Ok, I was talking about the spa which is cheaper than the vacations. It took me a while to learn to do screen shots of my rooms. First on my computer I had to find the print screen button. Then I had to learn to push it at the same time as the alt button. Ok that pretty much saves your current screen into your mouse, sort of. Then I had to find the program on my computer called paint. I found that under all programs, then accessories. When a paint screen comes up I push the Edit button at the top of the page and then "paste". Viola! my saved screen shows up! I use the square cutting tool On the right to surround the parts I want to keep and then right click on it to get to "copy". Then I go to the top of the page again to File and open a new page in paint. It asks if you want to save the current one. I say no. When the new page comes up I right click and "paste" Then I go back to File at the top of the page and "save as..." (Give it a name) Then it is in my saved photos and I have to put it into my Photobucket in order to post it. This is why I don't do a lot of screen shots.

Are the vacations only Tropical and the Spa? Do they ever change? I've been on the tropical one twice and the souvenirs have been the same each time.

Those are the only options right now. And the souvenirs do change up a bit. Not a lot. I don't vacation as I don't feel it is worth the $ too much. I am a cheapskate miser in real life too.

I go to the spa frequently--but have only been on a vacation one time--I think that will be ity for me as well---I agree for the money it is not worth it.

Congratulations JunieG!! I just learned how to show my rooms on my pages. I still don't understand a lot of things there.
My next house will have no kitchen - just vending machines and a large trash can.

When you figure out all of mypage, you can do a tutorial. I haven't hardly even looked in there. Haven't a clue what a widget is.

Have any of you by chance checked out the latest Webkinz contest? It says to decorate a small room with yellow furniture and decorations from the w shop. The most creative will win an e-store exclusive bunny. Brennan wants me to enter it. Problem is, there is very little yellow furniture. I'm wondering how particular they are about yellow. For instance, would my entry be void if anything without yellow was used? There isn't much that can be done in a small room with such limited furniture options. I'm having trouble coming up with a theme or exact type of room.

Yes, Rachel. I think I would have Brennan do the yellow room theme. It is a contest that would be hard to judge because most of them would be so similar with those few options. I am not sure how picky they are about actual yellow being the only color.

Thanks Sheri. I think we've got everything we need. Unfortunately items with yellow on them are very limited. This is what I've come up with so far. I think I need to change the walls to yellow. It still needs a little something somewhere but I'm not sure what. If any of you have any suggestions please let me know. The picture shown in the Webkinz Newz shows items that have yellow on them but aren't completely yellow. So, I figured as long as it has that color I should be ok.....hopefully. I refuse to buy any of the e store items. We spend enough on the plush pets as it is. This will be Brennan's only chance to get one.

Good luck Rachael!!! I think that little room is so sweet and pretty but hey maybe the walls need to be a pale yellow if they have it. That is one of my biggest gripes with them. The fact that they don't have enough variations of colors in furniture and wall and floorings. But I will be pulling for you!
And Bestofour, they don't have enough vending machines for me to buy or at least not in the area that I am in. LOL. Guess they haven't heard how much I don't care for cooking. At least at TY.com most of their food is take out or vending.but their decorations, walls, and so on are not as selective or as cute (to me) as Webkinz.

That is a very cute room, Rachel. You did good with what they have to work with.

that room is darling but I too think you should do the walls yellow since that's what they're looking for.

Got the cooler Sheri, thanks! Yes, the walls do need to be yellow. I've changed them. It just looks like a room full of mustard.
The contest rules state they allow one entry per email address instead of per Webkinz account. So, Brennan is going to do a room also to enter.

I would love for him to beat me and win. I would get a much bigger thrill from that. Even if neither of us win we've had fun together working on them.
