A Mysterious Island
Dear Nibbles, You will never guess what I just heard! We came across another ship while we were out sailing and Dogbeard anchored his ship nearby and took a dinghy across to meet with the other captain. When he came back he said that the captain told him that he is in search of a mythical island ruled by a magical creature with long ears and a cottony tail. He said that the island was the source of untold riches, but that the ruler was a kind being who loved to share his treasure with the world. But the captain told Dogbeard that the island is only accessible for a short time in the spring and that if we want a taste of its spoils, we will have to find it before the magical creature takes off on his worldwide trek in a couple of weeks. What could it mean? What do you think the island is? And what could the treasure be? The captain invited us to join him on his quest to discover this elusive land. Isn’t that exciting? I’ll write again when I know more! Love, Laurabeard
Tournament Arena Lobby Redesign
Hailey: Elwin, I think we’ve both been doing a pretty great job with these makeovers. Wouldn’t you agree? Elwin: Sure. Yes. Definitely. Hailey: You seem a bit…distracted. Could it be that today’s design has left you rattled? Elwin: No! No! My design was great. IS great. Hailey: Have you seen my design? Elwin: Yes. Let’s not talk about it. Let’s just show what we’ve done and let our fans decide whose is better. Hailey: I knew it! You DO think mine is better! Elwin: First, let’s see the original Tournament Arena lobby: Hailey: Wow. It’s very bright, don’t you think? And there’s so much stuff in there. If I was a competitor, this would NOT make me feel relaxed and ready for my game. And look at all the junk food they’re serving. Elwin: Er, yes. I didn’t mind it that much, actually. Lots of color, lots to look at. Anyway, here’s my design: Elwin: I tried to incorporate some blue – very restful color, you know. And I’ve added a pizza oven (the manager of the arena wanted another way … Read more

Hailey and Elwin make over the Arcade Cafeteria
Hey, readers! It’s Hailey. My brother, Elwin and I have been tasked with another cool project, redecorating the Arcade Cafeteria. The Cafeteria is a great place to hang out when you’re visiting the arcade with friends, but it’s kind of a mish mash of furniture. They asked us to come in and try to give it a more fun and unified look. Elwin and I each did a design so let us know which one you prefer. This is the original design. It’s okay, but I don’t really know whether it say ‘arcade’, you know? Also, there seem to be a lot of different styles of chairs and I’m not sure about those orange counters. They’re a bit glaring in this space. We want to create an area that is fun and welcoming where players can mingle while they enjoy their snacks. So this is Elwin’s design and I have to admit, it’s pretty awesome. He went with the Superhero wallpaper and the Superfan flooring. He added Concession Stand counters as well as a Professional Pizza Dispenser and Ice Cream Parlor Counter. Then he … Read more
Kinzville Academy Library Redesign
Hailey: Today’s room redesign was probably my favorite of all of them. I LOVE the library. Elwin: I do too. It’s such a great place to go! Hailey: This particular library was in the Kinzville Academy. That explains why it’s so…what’s the word, Elwin? Elwin: Juvenile. It was perfect for a kindergarten-aged kid…but what about the older students? They needed a much more grown up library. Those chairs were so tiny! Hailey: Agreed! Here’s what we came up with. Hailey’s Design: Hailey: Ah, serenity. I LOVE the quiet feel of this library. The white couches, the wicker chairs, the wood floors – so comfy, yet so mature. Both young and old students will enjoy this space. It’s perfect! Elwin’s Design: Elwin: And here’s my design! OK, so I decided to go more imaginative with mine. Check out the suits of armor! The golden fireplace! The floating lamps! It’s such a cozy, friendly, cool place. Can’t you … Read more
The Kinzville Academy Office Redesign
Hailey: Hailey and Elwin here! Well, thanks for all your feedback about our rooms yesterday. Elwin and I are very excited to see who will ultimately win our design-off! Elwin: Definitely. Now today’s redesign was a bit of fun for both of us. We redid the Kinzville Academy’s office. The secretaries were very happy to see us and they didn’t even make us bring a note from home when we arrived late. Hailey: Uh, Elwin? We’re not in school anymore. Elwin: I know. But every time I go into the office, I always get nervous. Hailey: You did spend a lot of time there when we were kids. Elwin: Moving on! Here’s what the office used to look like: Hailey: Honestly? I thought it was cute. Outdated, but cute. Ah, Elwin! I see you took your usual spot outside of Ms. Cowoline’s office. Elwin: That was the exact same couch I used to sit on when I was a little guy. Hailey: Which means it’s time to get rid of it! Here are our designs. Hailey’s Design: … Read more
The Employment Office Break Room Redesign
Hailey: Hey all! Hailey and Elwin here with the first of our redecorating challenge articles. Elwin: That’s right, Hailey. All week we’ll be putting up our latest projects to see whose room designs Webkinz Newz readers like better. Hailey: The first room we tackled was the Employment Office Break Room. Elwin: Can you say seventies shabby? That’s what I thought when I first saw it. Ugh. The room was just such a jumble of mismatched furniture. Hailey: Tabby told us that most of the furniture had come from secondhand stores, or from friends. She got it when she first opened the Employment Office, and she just hadn’t updated the room in years. Elwin: Enter the Designer Elephants! Hailey and each took a stab at creating the new and improved break room. Here’s what we came up with: Hailey’s Design: I decided to create a serene, restful space for the employees. We’ve got a plush couch with a big screen TV, a dining area where they can eat lunch, a reading area for relaxing, and … Read more

Elwin vs. Hailey
Hailey and I have been working a TON lately. We’ve been redoing lots of different places around Kinzville – and, unfortunately, we haven’t always agreed about which way to decorate a space. Although I love my sister, I definitely have a different sense of design. She tends to be very classic and simple, while I like to mix up crazier colors and patterns. Since we’re both SUPER competitive, we thought it would be fun to have a design contest. Each day for the next week, we’re going to redecorate a spot in Webkinz World. We’re going to show you the original, then both of our designs. We’d love it if you told us whose design you like better! At the end of the week, one of us is going to rule the design world! So Hailey, bring your best designs – it’s game on!
