Molly and Millie Move Out
       Okay, so far so good. Millie and I have just finished dragging our sleeping bags and pillows up to the treehouse. You know, there’s more space in here than I thought. With both of our beds set up there’s still a little room to move around. I’ve got a pile of books and some paper, and Millie even grabbed a small twig from the ground and she propped it up in the corner of the treehouse and decorated it with some tinsel and stuck a tin foil star on top. Millie is pretty happy – she’s got all her stuffed toys tucked into her sleeping bag right now – but she does keep asking me why we moved out again. I know she doesn’t really get it. Millie gets along really well with our cousins so she can’t figure out why I don’t want them all staying here this Christmas. But why would I want about a million little kids running around, drawing ugly pictures of me on my bedroom wall? Oh, Millie. Someday you’ll understand. Anyway, it’s really starting to shape up in – uh oh. I think that’s my mom calling … Read more

Roberta’s Handmade Holidays: Bear Puppet
                     Hey crafters! I’m feeling a lot better after talking to my friend Molly. I was asking her about what I could make for Millie (her little sister who happens to think I’m pretty awesome), and Molly thought it was really neat that I was making all my gifts this year. She said she wished she was as creative as I am! Talk about a boost to my crafty spirits! I feel much better. And what am I making for Millie? A bear puppet! (Millie is all about having an awesome imagination. She LOVES making up stories!).  What you need: brown felt, scissors, pink fabric paint, black fabric paint, craft glue, wooden craft stick, different colors of felt What you do: Cut a bear shape out of your brown felt. The bear has to be small enough to fit onto your wooden craft stick. Cut out a muzzle for your bear. Glue it in place. Draw on a black nose and black eyes with the black fabric paint. Let the paint (and glue) dry. Cut out clothes to fit your bear. … Read more
Fluffington’s Apology
         It is I, Fluffington. You know, I felt such a sense of peace the other day after I apologized to Hailey and Elwin. Not that I had really done anything WRONG of course, but I do realize that sometimes I should allow others to express their opinions as it seems to make them feel good about themselves, and I am all about giving to others. Give, give, give – sometimes I feel that’s all I do, readers. But it did get me thinking that perhaps I had been a bit hard on my old friend, Chef Gazpacho. I mean, he probably does know almost as much about fine dining as I do, what with him being a chef and all. So earlier today I stopped by Le Snout and told Chef Gazpacho that perhaps I had been a bit rash in questioning his choices and that if he would come back and cater my party I promised that I would keep my nose out of it. (After all, where was I going to find another caterer on such short notice at this time of year? Not that that was my only … Read more
A Surprising Apology
          Hey, it’s Hailey. We just had a crazy visit from Fluffington. We were sitting in our office making up our budget for next year. After Fluffington freaked out about our yard design and we left the project, we realized we couldn’t count on the new clients we were hoping to get from the deal. But just as we were finishing up there was a knock at the door and when Elwin opened it, there was Fluffington and our friend, Henrietta Hippo. I guess Fluffington and Henrietta are friends too because she told us that he had something to say to us. Fluffington seemed really nervous, but then he said that he realized that as we were mere commoners like most of the rest of Kinzville, then we probably had a better understanding of what they would like at a party. Um, can you say backhanded compliment? He said he wanted to apologize for freaking out on us and that as he had given us creative control he couldn’t expect us to decorate the house as he would have done it himself, especially as there is no way we could have … Read more
Molly Visits Roberta
          I went to visit my friend Roberta yesterday, and I have to say – I’m glad I did. Not only did I escape the insane clean-a-thon that’s happening at my house (in preparation for my relatives’ arrival), but I also managed to cheer Roberta up. When I arrived, Roberta was sitting in front of the TV, just looking really…well, kind of bored and angry. I’m not sure what emotion that is. But that’s definitely how she looked. Roberta told me that she had seen Cowabelle earlier, and when Cowabelle heard what Roberta was doing for Christmas (making all the gifts by hand), she told her that was a terrible idea, and that no one wants handmade gifts. I couldn’t believe Cowabelle! She was so mean to her best friend. I don’t think she realized how much she hurt Roberta’s feelings. I told Roberta that I’d be thrilled to get a gift from her, particularly one she made herself. Roberta was surprised. She said that after talking to Cowabelle, she figured everyone would dislike her homemade gifts. I assured her that we’d all love them. Roberta seemed much happier by the … Read more

Henrietta’s Visit with Fluffington
        Oh, dear. What a day! I had to pay a visit to my old friend, Fluffington, today and not just for pleasantries. Fluffington is having a bit of a stressful holiday season this year. He decided that he would throw a huge Christmas party at his mansion. Which would have been perfectly fine – he did exactly the right thing, and instead of trying to take on too much himself, he hired others to help out. For instance, he asked Hailey and Elwin to help with his holiday decorating and he hired Chef Gazpacho to prepare some special foods. It all seemed well in hand. The problem is – Fluffington can be a bit of a control freak and he has very particular ideas about how he likes things done. And his ideas can be little bit, how shall we say, grand? I swear, I don’t think anything less than solid gold decorations and 100KC an ounce caviar would have pleased him. Of course, the designers and chef that he hired had different ideas, like creating a fun atmosphere that would be welcoming and appealing to everyone, not just Fluffington and his … Read more
Roberta Rabbit: SO Annoyed!
       It seems sometimes you don’t really know who your friends are until you try to make them something for Christmas! I am extremely annoyed with Cowabelle right now. She was SO down on the fact that I’m making my gifts this year. What’s wrong with being crafty? Would she rather get something from the W Shop that ANYONE could buy? Well, actually, don’t answer that. I know the answer is yes. I just really wanted to make this year special, but I don’t feel very much like crafting today. Hopefully I’ll feel better tomorrow.
Cowabelle’s Letter to SantaKinz: No Stamps for You!
         I am SO mad right now! So, remember how my list to SantaKinz was super-mega-long? Well, my mom had a super-mega fit when she saw it. She said I was being WAAAY too greedy, and that SantaKinz wouldn’t look favorably on a list that long. I told her that we’d let SantaKinz be the judge of that, but she refused to let me send it. Little does she know, I’m going to pick up some stamps with my allowance, so ha! Also, I was telling Roberta all about the gifts I thought she could get me this year (I picked some less expensive ones because she’s short on KinzCash) and she said – get this – that she’s MAKING all the gifts herself! Can you believe it?! Who does that? It’s so easy to just pop by the W Shop or the Curio Shop and get something. I’ve already got HER gift, and I definitely did NOT make it myself. I just feel like store-bought gifts are more special than something you make yourself. ANYONE can make a gift. To get something from the store, you have to save up. I … Read more
