Webkinz World Trial Accounts Return

In yesterday's article, I mentioned that I would make a video explaining more about these trial accounts. And here it is! 

 I am so sorry about the quality.


Basic overview of trial accounts:

• They can send friend requests to full accounts. The two may then frolic together in the virtual sunshine. The trial account may also send Challenge items to the full account.
• They can purchase new rooms (I checked after the video was completed).
• They can visit Quizzy's Corner, but can't answer Signature Safari questions.
• They appear to unlock features just like a brand new, full account would. For instance, I spent about 1,000 KC at the W-Shop and unlocked the KinzStyle Outlet. A lot of the clothing options were still locked, though.
• Jumbleberry Fields was no longer an option when I logged in today.
•  The "Contact Us" page in the Kinzville Times is locked, therefore locking the ability to vote in polls, too.
• The list of games they can play are: Wheel of WOW, Polarberry Jam, Smoothie Moves, Cash Cow, Candy Bash, Tunneling Twigzy, Wacky Zingoz, Lunch Letters, and Stack 'Em Up Solitaire. They can't play locked games while they're the Game of the Day. 
• The Clubhouse and all three zones are usable; the Trading Hall is not.
• Nafaria will fly by. She actually flies by at an annoyingly high rate.
• The "New Account" Challenge is available to them.

Let me know about any more information on Trial accounts that you may have.

"Think Pink"
Guinevere (my Webkinz Dreamy sheep) has been jumping up and down all week. She keeps saying "Pink! Pink! Pink! It's Pink week!". She's right everyone in Webkinz world is wearing Pink! Today in this News Letter Guinevere will show you some cute outfits, and Tips, a few secrets. Also I was talking to Jasmine (a fan of Let's Talk Webkinz) and I would like to share some things we were talking about.

Tips:

#1 "When Buying pants for a pink outfit never buy pink pants".
                              #2 "When buying a hat always remember not to buy a big one". The hat can cover up your cute outfit, and who wants that?

Outfit Time:

This outfit is cute and pink!

Here is a better look at this pink outfit!

This week we have an outfit that is called "Rare Outfit" because all things in the outfit are rare or eStore.

Here is a "Rare Outfit"! The dress is from the eStore, the Crown is from the game "Spree!" and the glasses and shoes are eStore.

Secrets:
Guinevere has a few fashion secrets that she would like to share:

Secret #1 Guinevere never gets rid of any clothes, because she know that the latest fashion an change on a dime.

Secret #2 Guinevere's closet is in the dock; she believes that to have cute outfits she must be able to see all of her clothing.

Talking With Jasmine:

I was talking via email to Jasmine and I would like to share what we were talking about.
I had asked Jasmine if she liked the clothes in Webkinz World and she said they were Great, also she wishes that they could have a frilly prom-ish dress, and we both agreed that the eStore clothes cost too much. Jasmine has some ideas that Webkinz hasn't tried yet,  "I think that the clothes in Webkinz World are cute and sweet but, I wish there were more varieties of styles and maybe some more pants that aren't jeans." said Jasmine. She said that she liked the clothes shown in the Newsletter. She loves the outfit that Polly Jean Collie wears, and she wishes you could buy one like that. I had ask her to tell me about a dress that she wished that had in the outlet, and I would draw it. Here is the Jasmine Dress:

Poems and Short Stories

Being Lil'

by Jasmine

There once was a Lil' Kinz hippo named Bluebelle. Bluebelle wanted to be a big hippo, so she talked to her brother named Merlin who was a Googles wizard.
"Merlin, can you make me big?" she asked.
"Sorry Bluebelle, I haven't figured out how to make a growth potion yet," Merlin replied.
"That's okay," Bluebelle sighed and slinked off to her bedroom. She decided to take a nice relaxing bath in her Wallowing Tub. Bluebelle turned the knob and warm water flowed out through the faucet. She leaned back and relaxed. But she was too little and the water went over her head and she had to stand up in the tub for a whiff of air. Then she had an idea. She turned off the faucet and climbed out of her tub. 

Bluebelle rummaged through her closet looking for her swim gear. She pulled out a Sunshine Swimsuit and goggles, pulled them on, and climbed back into her bathtub. She found that her bathtub was so big, and she was so small, that she had enough room to swim around! She turned on the water again and let it pour out so that the whole tub was filled to capacity. When she was done swimming, she got out of the tub, took off her swim stuff, dried off, and pulled on a t-shirt and jeans. Harriet walked in,
"Bluebelle, can I borrow your-uh-oh, you need a fashion makeover!" 

Harriet was a Lil' Kinz too and a HUGE fashionista, "I need to bring you to the Kinzstyle Outlet. Now," Harriet grasped Bluebelle's arm and tugged her out the door. They arrived at the Outlet, but it was so stuffed with customers that they could hardly move, "Follow me," said Harriet, and she led Bluebelle through a curtained doorway into an empty room full of the same clothes in the rest of the store, just smaller, "There isn't a lot of Lil' Kinz so the Lil' room is usually empty," explained Harriet, "and since it is, we don't have to worry about getting trampled by all the bigger Kinz. Here's a cute dress," Harriet grabbed a pink frilly jumper from a rack, then she grabbed a few other accessories, "Try these on."

Bluebelle found a dressing room and walked in. When she was done dressing, she opened the door, stepped out, and did a little spin to show off her new outfit.
"Whadya' think?" she asked Harriet.
"You look gorgeous, Blue! We're definitely buying these," exclaimed Harriet. Then she led Bluebelle back to the counter where P. J. Collie stood. All of the other Webkinz were still looking for clothes, so there wasn't any line.
"We'll get these," said Harriet as she shoved Bluebelle in front of her to show P. J. their clothing.
"Okey Dokey, that'll be 415 kinzcash," replied P. J. after she'd tallied up the clothing prices.

"What?!" exclaimed Bluebelle, but Harriet just smiled and pulled out her wallet.
"Don't worry, Bluebelle. I get a coupon each week from the Lil' Kinz society and I've been saving them just for this reason," Harriet replied as she placed a few coupons on the counter, "What's the total now?"
"75 kinzcash," said P. J. as Harriet deposited some crisp bills into her hand.
"Thank you, Harriet! And Bluebelle, you look great," P. J. Collie smiled and waved as the two sisters walked out the door.
Bluebelle grinned and said to Harriet, "I guess being little isn't as bad as I thought."
Harriet grinned back, "Nope, it's great!"

Cooking with KC

Today, Carmen will share with you some things you can add to your foods to enhance their flavor.

Mustard is a fairly common condiment, right? A staple in sandwiches and potato salad, it can also be mixed in with a bowl of instant cheese grits to boost its flavor.

If you're brave in the culinary world, then try a dab of ranch dressing with your pasta and Alfredo sauce. (wouldn't recommend it with spaghetti sauce, though.)

Mixing ranch dressing with Queso dip creates an interesting result flavor-wise.

 Try throwing peas in with pasta before serving it.

Facts 

When the carpenter ant finds itself in a battle it cannot win, it gets as close to its opponent as it can and contracts all of its muscles with such force that it self destructs! It's super effective!

There is such thing as the sound of a planet orbiting. You may wonder, "but in space, nobody can hear you scream, so how does that work?" The sound is picked up through radio waves being emitted from the planet. Take a listen to Saturn, for instance:

I do warn you, it can sound pretty eerie if you've never heard it before. :3
