A Surprise for Hailey!
You won’t believe what happened to me today! I was working in the studio and I was just about to close up for the day when the phone rang. It was some guy whose voice sounded kind of familiar but it was very deep and the line seemed very crackly. He asked if I had filled the role of the designer that I had advertised for earlier in the month. I explained that I had seen a few designers but that I hadn’t made any firm decisions yet. He asked if he could drop off his portfolio for me to look at because he was very interested in the position. When I told him that I was just leaving but that he could drop off his portfolio tomorrow morning, he said he was just around the corner and he’d really appreciate it if I could hold on for just five minutes. It was driving me crazy trying to figure out where I knew his voice from, so I said sure, because I was curious to see if I recognized this guy. Two minutes later there was a knock at the door and when I opened it you will never guess … Read more

Ella Interviews Andy McWoof
Hey everyone! Ella here with a familiar face…familiar to me, anyway! It’s my dad, Andy McWoof! He’s the editor of the Webkinz Newz, and I definitely wanted to include him in my month of interviews. Ella: Hi, Dad! Thanks for joining us! Andy McWoof: I’m glad to be here, dear. Everyone is really enjoying your month of interviews and I didn’t want to be left out of the fun! EM: Well, my first question is about how you managed to become the editor of the Webkinz Newz. I know the story, obviously, but none of our readers do. Care to fill them in? AM: Oh, you know I love to tell that story. It all started back when I was just a little pup in elementary school. I had a knack for writing and finding stories everywhere. In fact, when I was only seven, I started my own newspaper. I gave it out to my friends for free, but they were impressed. And so were my parents. They told me I had a bright future in writing or reporting. They were very encouraging. EM: When did you get your first real … Read more
Summertime Craft – Beanbag Toss
Molly is going to have to babysit Millie for a few weeks this summer, and she was trying to figure out some fun games to play with her. This is one of my favorites – beanbag toss! What you need: Large piece of Bristol Board, markers, scissors, felt, needle and thread, small sandwich bags, dried beans To make the beanbags, cut out two five-inch felt squares per bag. Sew around three sides of the square (leave one side open). Fill a sandwich bag halfway with dried beans. Seal the sandwich bag. Put the sandwich bag into your felt square. Sew up the last side. Now you’ve got a beanbag! To make the target, draw circles on the Bristol board, using a marker. You can make one big target, or several smaller ones worth different numbers of points. When you’re all ready, stand back and toss that beanbag. If you get it onto the target, keep track of how many points you scored. Whoever has the most points after five throws is the winner!
