Persephone’s Winter Fashion Show – Day 1
Persephone’s Winter Fashion Show Day 1 Hey, readers! I am just planning my winter fashion show, but I have been so swamped that I could really use a little help and I was hoping you guys might step up to the plate. I’ve thrown together some fab winter ensembles, but I can’t decide which ones to feature in my show. Can I run a few by you and you pick which one of the three you prefer? Awesome! I thought we would start with some exterior fashions. Outdoor Fashions – Option #1 So this model is sporting the fun and multi-hued Checkered Fleece Jacket. I picked up the pink check in the coat with a cheerful Pink Beanie Cap. I thought the snowy white Hit the Slopes Boots were a bright option for footwear, and we kept up the wintery theme with some Snowy Face Stickers. And the Vogue Vampire Pants? An unexpected choice, no? Outdoor Fashions – Option #2 Our model is a study in scarlet. I just loved the vibrant red of the Born to Board Top and Pants. And I knew the Lumberjack Hat would make an eclectic … Read more
Ms. Cowoline’s Winter Fun Day
       Ms. Cowoline here with a very exciting announcement for my dear students! On January 11, we are going to take a break from learning and spend a day enjoying the winter weather with physical fitness! Yes, we’re having a snow fun day. So if you’re interested in sports – or just running around in the snow – you’re going to have a stellar time! I am interested to hear what kind of sports and activities you’d all like to do, so I’m going to put a suggestion box outside of my office. I can’t wait to read the things you come up with!
One Rough Resolution
        Sparky Fact here with a major complaint: school. Why am I back? Because I have to be, of course. I had such a good time on holiday, enjoying my days off. I played and slept and hung out with my friends. And then, today, I came back to school. And the craziness has already started! Our teacher, Miss Daisy, told us about three projects we have to do this month. THREE! That’s too many. One is too many. Ugh. I know some ‘Kinz really like school, and some are really good at school…but I don’t. And I’m not. I know my resolution was to do better, but I’m already counting down the days until summer.
One Lovely Living Room
 Elwin: Hey everyone! It’s your favorite decorating team here – Elwin and Hailey! We’re super-excited to tell you about the business our company has been getting ever since we redecorated Fluffington’s house for the holidays! Ms. Birdy was the first to call us, and she invited us over to check out the problem.  The problem, by the way, wasn’t at her house. It was at Dr. Quack’s. When Hailey and I got there, we thought maybe the foyer needed redoing. Ms. Birdy, however, said that Dr. Quack just had it re-painted. She took us into his living room and we immediately noticed it was…what’s a polite way to say it, Hailey? Hailey: Uh. Dated. Let’s say dated. As in, out-of-date. As in, from the last century. Or possibly the one before that. Well, let’s just let the picture do the talking, shall we?          Elwin: There are so many things going wrong here, I don’t know where to start. Hailey: The wallpaper. It’s the worst. Elwin: No, I think it’s the arrangement of furniture. The mismatched, random arrangement. Have you ever seen anything like that before, Hailey? I mean, wow. It’s just…it’s … Read more
Holiday Husky Contest Winners
Congratulations to Rachel, Lisa, Megan, Martha and Michaela! They’ve each been sent a Secret Code for an eStore exclusive Holiday Husky. We wanted to know why winter was your favorite season — read the winning entries below. Winter is my favorite season because it is always so cheery and everyone is always happy. The snow brings an even better spirit. You can sled, and ice skate, and play hockey. You can build snowmen and make snow angels. Also winter means CHRISTMAS! Christmas brings family and friends together; it is just a happy mood, all around. Putting up the Christmas tree is fun, too! Winter is awesome too because there are all sorts of good, yummy foods. In our backyard there is a hill, so I can sled! Then when I come in my mom makes me some warm, sweet, hot chocolate. That’s why I LOVE the season winter! – Rachel Wintertime is a spectacular season. The air is crisp, cool, and clear. The snow is like a blanket of powdered sugar resting upon the curving hilltops. Smells of cinnamon and sugar fill the air, along with the scents of my favorite snickerdoodle cookies. Yum! Everything in winter is amazing. Christmas … Read more

Millie Pig: Hurricane on Wheels
       Sometimes I think Salley, Roberta, Cowabelle, Sparky and Alex are the luckiest kids around. Why? Because they don’t have siblings! Nibbles is lucky because she has an older sister, and Stoogles likes all of his brothers and sisters, so I guess he’s lucky too. Or maybe I’m just UN-lucky. Because of Millie. The hurricane on wheels. See, Santakinz thought it would be a great idea to get Millie roller skates. I wish I had been awake when the jolly old elf was dropping off gifts, because I would’ve begged him to take the skates back to the North Pole with him. Since it’s snowy outside, Millie has been skating around the house. She’s not really supposed to, but mom is just happy that she’s enjoying her present – and she said that as long as she stays in the basement, she shouldn’t be able to do too much damage. Well. Tell that to my ruined art project. I’ve been working on my art project for three weeks. It was a little model of my house and yard. I thought it was really, really cute. I was just about done (I just had to … Read more
Resolutions from the ‘Kinz
         It’s January 1 and you know what that means…resolution time! I decided to put on my reporter’s hat and visit my friends to find out what they hope to accomplish this year!    Molly: As much as it pains me to say this, I’m going to try to be nicer to Millie this year. She can be so difficult sometimes, and that drives me CRAZY. But yelling at her doesn’t work, so maybe being nice to her will? I don’t know. I’m willing to try anything at this point.  Roberta:  Well, everyone saw my little fashion catastrophe of 2011, so I’m hoping to put that behind me and sashay my way through 2012 looking like a fashionista. Or at least a little more put together. I’ve got some ideas, and I’ve been talking to PJ. Hopefully this year’s fashions are memorable for a good reason!  Sparky: Man, Uncle Arte and I were talking about resolutions the other day. I wanted mine to be ‘improve my video gaming skills’, but he said those are good enough already. Uncle Arte STRONGLY suggested that I focus my energy on bringing … Read more
