Puffle Fans Preparing and Secret Message from HERBERT!
Puffle Fans Preparing :)
February will see grand Puffle celebrations.
Many Puffle-fans were buzzing with excitement this week. February comes with an entire month of Puffle inspired celebrations and surprises.

Penguins are hard at work preparing items, furniture, and a special party. It’s the perfect time for everyone to show their love and appreciation for their favorite furry friends.
The Club Penguin Times interviewed some of the party planners and item makers around the island.
“The Gift Shop is working around the clock,” said a store manager. “We’re getting lots of new Puffle fashions ready–including items inspired by the brown Puffle!”
“New furniture items are also in the works,” another penguin added. Should be ready before mid-February. Keep an eye out for them.”
There's a lot in store so keep checking the Club Penguin Times for more info.

Wilderness Expedition Ends January 30 :)
The Wilderness Expedition is coming to a close, and many are wishing it a fond farewell. With lots of amazing and interesting discoveries made, explorers everywhere are celebrating.
“It was such an exciting challenge! And I’m so proud that we found the brown Puffle,” said one explorer. “We were so brave. The maze was really hard. But all of our efforts paid off.”
As the excitement winds down, many are left with questions about other wilderness mysteries.
“While I was exploring, I kept finding these strange notes,” said an adventurer.
“They helped me find my way—big time. Whoever wrote them is a first-class wilderness and Puffle expert. So if they’re reading this now—thank you!”
If the expert IS reading this, please contact the Club Penguin Times for an interview. Wilderness Expedition Party 2011 LINK Collection :)
Ask Aunt Arctic :)
CHU SMI
Dear Aunt Arctic, How do you pick who gets published in the Club Penguin Times?–Chu Smi
Dear Chu Smi,
This is probably the hardest part of my job. I receive heaps of letters and questions every week–enough to fill my igloo. Compared to this, earning extreme Stamps is like a walk through the Plaza.
There are actually a number of different answers to your question. Sometimes, for my column, I pick a certain question because lots of penguins are asking it. But sometimes I'll pick one because no one has ever asked it before or if I think it’ll be interesting to investigate.
As for jokes and riddles, I’ll often choose ones that match what’s going on around the island. I pick Halloween jokes during October, and medieval riddles for the Medieval Party.
But more often though, I choose jokes because they make me laugh. Riddles because they make me think. And questions for my column that I think will benefit the most penguins.
And remember–the most important skill for a writer is persistence. Best of luck!
