Build A Bear Exclusive Workshops!

I was honored to be asked by Stampin' Up! to participate in the exclusive Build a Bear workshop opportunities in December, featuring Build a Bear characters HOLLY & HAL MOOSE and all of the Stampin' Up! Build a Bear products! 

I held 2 workshops (Sunday and Monday) and had many gals attend and make some Build a Bear Cards and a Die Cut bear to go on their tin.  We had lots of fun snacks and also viewed the movie "Holly & Hal Moose". 

I have many photos to share with you ... and also wanted to be sure to introduce you to our GUEST BLOGGER, TONYA STAAB, who attended my Sunday event and blogged all about it HERE.  She has a GREAT blog and she is quite a neat lady - and her daughter, Marisol... oh my gosh... WHAT A CUTIE!! :)

 
 

Build a Bear sent lots of lovely prizes for me to give away at each event!!!

Thanks to my very talented downline, Cindee, who gave me the darling green tin decorated with Stampin' UP! Decor Elements snowflakes... I had a perfect spot for some of the snacks!

And thanks to Shonna Watson who sent me these adorable BAB gummy snacks.. I just HAD to decorate them with a stamped tag ! :)

 

 

Thank you to everyone who attended! We had a great time!  And thank you to Build a Bear for the fun prizes!
