Hi Pattie, I have heard of Build A Bear stores, but I haven't been able to go because where we live doesn't have one. They do have one where my brother lives (in a bigger city) and he made my daughter a cow for her first birthday! It's really cute, and came with a certificate too! Have a great day! Love & Hugzz, Your Friend, PurpleTeddyBear ;)

Oh my goodness. A kid in my daughter's class a few years ago got one when she went to Halifax and my daughter loved it. But Halifax is 5 hours away and I have only gone twice in almost 12 years and that was for surgeries so I wasn't going to go hunt down the place. I wish the store was in a place we could actually get to so my kids could make one. But if that ever happened they would probably have kids of their own by the time it happened. :( Vicki

Yes i have been to a small one before. Our local shopping centre used to have a bear factory. It's really good building your bear from scratch and adding all your own objects. Then you get to pick a name and get a bert certificate printed with it's name on it.

My son got a gift card for Build-A-Bear for Christmas last year. He thought it was pretty cool. He ended up dressing his like Buzz Lightyear and named him Buzz Bear. It is pretty meat you even get a Birth Certificate for them.

Happy Anniversary for your cool relationship and the peace time that you have had been through with your beloved husband. May God Bless for you and your husband for now and forever, even though I never made a customize bear. The imperative thing is to celebrate the anniversary to commemorate the date of respectfulness to each other. The fostering of sweet memories, freshen up the deep feeling towards each other. Cheers, Pattie.

I have a build a bear. It's type is the curly brown teddy. It's so cute! But I think the clothes' prices are kind of expensive! I mean $20 for a dress! I wanted it a lot! I buy my bear's clothes from sales at stores and mostly dollar stores.

build a bear - my bear
I got a gift card from my son for my birhday for build a bear. I was so excited to go and build my own bear. When I go to the mall, I have to look at the clothes for her. Here is my bear, I just love her. That was a great idea you had. Your husbands bear is so cute.

I love Build-a-Bear! I have a koala that my husband and I made, a lamb I made on our honeymoon, and a bunny in Hello Kitty jammies. My koala plays a message from my hubby and my lamb is precious. She's wearing a ballerina outfit. My bunny is my favorite. She's in the jammies and she even has Hello Kitty slippers. She has angel wings too. My koala is named Baboo, after the name Sally gave Linus on the Peanuts, my lamb is Lola, and my bunny is Lucy.

No I never went to a build a bear, but I shot a Black bear in my front yard, about 40 feet from the front door. I was watching the News on TV just after 6 pm. when I noticed something Black and shaggy ambling past the window. I jumped up rushed over to the window just in time to see a large bear going round the house. I rushed to the cupboard grabbed my rifle and some cartridges and went outside. Then I saw him standing in a grove of trees. I raised the rifle and shot him in the head. Then I called my son who came with the tractor and loader. He dug a deep hole back of the shop, and we buryed the bear real deep. Bear with me now, we are almost Done! Black Bears are increasing Quickly in southern Ontario because they have stopped the Spring Bear hunt.
