That is so gorgeous. I have not done anything with stone paths, but I love that!

Salty, Murphey's room is absolutely gorgeous! It's so bright! I like the stone pathways as well, it gives it an artsy feel.

Your rooms are stunning.

Thanks you for sharing.

Tetley, our resident wizard, likes to begin his Saturdays by checking his crystal ball for happenings in WW.

Imagine his delight to find a packing peanut assault has been launched against Ganz HQ in NY, by none other than the Elephant Justice League, sponsored by our favorite creative genius, Hmm!

Check out Hmm’s threads for this glorius list of great grey grievances, as well as her brilliant pirate ship house thread:

http://www.webkinzinsider.com/forum/...ce-new-470928/

http://www.webkinzinsider.com/forum/...palace-248702/

After reading the grievances of his friends and colleagues, Tetley thought about what he might do to help the cause… As noted by Hmm and BjornTorunn, packing peanuts are difficult to transport in large quantities, since, due to their very low bulk density, they take up a large volume.

Tetley thought he might be able to supply the assault brigade with their artificial legumes in a higher density, but expandable form: packing peanut pellets. These enable the transporation of 100 times more peanuts in the same volume container. Tetey is providing vacuum-packed canisters to the Elephant justice league. When the troops open the pull-tab top, exposing the pellets to air, they inflate to 100X their size, and form their familiar peanut shape. One note of caution: it is critical to pour the pellets out of the container quickly, before the ones on the surface expand so much they get stuck in the can!

Salty --

You *must* post this on the Justice for Elephants thread. You absolutely must! This is inspired wackiness.


And front page material.

My only qualification: Ganz is out of Canada, not New York.

SWEET HOUSE!!!!!!!!!

salty, it is so nice to see that your crew of webbies is helping HMM, in her quest to attack ganz.

i think tetly is on the right track by making a special packing peanut that has those miraculous qualities to expand and have a straighter flight for impact.
i actually wnder what the INSIDE the ganz head quarters would look like filled with packing peantus.

such a cute update. i especially like using the crystal ball for the latest newz!!! i think it more reliable.

Miss Spots --

Want to join us in the Elephant Justice League? There is lots of important work to be done!

I absolutely love Tetley's room and his idea for the compressed packing peanuts is wonderful! He will be such a big contributor to the packing peanut assault! It is so fun to read everyone's imaginative ideas for this campaign!

I have another medieval room to make as the bedroom for my second bulldog Lord Chesterfeld and I have been kind of stuck. I didn't want to just do the same thing I did with Chester's bedroom. I think Tetley's room is the inspiration I needed. I love the combination of wizard and medieval items in general and particularly like how you did it in Tetley's room. Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring me yet again. Lord Chesterfeld's bedroom needs to get finished so I can continue the storyline on my house thread LOL! I will have to come and look again after I get some sleep. Have a good night.

Oh yes, looking at that beautiful yard reminded me - I assume you have seen that the snow has departed in Asian and is about to leave us in the NA accounts. Hope your webbie family enjoys the fresh grass!

[Hmm]

It just occurred to me...

You should go enter this room into 0jacksonredwall's medieval room contest in the Contests and Prizes Galore forum.



It's a great room, and you still have tomorrow to get it entered.

Hmm

I want to say a great big welcome to Murphy. He looks so handsome in his green top. I really like the room he is in as well. Is he sharing with Sugarplum/Valentine? The charm forest floors looks really good with the Easter wallpaper and I would have never thought to try that combo - so glad you did! I also really like the combination of the green/cream/pink accents throughout the room and the rainbow table is perfect for Murphy with his Irish background.

Congrats to Sugarplum on her new piano. It is gorgeous and I agree that the music is so pretty. We still have to get the room decorated for the new piano at our house LOL!

Your new yard is gorgeous and definitely looks ready for spring! I was very surprised to see my name mentioned regarding the stone path. I do have to admit that I was inspired by someone else (probably several someone elses and I don't remember exactly who) to try and use the stone path but I am so glad that my room helped lead you to create such a stunning yard. I really like how you have that pretty pool (is it e-store or a PSI?) totally surrounded by the stone path and the balance of the yard is just really nice. I also am wondering when spring will arrive in WW. I haven't heard any definite answers as to when it will happen so I think no one knows for sure - Ganz likes to keep us guessing I suppose LOL!

JMS, I just LOVE reading your comments!
Thanks for appreciating the green and pink spring room! And thanks again for showing us the stone path in your garden! The in-ground pool is from the eStore.

And thanks for the heads up on the snow melting!! My Asian account still only has one room, and no yard, so I hadn't seen the spring grass yet! Time to re-stage the garden party!! Hurray for Spring!!

Thanks for your nice comments, Hmm! I'm about to go see what this garden looks like with grass instead of snow!

Thanks so much, Hmm! As you've no doubt seen, I quickly accepted your invite to join the Elephant's Justice League! Your thread is FABULOUS! Arlo Guthrie would be proud of you for starting a movement! {No, I'm not old enough to have seen his original performance at Woodstock, however the classic rock radio stations I've listened to most of my life always play Alice's Restaurant on Thanksgiving}

Thanks for the correction on Ganz HQ location. The reason I thought it was Cheektowaga, NY, is because that's what's printed on the plushie tags (at least the ones I pick up here on the East coast).

Perhaps we could pack the controlled release pellets into small packages, and mail them to Ganz, so that when they open the mail, they will be overcome with laughter at the rapidly expanding packing peanuts...

Reality has been infringing upon my WW an WI time in recent weeks... I feel like I've been neglecting everyone else's threads. I will be back as soon as things settle down in next couple of weeks. Have been doing some traveling on weekends preparing for a rather exciting personal acquisition... complete with its own decorating opportunities! perhaps I could share a photo with you without getting too personal. Be right back!
