Woo-hoo...it's that time again! This weeks kicks off Bloggy Giveaways Carnival and boy, do I have a good one!
On Sunday, the girls and I attended a private Blog Moms' Mixer at Build-A-Bear Workshop in St. Louis. It was the first time we have been to Build-A-Bear but we will definitely be going back. The girls both got the chance to make a High School Musical themed bear, complete with an outfit, accessories and of course, a heart. The girls are already best friends with their bears. (Macie named her bear Ashley and Zoa named her bear Jacksey. Ummm, okay.)
My camera cord is still missing, but you can view Build-A-Bears Flickr account to get a preview. I am so excited about their pictures because there are some really great shots of the girls and they did such a great job of capturing the fun.
There were a few mom bloggers there and I can't wait to dive into their blogs and learn more about them. All of our children got along well for the two hours we were at Build-A-Bear, which speaks volumes because it lasted right through nap time!
Probably the most exciting part of our mixer was that Maxine Clark, the owner and founder of Build-A-Bear, took time out of her schedule to hang out with us during the mixer. She helped the girls stuff their bear as you will see in the pictures. (She is wearing a red jacket.) She was so nice and patient with all the children! Ms. Maxine also gave us an autographed copy of her book titled, The Bear Necessities:Building a Company With a Heart. I started skimming through it on the way home and seemed very interesting to read, even if you are not wanting to start your own business.
I don't have a copy of the book to give away, but Build-A-Bear Workshop graciously gave me a $25.00 Gift Card to give to one of my readers! I also have a $5.00 off a $25.00 purchase coupon to add to it as well.

We went there last week for my younger son;s birthday and my older son was so sad that he couldn't get one too. He really wants the magical monkey, so that is what I would spend this on.

I've always wanted to take my daughter to Build A Bear! Looking at their site, I honestly think my little girl would go for the pink bear with the breast cancer ribbon! My mom was just diagnosed a couple months ago so we see that ribbon a LOT these days and my daughter has become kind of attached to anything with ribbons. :)
I love the Zebra, it's so unique! Thanks for the chance!

I'm from St. Louis!!! Actually, the last time we were home for a visit, my husband and I were at a Cardinals game and he went to the build-a-bear club. He built two Fredbirds. Really? Fredbirds? Two? So, this time I'd either get a turtle for my daughter (rather, let HER do it) or get a moose for my sister-in-law who is pregnant and loves mooses.
Great giveaway! If you'd like to come by my blog, I'm having a giveaway too. May or may not be something you need/want, but you could always gift it if you win!

I have 3 children all born in the month of December, 2 of which are twins and born right before Christmas. My 2 girls both are wanting to go to Build-A-Bear. I know the last time we stopped in (even tho we didnt buy one) my oldest daughter liked the firefighter mainly because her Grandpa (my father) was a fireman for 30 years and she loved to go and climb on the fire trucks. This would be an amazing gift for either birthday or Christmas...thanks for the chance!!
