Build-a-Bear

Meet Boo the Bear (that's what my son Devlin named this fuzzy guy). 

I purchased him at Convention ... He came fully equipped with his own apron and cute stamp that reads "Life Without Stamps ... Unbearable"

This may be old news to most of you, but I wanted to share a recent press release from Stampin' Up! regarding their upcoming product line.

Very cute! My little guy named his Fluffles, which is a departure from his usual stuffed animal naming convention. Can't wait for the Build-a-Bear collection to arrive at my doorstep! It was so much fun at convention with you and I am excited for the next time! Thanks Kris!

Thanks for sharing the pictures of the bear! Now I'm really hoping they made more than just for convention attendees! I hear a few have showed up on eBay but I'd so much rather get mine from SU!
