Bloggy giveaway number 3 today comes along with a product review, a little sad note and a gift card! This one is sponsored by Build-A-Bear Workshop.
When I was a brownie leader, I took my troop to a Build-A-Bear Workshop and they all made their own stuffed animal of their choice and picked out clothing to dress it too. It is a great way to sepnd an hour or 2 of your time with a child. It is lots of fun and they have a very nice stuffed animal to remember the day by.
On Saturday we got this in the mail to review. Right away my DD wanted to keep it. I said no, I may give it as a gift. It sat in the box until today.
Our 13 1/2 year old dog had to be put to sleep this morning. DD stayed home from school today to go with me. She remembers putting a dog to sleep when she was 5 and to console her we bought her a Bratz doll. All the crying stopped. Today she said she would either like a new dog (remember we still have a 7 month old beagle who is very wild yet!) or an ipod. I said she was getting neither and passed her the box of tissues.
6/25/1995 - 10/27/2008
When we got home, I remembered how much she wanted this Build-A-Bear. Look at the smiles that brought! She is now busy coloring the special box they give you to keep them in.
