Winter in Webkinz sounds so much this year. I love the Super Wheel when it isn’t a holiday.

Woops, that should have said Winter in Webkinz sounds so exciting this year. Grr to my phone for adding words to my sentences that I don’t need and taking out words I do need. I love that new dress.

I love this theme, I have never seen it.
I can’t wait.
Finish up??? LOL
too much to mention
Taking hubby to pain dr. see you all later.
So glad WW is keeping things exciting, Webkinz Friends is a big disappointment, nothing new and no new challenges.

So I guess we can get a red glitter dress everyday?
Has anyone else tried to get more than one?
11 zingyginger said,
December 28, 2013 @ 12:10 am
re 8
hippo theater seems to be a rite of passage
(unless you deliberately hold off unlocking the challenge that requires the mirrors)
on the first account it took two months to get past it
12 zingyginger said,
December 28, 2013 @ 12:11 am
two glitter dresses per day if you use the back arrow that moms mentioned (thanks for that reminder, momsk!)

love winterfest and adore the upcoming items
but i feel i need a breather after days of having to get the coal,the candy canes and ms birdy’s gifts in addition to wkn and parent club floaties

g’morning
feel like a slug, so tired
zingy, more like weeks or possibly months of too many ‘extras’ in ww. no time to do the enjoyable things in ww that got me hooked in the first place. 🙁
16 momskinz (WWID: momsownkinz) said,
December 28, 2013 @ 7:46 am
dup didn’t work for me on the red dress just now
i wasn’t paying close attention, so not sure what happened???
it worked up until now, wonder if i already did it after 8 last night???
17 momskinz (WWID: momsownkinz) said,
December 28, 2013 @ 7:47 am
i agree about needing a break, but it does work well for me that the floating snowflakes will be after the kids are back in school so hopefully i can carve out morning time or something 🙂

I made a dip today that was a big hit
Charleston Cheese Dip
Ingredients:
1/2 – cup mayonnaise
1 – 8oz package cream cheese, softened
1 – cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 – cup grated Monterey jack cheese
2 – green onions, finely chopped (Optional – I substituted a dash or two of onion powder)
Dash of cayenne pepper (I used a sprinkle, less than a dash)
8 – Ritz crackers, crushed
8 – slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, Monterey jack cheese, green onions and cayenne pepper.
Transfer the mixture to a shallow baking dish.Top mixture with cracker crumbs and bake for 15 minutes, or until heated through.
Remove the pan from the oven and top with the bacon. Serve immediately with corn chips, bagel chips or crackers.
*I mixed mayo, softened cream cheese, 1 cup grated sharp cheddar, 1/2 cup grated monterey jack, onion powder, tiny bit of cayenne, then put it all in my little dip crock pot and sprinkled on crushed ritz for about an hour, then added the bacon. I also served with sliced baguette.

kgh – that cow makes me think of strawberry nesquik – remember when you mixed it with your milk and it would turn pink but still have the chunks??? LOL
i might name it Poxie if I had it, that’s the best i’ve got right now …
27 momskinz (WWID: momsownkinz) said,
December 28, 2013 @ 9:51 pm

Quiky Pox would be cute

It just worked again for me, so let me see if I can get the steps right:
login to the store
click Webkinz up on the top banner
click holiday magic on the left menu
click deluxe holiday gift on the left menu
scroll down, click Add To Cart
scroll up, click Checkout
check out with the Gift option so it shows the code – checkout
highlight and copy the code (don’t waste time pasting it)
click Webkinz up on the top banner
click holiday magic on the left menu
click deluxe holiday gift on the left menu
scroll down, click Add To Cart
scroll up, click Checkout
check out with the Gift option so it shows the code – checkout
THEN go paste your first code in an email to yourself or something
Once you pasted the first code, highlight, copy, and paste the second code

Great post.
I was accepting gifts and just losing the credit because you can only store 25 energy credits.
So check out the box before you accept your gifts.
Thanks for keeping us informed.

I have a webkinz friends request question.. if I’m posting in the wrong area.. I apologize in advance
My 2 daughters and I have started playing webkinz friends on our ipads today. How do we find ipad “friends”?
our ids are:
JLB.Gamer (me)
hjchqz355 (daughter)
merygolds 🙂 (other daughter)
Everyone one here is so helpful.. I’m sure someone will have the answer
48 zingyginger said,
December 29, 2013 @ 5:40 pm
hi everyone!
LeeAnn, you can try adding the names on this thread (not sure why they closed it but it was useful when i used to play on the iPad. I can’t play there anymore as one of the updates excluded the iPad 1 and locked me out of my game). Dunno who’s still active but it’s worth trying.
http://www.webkinzinsider.com/forum/webkinz-friends-309/ipad-friends-759865/
Having said that, I would add friends sparingly as I don’t know if they’ve fixed the iPad issues yet. When I used to play on it, every time someone sent a request or a gift, it crashed the game, necessitating a reload which took at least 2 minutes. Also, when I had too many unanswered gifts/requests, it locked me out of my inventory so I couldn’t access the prizes I won (to send to WW).
49 LeeAnn (ww: noellepugh) said,
December 29, 2013 @ 6:04 pm
Thank you zingyginger… I know someone would have an answer. And thank you for the heads up about friends. I play of fb but suspected it might be different on ipad!

December 29, 2013 @ 8:00 pm
dee – apricots are good
poor kitties – possum yuck! hope the dog won that LOL
we have a dog a few doors down that “hunts” and will often bring me a possum or a turtle in the mornings when i walk by his house
i love the dog, but i could live without his prizes – i congratulate him because he’s so proud, but i stay away when he has something in his mouth! 🙂

does anyone know if the little webkinz clothes can still be logged in and you can go the old kinzstyle shop (gold sandals and what not) or if you will even get your clothes?

What possum recipe? Hey Dee.

Hi Patsie. I’ve been playing webkinz friends on facebook for a while (over 1 1/2 years) but my husband and kids received ipads for xmas so the girls and I started playing it on the ipad just this morning. That’s why we’re looking for friends and any tips as I know the 2 games can be different.
62 Patsie said,
December 29, 2013 @ 9:20 pm
LeeAnn, do you play Webkinz?
63 LeeAnn (ww: noellepugh) said,
December 29, 2013 @ 9:32 pm
Yes I do Patsie. My sister bought me a pug webkinz for xmas 2 years ago as a running joke.. I’ve always wanted a pug in real life. My kids already played but I hadn’t paid much attention to it. I entered my code for “Pugsley” and was hooked almost instantly. I rarely miss a day.
