Snowboots is the fullsize Clydesdale, so that you can get an idea for the size of the Table. It is 4 squares large. And, when you click on it, you will see that you can cook with it! The image below is resized to 50%.

And here she is, in my "W-Shop," all excited about all the new clothes she can now actually wear!
Notice that she is waving with her little foot! When I first adopted my Pink Googles, she wasn't able to wave like that. So it seems all the problems with the Pink Googles have been resolved!

Is Ganz Hinting at Something?
(Please note that this is pure speculation on my part!)
A while back, we were "introduced" to a mysterious character named Sir Charles Rhineholt. He ended up becoming a friend of Plumpy. You can read about all of this in Plumpy's column. But something interesting struck me - and that is that this "Sir Charles Rhineholt" was said to be a historian of Webkinz. Even his name is rather historic sounding! I wondered then if perhaps Webkinz may be adding some new feature, or perhaps publishing a history of Webkinz or something like that. Well, now I have stumbled upon yet another indication that there is "history in the making." Take a look at this picture:
I found this in the "Fun Stuff" category. It's a craft where you can make a storage box which looks like a book. But notice the title of the book! "History of Webkinz World"! I can't quite see what the top 2 words are, but I think it looks like "The unabridged" so it would be The Unabridged History of Webkinz World. "Unabridged" would mean a complete history, with nothing left out. Please note that I have no idea if all this really points to an upcoming feature. I'm just speculating. I know that Ganz just loves to drop little hints like this! So I can't help but wonder!

- Wowzer Weekends at the Webkinz Estore is here! The Gray Wolf is back! The Googles Charm and Poncho Charm codes are offered, and an amazing new item, the Grilltop Table is there for only $6.00! I couldn't resist but buy it. I know, I'm so weak! But to date, I believe this is my favorite item ever offered! Here is Snowboots checking it out! It is animated and that flame flickers and looks so cool - or should I say, hot!

- Pink Googles can now wear clothes, and wave! As many of you know, The Pink Googles was unable to wear clothes since she/he has come out. Here is my Pink Googles, Pebbles, all dressed up!
And here she is, in my "W-Shop," all excited about all the new clothes she can now actually wear!
Notice that she is waving with her little foot! When I first adopted my Pink Googles, she wasn't able to wave like that. So it seems all the problems with the Pink Googles have been resolved!

Fall Festival has come to Webkinz World on Asian Accounts! Thanks to my brand new Asian Account that a dear soul gave to me, I am able to report that the Fall Festival has come to Webkinz World! The leaves are falling amazingly rapidly! They began to fall within only 4 minutes of my being logged on! Sometimes, the leaves have fallen with no more than a minute interval between them. Some of the prizes from last years' Fall Festival have returned, and others are brand new. So far I have gotten several Pumpkin Soups, an Apple Cider, a Fall Sweater (not the same one as last year's), 2 Decorative Cornucopias, and a Fall Place Setting. Unlike in previous "item falling events" it does NOT matter if the Kinztime gets off. It used to be that if the Kinztime got behind (as occasionally happens), the leaves would not fall so you had to log off and back in to reset the time. Thankfully, this is no longer the case! My Kinztime got off but leaves still fell! I found the best activity for catching leaves to be Quizzy's Question Corner. Within only 20 minutes, I had earned over 500 kinzcash, and got to catch several leaves in the process!
- Arte has added a brand new rare theme: The Aztec theme! It looks amazing from the preview pictures I have seen. I can't wait to collect it all!
- New clothes are in
the W-Shop!

Don't Neglect
the Quick Draw!
There have been a few reports of people winning the Quick
Draw, but not receiving the prize that was listed in the Daily
Activities. Instead, they received something quite cheap.
I have a theory about this. I believe that it is possible that Ganz
is making the Quick Draw more worthy of our time, by offering secondary
prizes. Perhaps
only one person gets the grand prize, but a few others can get a
secondary, lesser prize. There is one other interesting thing
I have noticed lately, and that is that it seems my numbers
are closer to the winning number than they ever were before.
This could be purely coincidence of course. But a
long time ago, I began to pay attention to how many numbers I got
correct, and how many were in the correct spot. I used to be
lucky to get 1 number in the right spot. But lately, I've
been getting 2, 3, and occasionally even 4 numbers correct. I
feel that all this might indicate that Ganz has reprogrammed the Quick
Draw to make it easier to get at least a secondary prize. Please take the poll
a little farther down this page and vote on whether you have won the
Quick Draw. This will help me to get a better idea of the
situation with the Quick Draw. Until we figure it out for
sure, scratch those tickets! You just never know!
My Brand New Asian Account!
I absolutely love this new account. It is on Asian time (it's 14 hours ahead of the US Account). I tend to be a night owl, so this is just perfect for me. It has its rares at different times than the US Accounts, so you can get different rares. And I just sit there marvelling over the fact that I can play balloon darts or spin the Wheel of Yum at like 2:00 in the morning! Not only that, but I get to start from scratch decorating the house. As you all know, I LOVE decorating! So this is just awesome! There are 3 pets on this account: a frog, a lil tree frog, and a gecko. I call it my reptile account ;-). I already have the gecko's room finished, and I'm working on the other ones. I have a frog and a lil tree frog on my main account, but I did not have a gecko. So I can't help but give the gecko a lot of attention, since I didn't have one before. I also have the bathroom completed, and I'm even working on an Airport! I got some little model airplanes from Sheldon's Souvenir Shack (on vacation), so I decided to attempt an airport. I'm having so much fun!
Something marvelous has
happened to me! Somebody GAVE me their Webkinz account!
They had more than one account, and one was an Asian account.
They did not want this additional account any more and didn't
want to let it expire, so to make a long story short, they gave me the
account! This person has been one of the kindest people I have
ever come across! The account didn't have much kinzcash or
furniture, and they said they felt bad about this, and so they sent me
some absolutely amazing items from their other accounts. One was
even a superbed! I couldn't believe it! I should be the one
sending things to them! I mean, they GAVE me a whole account - I
certainly wouldn't complain about it not having much kinzcash or
furniture!

My New Policy Regarding Friends on my Kinzphone - Please Read if This Includes You!
Well, you can probably see by all that I've written that this has caused me a bit of stress. I believe the easiest way for me to deal with all this is to simply clear my friends' list. I do not want to pick and choose who to delete and who to keep. So I will delete everyone! That's all I know to do. I do hope that you will all understand.
I
am going to delete EVERYONE on my kinzphone, with the exception of
real-life friends. One reason is that my Kinzphone has gotten VERY
full and when I want to send something to one of my real-life friends,
it takes me forever to even find their name amidst all the other names.
Another reason is that so many people have been unbelievably kind and
sent me many very nice gifts. Of course, I appreciate this
tremendously, but I have to admit that it makes me feel bad! I often
feel obliged to try to send something in return, but I never know for
sure what the person might like or need. And I am having a problem
keeping up with it all. I just don't have enough items to send
something of equal value to each person who sends me something anymore.
And I often go on Webkinz when I really just don't feel very well, and
I have a hard time keeping track of who sent what. Then I feel bad
when I forget whether I have sent someone something or not. Another
very important reason for me to do this is because, while I am always
ecstatic to receive such awesome gifts, I actually have a lot more
Webkinz items than many other people in Webkinz World. I know that a
lot of you like my website and want to send me something to show your
appreciation. I think that is so nice! Yet, I would actually rather
you send the gift to someone who doesn't have a lot of things. Another
thing is that when we send gifts in Webkinz World, we are very limited
as to what message we can send with the gift. So I never know what the
giver really intends with a particular gift. Do they want me to use it
for a prize in an upcoming contest? Do they want for me to use it in
one of my own rooms? Do they want me to give it away to someone else
on my list who does not have much? Do they want a trade? I just never
know.

Fall Festival is Coming to
Webkinz World!
The above article is appearing in the Newz on Asian Accounts. Last year's Fall Festival was wonderful,
so don't miss it! Last year's items included the beautiful Potted Elm Tree, Fall Sweater, Wheat Sheaf, Fall Poster,
exclusive food items, and more! These items all have great trading value now and are highly sought after. Will some
of these items return this year? Well, with Webkinz, we just never know! But one thing I do know is that it will be
lots of fun and you won't want to miss it!
Chances are it will follow the same rules of the other events where we click on falling items. This means that
the items will not fall during Arcade games, and you might have to be logged on for about 15 minutes to a half hour
before the items begin to fall. [The items are actually falling much sooner after login than this! - 9/17/08]
Good activities for waiting on leaves would then include things like playing
a game in your room, such as Link'd, Dogbeard's Bathtub Battles, or working the Puzzles.

- The Floral Fox is now available at the Webkinz Estore! I assume it will be available on Wednesdays for a while.
- Please forgive me, once again, for being very behind in my email. I have been sick again. I have had had terrible stomach pains and wasn't able to eat solid food for quite some time. And I am having deep depression as well, so I appreciate your patience, and your prayers would help too!
- I
have been experimenting with making videos on YouTube. I will
(hopefully) one day get a video up of all my rooms. For now, if
you'd like to see one of my very first experiments in video-making, click here!
It is me singing Thumbelina, accompanied by beautiful images.
On my computer, I either have to turn the volume way up, or use
headphones to hear it.
- (Very) Early Christmas Present! I got a Whimsy Dragon! I
have wanted a Whimsy Dragon forever, but I assumed I would never be
able to have one, because the prices had gone up so high and I couldn't
ask my family to spend that much on one for a Christmas gift for me.
Then I heard the news that Ganz would be releasing a few more to
the retailers, and I thought I might have a chance! Mom told me
that if she did come across one at a decent price, she would get it for
me for Christmas. I found one selling on Ebay for a good price,
and I won the auction. It was only $14.00 plus $5.00 shipping and
handling. Not bad at all compared to what they were selling for
before! Of course, I just could not wait until Christmas to adopt
her! I named her Fluffy Puff, and here are some pictures!
Here she is, wearing a Wedding Veil!
And here she is, looking at her online version!
And here she is sitting in her special throne! She is wearing the virtual wedding veil!
A friend that I have met through this website totally surprised me by sending me a Dragon Superbed! I can't believe it! This person is just WAY too nice! What was so great about it is I wanted a Dragon bed for my Whimsy Dragon, but didn't have one to spare. I hadn't even said anything about it, and so what a shock when I opened a gift from my friend and there was the Dragon bed! I will be redecorating her room now with the Dragon Bed, and will get a picture up as soon as possible! Thank you, my friend (you know who you are), for all of your gifts and kindness!
