A couple of trophies and some Thoughts from the Treetop: May 2, 2017

Sometimes the real world keeps me busy and I get behind on my Webkinz blogging. 🙂  I’m having an easy day today, just enjoying the beautiful weather and watching the birds at the feeders on my back deck.

I’ve got some fun news and some random thoughts to share, so I figured I’d do a Thoughts from the Treetop post and just collect it all in one place.

First I want to share my exciting news (well, it’s exciting to me, anyway) – I finally got a Pet Party Parade trophy! 🙂 I got the trophy a few days ago on my TreeHuggerJess account, and it’s really cute.

When you complete all 30 levels of the game, you’ll see this message:

Then because it was my first time winning the whole game and earning a trophy, I got this message:

Last, here’s a look at the trophy in my Trophy Room:

Have you won the Pet Party Parade trophy yet? How many levels have you been able to beat so far? Do you have any tips for winning Pet Party Parade?

It’s the beginning of a new month, and that means a new Deluxe Monthly Challenge. In order to meet this month’s challenge, you’ve got to earn 150 kinzcash playing Color Storm.

I’ve actually got some tips for playing Color Storm. To read the tips, click here for the blog post I wrote during the Color Storm Trophy Challenge.

Speaking of trophies, I finally won the Candy Bash 2 trophy – and I won it on both of my accounts!

The Candy Bash 2 trophy looks like a chili pepper:

Here it is in my trophy room:

(And there’s my Grumpy Cat giving us a photo bomb!)

The Candy Bash 2 trophy is actually pretty easy to win once you know the secret/trick to unlocking it. The trophy is awarded randomly, BUT the only way you can have a chance of winning the trophy is by first getting “4 in a row” while you’re collecting the falling candy.

That means “catching” four of the same type of candies/sweets in a row, like this:

Once you’ve collected four in a row, keep playing and wait for the cat (named Gato Loco) to float by across the top of the screen. If Gato Loco is holding a trophy, hit him with a bean – the trophy will fall, and if you catch the trophy before it hits the ground, then congrats! You now have the Candy Bash 2 Trophy! When you catch the trophy, you’ll hear Poncho say “Arrrrrribe!”

The random trophy counter will reset after each appearance by Gato Loco. So if you see the cat but don’t get the trophy, you need to do another four in a row in order to have another chance at the trophy.

Have you won the Candy Bash 2 Trophy yet?

I’ve adopted a couple of pets recently. One of them was the Baby Bunny. The Baby Bunny was a special pet in the month of April because Baby Bunny owners got a extra activity each day. (Like the Reindeer Games in December and the Lovely Fox bonus activities in February.)

I named my Baby Bunny “Gidget,” and I think she’s a cutie:

Here’s Gidget wearing the Farmer’s Wife dress you can sometimes find at the Ganz eStore. (The clothing selection changes frequently.)

If you want your own Baby Bunny, the plush is still available at the Ganz eStore.

The Flower Collection Event just kicked off – if you want some tips on collection event success, click here for a blot post with advice on how to collect flowers quickly.

I’ll wrap up my Thoughts from the Treetop with a picture of the Super Token I recently won – this Super Token was worth three wish tokens!

Have you ever had a Super Token? What did you win? (Deluxe Members get to spin the Wheel of Wishes every day!)

Well, I guess that’s all for now. Thanks for reading and for visiting my blog. I hope you have a wonderful day and a fantastic week!

 

New Wish Factory Prizes: Letters F and G

I’m back with another look into the different type of prizes (not exclusives!) that Ganz added to the Wish Factory a while back. I’m going in alphabetical order, so in case you missed it, here are the links to my earlier posts:

Letter B

Letter C

Today we’re going to start with Letter F.

Letter F takes us to the Flowing Ribbons Four Post Bed.

Like several of the new prizes in the Wish Factory, the Flowing Ribbons Four Post Bed (wow – that’s a mouthful!) was originally a prize from the Mazin’ Hamsters section of Webkinz World. When the Mazin’ Hamsters area was retired, Ganz hinted that some of the prizes would pop back up in Webkinz World, and the Flowing Ribbons Bed is one of them.

I think the Flowing Ribbons Bed is really pretty, and I love the blue and pink color combination. If you ever checked out the Mazin’ Hamster prizes in the past, then you know that this bed is quite a bit different from the other Mazin’ Hamster room items.

Here’s a look at what most of the Mazin’ Hamster items look like:

The Flowing Ribbons Four Post Bed costs a whopping 300 tokens! Wow! I wish I had bought more of those with my Mazin’ coins because these beds are really valuable!

Next up – Letter G.

First is the Garden Mosaic, which is actually the only one of the new prizes I don’t yet have. (It’s what I wish for when one of my pets asks to make a “wish of the day.”)

Even though I don’t have the Garden Mosaic, I DO have the Lovely Garden Mosaic, which is the virtually the same item as the Garden Mosaic; it’s just done in different colors:

The Garden Mosaic costs 100 tokens.

Second, we have the Garden Patio Tile:

The Garden Patio Tile was a prize during the 2015 flower collection event. In the picture above you can see some of the other prizes that were awarded during that same event.

One really cool thing about the Garden Patio Tile is that if you collect four of them, you can cover an entire yard and/or floor – here’s a look at what I mean:

The Garden Patio Tile costs 70 tokens, so you’ll have to do quite a bit of saving if you want four of them!

Next up is the Giant Rafflesia Plant for 70 tokens:

The Giant Rafflesia Plant  is only for decoration. It’s not a chair like you might think at first. Originally the Giant Rafflesia Plant was a prize you could earn by playing Webkinz Friends, which was a Facebook game that involved building and growing your own Webkinz town.

Here’s a different view of the Giant Rafflesia Plant:

Last up for the Letter G is the Green Oak Leaf Chair for 60 tokens:

The Green Oak Leaf Chair was a prize that could be won during the 2013 acorn collection event, which is also where the Blue Fall Season Window came from.

The Green Oak Leaf Chair is a green leaf attached to a big acorn:

Just as you would expect from the name, your pet can sit in this item:

That’s all for letter F and G – next time we’ll skip all the way to letters M and O!
