the great people we were able to participate in the winterfest :-D  The rest is history, lol

Alopexia Lagopes’s room is next to be decorated!
