Beary Nice Ideas!

Thanks for the nice comments on the Little Build-A-Bear! Some ideas for and from everyone:

*Buy the recorders first and take home to make your message. Then go back to the mall & put in bear. (This one's for you Ellie! No public restroom recording!)  :-)

*Get the BIG 2-1/2 gallon ziplocks to put bear in for travels.

*Buy a plain white t-shirt from B-A-B and take to guy in the mall that can scan your pic on it. I didn't have time to do this but LOVE the idea.

*Ask the store for stickers. They have "press here" stickers to put on hands and feet.

* Write name of child, birthdate, and orphanage on ziplock as well as a note saying to press or squeeze the hands and feet of bear for message. Good idea, Jess! (I was afraid the ink would get on the bear or smell it up if I put a note inside, so I only wrote instructions on ziplock.)

PS - the hot bath is not only good for leaving your scent on the bear. But it also serves to relax the nerves when you know there is a board meeting going on in Thailand!!
