Lil’ Purple Spring Kitten: A Cutie Named Jellybean

In case you couldn’t guess from my website’s logo, I am a huge animal lover. Cats are quite possibly my favorite animal and have been since I was a little girl. So, when I saw the Lil’ Spring Kittens in the Ganz eStore, I knew I wanted to adopt one! 🙂

Purple and pink are my favorite colors, but I already have several pink Webkinz pets, so I decided to adopt a purple kitten, and I named her Jellybean.

As I’m sure you noticed from the name, these kittens are Lil Kinz, which means they are about half the size of a regular Webkinz pet:

A Lil’ Kinz will always appear smaller than the other Webkinz, including in the Clubhouse or if you win high score of the day in the Arcade:

Even though they’re smaller in size, these Lil’ Kinz can do everything that other Webkinz can do and come with all of the same types of prizes.

I think I’ve mentioned in the past that I really enjoy the Trading Room. (Be on the lookout for a blog post on Trading Room tips!) For me, the best part of the Trading Room is getting “Pet Specific Items,” often referred to as a PSI for short.

A PSI is the special item that comes with a Webkinz when it is adopted. The PSI will relate to the specific pet in some way, such as in its design, color or function.

For example, the Peace n’ Love Puppy has the Chillaxin’ Couch:

And the Blue Avenue Pomeranian has the Blue Avenue Day Bed:

You can’t buy a PSI in the WShop or even at the eStore. The only way to get a specific PSI is to adopt that pet or try to find one in the Trading Room.

The reason I brought up pet specific items is because the Lil’ Purple Spring Kitten comes with an awesome PSI – it’s called the Purple Spring Egg Cottage, and it looks like a little house made from an Easter egg, complete with a front door and flowers in the window box:

Each Lil’ Spring Kitten comes with an Egg Cottage. The color of the Egg Cottage you get is the same color as the kitten!

The Purple Spring Egg Cottage is an animated item. Your pet can go inside it, and then the windows light up and the chimney smokes:

I’ve been putting together an Easter Village room with a wide variety of items – prizes from past Spring Celebrations, White Chocolate Egg prizes, pet specific items, etc. It’s still a work in progress, but I love the way the Purple Spring Egg Cottage looks in my Easter Village:

And just because she’s so cute, here’s a look at Jellybean getting a workout in my “Filling Hearts” room:

Jumping on the trampoline:

Swimming in the pool:

Running on the treadmill:

There is a whole collection of Lil’ Spring Kinz available at the Ganz eStore. Which Lil’ Spring Kinz is your favorite? The calf or goat? Or how about the corgi? Let me know in the comments!

(And be on the lookout for a Lil’ Blue Springtime Chick giveaway very soon!!!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adopting a Webkinz Curly Lion

The Curly Lion is the August Pet of the Month, and I was lucky to find one at Five Below a few months ago. I’d been saving the Curly Lion, and I was so excited when it was announced that the Curly Lion would be the Pet of the Month for August.

I love the Curly Lion because it’s so unique. The Curly Lion gets  its name from the curly ribbons that make up its mane and tail.

The curls are so fun and bouncy:

The Curly Lion has a long tail made of orange, yellow and brown ribbon:

One detail I really love about the Curly Lion are its eyebrows – they give its face so much personality and expression:

My Curly Lion is a boy, and I decided to name him “Steelo”:

You can see from the picture that the Curly Lion looks just as cute in Webkinz World as it does in real life. I think his curls are so adorable!

I really like the Curly Lion’s “Pet Specific Item. It’s called the “Majestic Wardrobe,” and it’s even decorated with curls!

If you click on the Majestic Wardrobe, you’ll see that it’s also a storage container for clothes:

Because the Curly Lion is August’s Pet of the Month, Steelo came with a special Pet of the Month gift box that included a Wish Token and 5 bonus Spree rolls.

But the best part of adopting a Pet of the Month is choosing your special Pet of the Month bonus gift!

I have quite a few of the Pet of the Month bonus gifts from adopting different pets and from the Trading Room. This time I decided to select the “Dex Dangerous Telescope.”

The Dex Dangerous Telescope is interactive. When you click on it, you get to look through the telescope at the stars….and a few surprises may even pop up if you watch for long enough!

After I chose my Pet of the Month bonus gift, I took Steelo to my “Filling Hearts Room” for some exercise. I recently revamped my Filling Hearts Room on my GABirdGirl account. As you can see, I used several items from the new “Ohh La La” theme available in the Ganz eStore.

Steelo went for a swim in the Stone Tile Swimming Pool:

Jumped on a trampoline:

Ran on a treadmill:

And even took a quick nap in the Ohh La La Bed:

After I filled up my Curly Lion’s heart, I decided to try a few outfits on him.

Here’s the park ranger outfit you might win with the 2017 Spring Mystery Clothing Bags:

Then onto the Suave Turtleneck, which was this month’s gift for Deluxe Members:

Last but not least, here’s Steelo as an Arabian Prince. I think I like this outfit the best:

If you want to adopt your own Curly Lion, head over to the Ganz eStore. You can pick up the virtual Curly Lion for 8,000 eStore points. (Purchase eStore points at the Ganz eStore.)

Or, if you want the plush, it’s available for $12.99!

So that’s my look at adopting a Curly Lion. 🙂 What do you think about the Curly Lion? Let me know in the comments!

 

Adopting a Webkinz Summer Beaver

July is a great month to adopt a Summer Beaver in Webkinz World!

If you have a Summer Beaver, you’ll get to enjoy bonus activities each day throughout July – like the Reindeer Games in December and the Lovely Fox bonus activities in February:

I adopted my Summer Beaver this afternoon.

I purchased mine through the Ganz eStore, but they’re also available on Amazon. (If you have Amazon Prime you’ll get free 2 day delivery!).

I named my Summer Beaver “Sunshine.”

There’s lots about the Summer Beaver that I love. For starters, the colors are really pretty, mostly pink but with some mottling of purple and gold as well:

I also like the waffle tail:

And the Summer Beaver has a super cute Pet Specific Item, called the Warm River Spa:

After I adopted Sunshine, I wanted to see how she would look playing in Webkinz World. First up was a dip in the pool:

Then some bouncing on the Fun Floor Trampoline:

Last was a nice jog on the treadmill:

Of course, after all that playing, Sunshine was tired and needed a little nap:

I’m still trying to find the perfect outfit for Sunshine. I do like the way she looks in this Flower Petal Wig (an eStore item that matched the April 2016 Deluxe monthly gift):

What do you think of the Summer Beaver? Are you planning to adopt one this month?

Adopting a Lovely Fox

Hello Webkinz friends! I’ve been gone for a few days taking care of my real world job, but I’m back now, and I’ve got a fun adoption video for you – a Lovely Fox!

The Lovely Fox is special this month because Lovely Fox owners get special activities every day during the month of February. It’s similar to the bonus activities that reindeer owners got during December’s Reindeer Games.

I named my Lovely Fox “Kiwi,” just because I think it’s a cute and fun name.

This video will give you a closer look at the Lovely Fox – both the plush and the virtual version.

Do you want a Lovely Fox? You can find one in the Ganz eStore or buy yours on Amazon.

Don’t forget about another “lovely” pet – the Lovely Love Kitten, which is February’s Pet of the Month. You can find the Lovely Love Kitten in the Ganz eStore or on Amazon.

 

Autumn Adventure: Black Panther Room Design Contest

I have some exciting news to share! I was one of five winners selected in this month’s Webkinz Newz room design contest.

We were challenged to create a room where the Black Panther (October’s Pet of the Month) could go on an awesome autumn adventure. I designed an outdoor room called the “Golden Apple Orchard.”

As one of the five winners, I recieved a code for a virtual Black Panther. I adopted my Black Panther this morning, and I named her Muerta.

The Black Chic Couch is the Black Panther’s “pet specific item,” also known as the “PSI.”

Here’s Muerta in the Pink Petal Gown that’s currently available at the Ganz eStore. I think it’s so pretty! You can also buy the Sparkling Tiara at the Ganz eStore.

Do you have a Webkinz Black Panther? Are you going to adopt one? Let me know in the comments!

Back to School Fashion Blitz and my Blue Avenue Pomeranian

By now you probably know how much I love to collect clothes for my Webkinz pets. So naturally I was really excited when I saw that the eStore is doing a Back to School clothing promo. The special prices on these clothing items lasts until September 25th.

I had a hard time trying to decide which clothing items I wanted most. Finally I decided to go with some super cute items that are all related to school.

Here’s the outfit I put together. The model is my Blue Avenue Pomeranian (on sale for National Dog Day in the Odd Holidays section!):

The outfit is kind of silly, but I still love it! Posh Posh (my pomeranian) is wearing the Numbers & Figures Blazer, the Ruler Pattern Skirt, Eraser Shoes and the Book Stack Hat.

Here’s what all the different items look like separately:

Speaking of Posh Posh, I just adore my Blue Avenue Pomeranian.

I’ve had my eye on it for a while, and I bought it when it was on sale for National Dog Day. I also really want to adopt a Blue Avenue Kitten. I got the Blue Avenue wallpaper and flooring, and I’m starting to work on a glamorous “posh” room for Posh Posh to match her Pet Specific Item, this beautiful day lounger:

Here’s what I have so far:
