Anna Builds-a-Bear

Anna has been pining after a decent Build-a-Bear experience. She sold some toys she was willing to sacrifice in order to raise the money and she also did some serious playroom cleanups on more than once occasion.  She saved some precious dollars her Memaw sent at Valentines Day and she emptied her piggy bank as well. Girlie meant business!  I tend to think $40 is entirely too much money for a stuffed animal, but I guess it was the experience she paid for mostly. She enjoyed ...

Picking the animal on her own and pressing the pedal to stuff it.


Making a wish on the heart she got to place inside it.


Brushing and blowing her new puppy's fur clean.


Selecting a dress and shoes and accessories for her new love.


And getting to carry her finished product home in a big Build-a-Bear box.
 

Puppy Love has been named Vanna since this morning.  And she's been to see Vet Anna as well as visited the dress up box for more accessories. :} 

Hope it was all worth it, baby girl. 
Welcome to the family, Vanna!

Love it!
Yes, $40 is a lot, but if she enjoys hers as much as Rebeka did it's all worth it. Pretty Kitty had bathing suits, camping gear, Halloween costumes, and a 4th of July getup. Come May she'll be donning a cap and gown (it's a surprise for her girl who still keeps her in view and all of her gear that hasn't been used in a few years kept safely in a closet).

Seriously. The price hurt so badly (even if it was HER money) that I have begun to scour ebay for some better deals on BAB outfits. :}

That cap and gown idea is PRECIOUS.

CUTE! I thought the same thing about the price when we left for Natalie's birthday last year. 80 bucks for two stuffed animals. *groan* and they want to do it again. I've successfully geared them to another venue for their birthdays :)
