I've finally, finally, *finally* gotten the "Crystal Sea Glass Flooring" as a PotM gift, and now I'm dying to put it into a room. I know someone posted pictures of a room they did, centered around the flooring, but I can't find that entry.  This person was asking for suggestions as to how to design the room, and I think a couple other people had put up pictures to show rooms they'd done with the glass flooring.

I'd love it if someone could direct me toward that specific post, and any other posts that might have pictures of rooms with the flooring.  Also, if you have a room with the flooring in it and would like to share your ideas for decorating with it, I'd love to see them. I've wanted the flooring since it came out, but now that I have it I find I'm not sure exactly what I want to DO with it.  I'm just happy to *have* it. :)

Someone was just asking about ideas for a phoenix's room and for ideas for an 'Irish' phoenix room.  As it happens, I recently put together a room for my phoenix and a room for my 'Irish animals', although they're two separate rooms. I went to Ireland just after this past xmas, so my irish setter, goat, and sheep have been given names we came across while there. :) 

Also, I'm sort of excited about my new movie room, so I'm going to put that picture here, too. :)


Phoenix/Webkinz Cares Room (with Stravinsky the Phoenix)



Irish Room (with King Puck the Goat and Tipperary the Irish Setter)




Movie Room (Lobby-the actual 'Theatre' is in a different room :)



(Besides the goat and the irish setter, you can also see Rathbaun the Sheep, Hamill the Camel, and Flossy the Cotton Candy Bunny here as well.)

Just in case anyone-like me-didn't realize it, it's now 'Monday' in the Asia WW accounts...which means that the week-long Winterfest is now underway there. 

WebkinzInsider  members are reporting that the snowflakes seem to be coming through every eleven minutes.  That means that once you've logged in, there's a *chance* of seeing a snowflake every eleven minutes, though there's no guarantee to see one at each 11 minute interval.

I 'caught' one about ten minutes ago and got a Peppermint Hot Chocolate.  And...wow!  Just caught another this very instant and got a 'Potted Icicle Tree'. Yahoo!!  Remember that the US Winterfest begins tomorrow and it runs all week and into the weekend. Good luck!

I know not a lot of people are fans of the eStore and it's virtual 'stuff', but I thought I'd mention this here anyway.  The Webkinz Wednesday virtual pet today is a brand new one: the Minty Reindeer.  He's mint green, with red hooves and candy cane antlers. :) Very cute.   As with all the other virtual pets, he's $12.50.

...try clearing your cache and re-attempting to log in.  Lotsofjoy said she'd gotten back in, so I just tried and I'M IN. Maybe our problems for the night are over. But even if this is just a respite between WW going down again, go take advantage of it, if you can. :)

Okay, just put the 24th charm onto my tree and...NOTHING happened.  It doesn't say that along with the 8th and 16th charm prizes the 24th charm prize has been unlocked.  There's nothing new in my dock.  Just...nothing.

I've heard others complaining about this happening, and it seemed like they were getting nowhere in trying to resolve the problem.  So apparently now I'm just stuck with a 'finished' tree and nothing to show for it.

...but I'm so excited about this new room, I just had to share a picture. In the trading thread, Freckles71 and I made the perfect trade, and I ended up with the highly-coveted lighthouse exclusive.  So I put it in a room and started designing. 

Usually I'm not too thrilled with my rooms, but I'm really loving this one.  *Especially* since a friend found a *toucan* for me just last night and she's now 'residing' in this new 'seaside resort' room. :) Actually, since we all know Ganz's quirks re: room-naming, I've had to call it 'Light House Room'. Whatever.  I love it. :)



And that would be Bananas Foster sleeping in the chef's hat...Sampson in the other hammock...and Bridget flying past the volleyball net. :)

Since we've been talking about the new inspiration to play wacky zingoz, does anyone have any pointers, re: the game?  I've not played it much, and I have no strategy at all for hitting him any distance.  I'm just as likely to swing and miss and have him drop to the ground as I am to hit him to like 535 or something.  Neither of which is going to net me a 600 trophy.

So...any helpful HINTZ?  Aside from someone coming over here, watching me play, and shouting, "Swing!" when I should hit the button??? :)  

 Something was goofy with the post as I put it up before.  Trying again here and crossing my fingers.

What I have:

Note: As you can see from everything being jammed together in the room, space is at a premium.  I actually have multiples of many things seen in the room, including the items that have two or three copies already pictured.  Just ask and I'll let you know if I have a second/third copy of whatever you might be interested in. I can say for sure that I have three of the Lion Tapestries and multiples of a lot of the TC1 and TC2 pieces.

Just for clarification purposes, since it may be hard to tell from the picture:

...or just lucky...or not real attached to some of my items...

Because I've had a fun couple of hours trying out the new trading rooms. :)  At times it was difficult to get in, so I switched between color zones and hit the 'find me a room' button several dozen times, and managed to get into the different rooms. 

I put into my dock a bunch of things I'd had in my trading room-some things I had multiples of, some things I've been having trouble trading away, etc.  I set aside lots of my extra vehicles, and thought I'd maybe start a trade with that and see how the other person responded. 

Overall, I didn't get a whole lot of people offering food and coupons for my posing plant or Zingoz bubble blower.  I did have a lot of people that threw exclusives/PSIs/seasonal items etc. up immediately, which surprised me, but then they didn't seem to want to trade even for other exclusives/PSIs/whatever I offered up.  Whoever it was on this list that recently mentioned having 'fancy' desserts/foods ready to toss up to maybe some of the younger traders was right. :)  I had a couple traders who were offering 'biggish' items, but didn't seem to want any of the big stuff I offered back...but when I threw in the dessert that looks like the sailing ship and the other one that looks like a cloud with rain and lightening, the deal was MADE.  So...a little strange, but mostly I managed to get some very cool stuff. :)

One of the things I found frustrating was the fact that some people had stuff I would have been willing to trade for, but *every single* item I offered up-even when it was worth a lot more than what they were offering me-was turned down by them.  And there's no way to say "WHAT are you LOOKING FOR??" :)  Because obviously they were waiting for something *else* to come up, but by that time I'd been through virtually every item I'd set aside in my dock, except the food.  So those deals had to just be given up, after going around and around and finding no common ground.

I guess I'm seeing the new trading rooms as a place to just eye up what others are willing to offer, to see what might be out there, and to have some items in my dock that I'm willing to trade, perhaps unevenly, if something I really want comes up.  If I have three ultra-modern TVs and two red robot clocks that I haven't been able to move for weeks in the trading threads, then it's worth it to me to get RID of them in favor of a cool bed I've never seen, a xmas tree, some fun flooring, or a few potted icicle trees. :)  It's all virtual in the long run anyway, isn't it?  Might as well have some real fun with my fakey possessions. :)

Compared to some people's horror stories, I think my first try in the trading rooms went well.  Nothing was lost...no trades happened that I didn't want to happen...and none of the other traders I met with were too annoying. (Although the ones that began immediately with "I want exclusives" or "I want a super bed" were offed pretty quickly by me, except the one who was offering a super bed in exchange for a super bed, which I thought was fair.) :)  Plus I got rid of many items I was getting tired of storing, and I got some fun new stuff to play with.  And should I decide I don't like some of that stuff, I'll trade *it* at some point. :)

My philosophy of trading is basically "Let's make a trade that satisfies us both."  I have a lot of things that are either doubles or things I have no interest in putting in my rooms, so if they're of use to other people, I'd rather trade them than just sell them and have them go nowhere. 

I'm not going to list the 'values' of whatever's there in the room.  If you want to go by that and offer 'equal for equal', or something close, that's fine; if we can just agree to trade something I have for something you have, that's perfectly fine with me too. 

For me, personally, getting an absolutely 'fair trade' ('monetarily' speaking) doesn't concern me.  As an example, I'd be okay with receiving an item that's half the 'value' of whatever I'm trading away, because it gets something I don't even want out of my dock/rooms and it gets me something I'd rather have in there. 

I would never ask that all other traders share this philosophy when trading with me, but the whole 'value system' turns me off and I would welcome *anyone* interested in trading, whether you have something you feel is 'equal' to what you see in my room or not.  This is all about having fun and finding cool things for our pets, right? :)

I'm not new to LJ by any means, just new to this account. :)  I've been an active participant in the LJ community for more than five years, but decided it would be good to have a separate area to 'house' my latest <strike>obsession</strike> interest-Webkinz! 

So here I am-again!  Let the games begin! :)
