with a touch of red here and there:

Do you think the manhole cover makes the racecar look like it's flying through the air?

Salty!

What an awesome update! And so nice to see that Franklin is giving your new Asian Account a piratey start!

It is wild seeing such a wonderful room ... with no doors in it!



And I love how you have used the red rugs! Man, I am going to have to get some of those from the Curio Shop soon. They look awesome! It is always such a pleasure looking at your house.

WELCOME TO FRANKLIN CONNELLY.

i bet that ORVILLE had a fun time sprucing up the eagles nest!!!!

i love the race car room..and yes the car does look like it is floating over the manhole cover.

you beat me on the updates ... i just put up 4 rooms this morning!!!! isn't that a hoot!!!!
i don't think i will ever go asian..... it is not me to be that much of a NIGHT OWL. have fun over there !

Thanks for the very nice visit, Miss Spots! I can't wait to see your updates, however speaking of night owls, I just returned from a day trip to visit the darling Miss Tea Party (who was in a very fine dance performance this afternoon on top of rehearsals for a local high school production of The Sound of Music, in which she is playing the youngest little girl!). Anyway, I think I have to check out your updates in the A.M., as this Webkinz lover is beat!

I am assuming you know, SaltyMac, about the Asian thread that tracks rares (and lots of other stuff)? If not, check it out. There is a great group of people there and lots of great information.

I really like the touches of red in Buzz Aldren's pirate room as well. Have a great weekend!

Thanks for the heads up about the darksiders, JMS!
I hear they have cookies , but I'm not sure I'm serious enough about rare items to truly hang with them. We'll see.

Well, I don't have a Housez thread. Should I make one? I think that I will! But, I have 70+ rooms; it could take a while!

[dumblonde693]

Your house is awesome! I love the colours, and the decorations! It's super unique and bright and vibrant! I love the design!

Well, if you want to check it out, we would love to have you. I don't often get up in the middle of the night (EST) but I grab the rares when they are early or late. Do be warned, the darkside has a very strong pull. If you start hanging out with us, you will get drawn in more and more.

Thanks Hmm!
I was thinking the same thing about the room with no doors! Almost makes me not want to adopt anymore Webbies on that account (yeah, right!). One thing I have recently noticed, is if you put your room on "my page" in WW, it shows up without the doors. I haven't tried doing any screen shots that way yet, and the downside is it doesn't show any pets. Still has interesting possibilities.
Just reviewed your updates - awesome, as usual! You did a great job of getting your submarining crew into Hugh's underwater holiday brunch!

Hmm

Ooh! A "single image" sounds like a great idea! Can't wait to see how you do that, because I'm now over 20 Webkinz, and all the little icons will no longer fit on one post.

Yay, Possible! I'm so excited that you're planning to make a house thread!! The rooms you posted on my contests were great!

My reco would be to reserve about the first 5 pages of your thread (I didn't know how to do that yet when I started this one - you just put 20 smilies in each one, and write a note that the post is reserved for future rooms (so the mods won't think it's "fluff" and delete it). Then start small. Maybe 3 or 6 rooms to start, then add a manageable amount each week.

I hope you start with that great pink room you have in your siggie!

[KittyKat913]

I L-O-V-E Franklin's new room! So awesome! Great job with the house thread. I'm thinking about opening mine back up again, but better!
