Behind the Scenes: Fluffington’s Mansion
With Christmas fast approaching, we asked Webkinz World’s richest inhabitant, Fluffington St. Bernard, if we might take some pictures of his beautifully decorated mansion. Fluffington initially declined, but then had a characteristic change of heart and graciously let us in. We are pleased to present a behind-the-scenes look at Fluffington St. Bernard’s family room, dining room and splendid backyard. Family Room: Fluffington said that his favorite ski lodge in Northern Webkinz World was the inspiration for this wintry family room. “I simply LOVE the couch arrangement,” Fluffington said, when asked what part of the room was his favorite. “I like sitting there with my friends and chatting about skiing. And, you know, other things. But mostly skiing. I also adore those ‘Tis the Season windows. They’re subtle, but beautiful.” We asked Fluffington where he got the stunning Ski Lodge Fireplace, the centerpiece of this room. Fluffington assures us that it’s available at the eStore, along with the gorgeous Grill Top Table, tasty Veggies and Dip and Cheese Platters, ‘Tis the Season windows, and Webkinz Icepresso Machine. Dining Room: Christmas is Fluffington’s favorite holiday. He invites everyone in Kinzville to join him for a delicious feast. Of course, Fluffington ALWAYS sits … Read more

We wanted to hear about the weirdest Thanksgiving dinner, ever. Read the winning entries below. Come along; I wont bite! Let me tell you the story of my weirdest Thanksgiving dinner. In fact, I think it was last year. Once upon a time, all of Kinzville was preparing for our annual Thanksgiving feast. But, from the start everything was wrong. Ms.Birdy was late and was in charge of the turkey. Everyone was mean to each other. It was crazy! Suddenly, Alyssa showed up looking beat. Alyssa told us that Nafaria took the Thanksgiving leaf that holds balance to Thanksgiving. I decided to get the leaf. I went into the Magical Forest and saw two paths one that was gloomy and one that was cheery. I went down the gloomy path because Nafaria likes gloomy things. After some time walking, there was the leaf! I grabed the leaf and ran home and gave the leaf to Alyssa. Immediately, Alyssa perked up. No one was fighting! There was Ms. .Birdy with the turkey! Everything … Read more
