Cowabelle’s Christmas List
       Whew! What a LONG day of walking around. I’m going to need at least three cookies and two glasses of milk to recover! What have I been up to? Glad you asked! I went back to the W Shop today and found a few – OK, a LOT – more things for my list. It’s getting hard to remember everything I want to add to my list between the time I walk from the W Shop back to my house! My friends haven’t started their lists yet – which is too bad, because the sooner you write it, the sooner you can mail it. The sooner you mail it, the sooner SantaKinz gets it. And the sooner THAT happens, the sooner you get presents, presents, PRESENTS!  I LOVE Christmas and I cannot wait until Christmas morning!
Gotta Have Friends!
       Our technical gurus have been making some terrific updates to the Friends List in Webkinz World – and they’ve added a thing or two to make it easier to find friends and receive messages. Be sure to visit Webkinz World on Wednesday, December 7 and see all of the great new features!
It Snowed!
   Last night, you should’ve seen the storm! It must have snowed six inches! Stoogles called me and asked if I wanted to go sledding with him today. Of course I do! Now, I do have a math test tomorrow, but I’m pretty sure I know the material. I looked it over for about half an hour yesterday, so that ought to do it. There’s something with algebra…letters and numbers and stuff like that. How hard can it be? I got a C on my last math test, so I’m sure I can get at least that on this one. I know Alex has been studying for the past three days – but how much fun is that? NONE AT ALL. So I’m going to go and have me a little break. Then MAYBE I’ll look at the book when I get home tonight. But for now – SLEDDING!
Roberta’s Homemade Holidays: Tote Bag
OK, so the bookmark is almost done (just a few more finishing touches) and I thought of another gift to make – this one is going to be for my cousin Emmy. Emmy is an artist, so she’s always lugging around sketchbooks and pencils and stuff. I’ve decided to make her a tote bag. Here’s how!  What you need: Canvas tote bag, needle, thread, felt or fabric scraps, pencil, scissors What you do: Draw a design on the bag. You can make it as complicated or as simple as you like. Arrange your fabric scraps in the design; cut them as needed. Sew the fabric scraps onto the bag. If you like, add the recipient’s name in permanent marker. Â
Hailey and Elwin Decorate Fluffington’s Games Room!
Hey, readers! Hailey here! So Elwin and I had a lot of fun decorating Fluffington’s living room but I’m not sure how much Fluffington liked it. I mean, he SEEMED to like it, but he was a little grumpy when he first came in. He kept asking where his gold furniture was. And purple – he kept asking us didn’t we know that purple was the color of royalty. Um, can you say ‘delusional’? Anyway… now we’re onto the Games Room. Since there didn’t seem to be any gold or purple, we thought we might be able to have a little more fun with this one.        Fluffington’s games room is pretty cool. There is just about every game you can imagine and plenty of space to play. He’s also got some yummy snack areas set up. There’s even a sandwich maker. We want to maintain all of the fun and leave lots of space for games, while still capturing the holiday spirit. I sure hope Fluffington likes the results of this one!             Ho! Ho! Ho! This room is still packed with … Read more
Salley’s Winter Blues
       Hey everyone,Today is SUCH a bad day. A horrible day, even. Today, my BFF (Stoogles) and I had a HUGE fight. A gigantic fight. Maybe the biggest fight in the history of Kinzville. What did we fight about, you ask? Christmas. Or, rather, where I’ll be spending Christmas. This year, my dad asked if I could come and visit him in West Kinzville. I usually see my dad one weekend a month (he travels a lot for his job), but he’ll be around for Christmas this year and I haven’t had Christmas with him for a really long time. My mom is going to go and stay at my grandma’s house, so she said it was fine if I wanted to go to my dad’s. I decided that it would be pretty fun to see him, and to see the rest of that side of my family. I told Stoogles the exciting news and he was SO mad. Not even regular mad. SUPER mad. When I asked why, he said that I was wrecking his Christmas! Can you believe that? I’m leaving on December 20, and apparently that’s before everyone in the ‘Kinz … Read more
Roberta’s Homemade Holidays: Bookmark
            I thought of a really neat idea for my grandpa today – a homemade bookmark! My poppa loves to read, so this is perfect for him. Want to make one for the bookworm on your list?  What you need:  Cardstock in two colors, embroidery thread in two colors, one-hole punch, ruler, scissors, craft glue  What you do: Cut out a rectangle that’s 8 inches long and 1.5 inches wide. Cut out another rectangle that’s 9 inches long and 2 inches wide. Mount the smaller rectangle on the larger one. When the glue is dry, punch a hole at the top of the rectangle. Take your embroidery thread and cut six pieces; three of each color. Each piece should be four inches long. Put your embroidery threads through the hole and tie a knot at the bottom of the threads. Decorate your bookmark to suit the recipient of the gift. Â
Chef Gazpacho’s Easy Homemade Chocolate Fluffles
Here’s a recipe for one of the delicious dishes that I will be making for Fluffington’s guests on Christmas day. These simple truffles – or as I like to call them ‘Fluffles’ – are much easier to make than the real thing, but just as delicious! What you need: -         1 cup chocolate chips -         4 tablespoons butter -         4 tablespoons icing sugar -         1/2 cup plain cake crumbs -         Garnishes: chopped nuts, grated coconut, icing sugar, cocoa powder, chocolate vermicelli -         An adult assistant to help you with this recipe What you do: Have your adult assistant melt butter and chocolate chips slowly over a double boiler. Mix well and transfer to a bowl. Using a sieve, sift icing sugar into bowl. Add cake crumbs and mix well. While you allow your mixture to cool, spread your garnishes out on separate plates. When the chocolate mix has cooled, roll it into small balls about a teaspoonful. Trying not to handle them too much (they will start to melt!) roll each ball in one of the garnishes. I just know Fluffington and his guests are … Read more
The Making of the Reindeer Pet of the Month Video
Hi there! I’m the Reindeer, December’s Pet of the Month. When I was approached about storyboarding my Pet of the Month video, I knew I wanted to make a song all about my favorite season. I’ll bet you can probably guess which season that is. At first I wasn’t sure what to do my video on. But then I went and asked my mom what she thought. I get so wrapped up in winter that she actually suggested that I should make a video about how when I comes to winter I can’t think of anything else, even school. At first I asked her what she was talking about, and then she pointed out that every time I get a pencil and eraser, I have to turn them into a hockey stick and puck. I realized that she was right so I went and asked Ms. Cowoline if we could actually film my video in the school. I thought it would be pretty funny to have me dreaming about winter instead of getting my work done. Ms. Cowoline … Read more
Can’t Wait Until Christmas!
        Hey everyone, Sparky here. Want to know something? I’m SO sick and tired of being at school! Seriously! I cannot wait until it’s finally time to go on vacation. It feels like summer was a million years ago, and Thanksgiving was half a million years ago. I just want to sleep in, play outside, and hang out with my friends. I’m so tired of tests and reports and everything like that. Christmas is such a great time of year for me – my parents and I visit my grandparents on Christmas day, I help Uncle Arte in the Curio Shop, and the ‘Kinz celebrate Christmas with an awesome party. But I’m here, stuck in geography class, just staring at the clock and WISHING it was time to go home. I don’t know how I’m going to last.Â
