AND THE WINNER IS...

Winner winner - chicken dinner...

And the winner of the build a bear give-a-way contest is...drum roll please...

JENI...COMMENTER #15 on the blog. YAY!

Jeni, if you will email me directly at Angie@AngelicaGraceDesigns.com with your address, we'll give it to the build-a-bear PR reps who will be shipping your winning animal to you. Thanks so much to all of you who played along. I love these give-a-ways and hope that each of you do as well.

For now...I'm off with Brennen and my Mom to finally go see "NEW MOON" at the theater. Due to the move, we missed the opening premiere. I have been dying to see it but just haven't had the chance until now. Kenidi is staying in with Daddy for the night while the three of us go see it this evening. Needless to say, Brennen and I are beyond excited. He loved Twilight as much as I did. We've been rooting our "undefeated" Indianapolis Colts on from afar today and are now ready to go and take in some "Edward" for the night. :)

Happy Sunday! Angie

BUILD-A-BEAR TO THE RESCUE

Meet the Holiday hugs teddy bear. I was hoping to have introduced this sweet little bear at least a week ago but our move across several state lines to Southwest Florida thru my blogging schedule completely out of whack and now here I am. With that said, are you looking for that "special something" for that special little one on your Christmas list this year? Having trouble deciding on a lasting gift that will bring years worth of memories without providing you the memories of trying to unleash it from a boxed nightmare? If so, how about trying Build-A-Bear workshop for your gift needs this year? My kids adore going to build-a-bear. And yes, even my son who is approaching 11 years old. There doesn't seem to be an age barrier at all whatsoever when it comes to that store. It's great for kids but also makes for fun date nights for that significant other on your arm. Build-a-bear provides lasting keepsakes that leave a loving impression. With the many varieties and choices that build-a-bear has to offer in regards to their animals as well as the accessories, you are really able to let those creative juices flow. Each gift is a personalized treat made from the heart.

Our family got the special blessing of receiving build-a-bears latest winter holiday hugs bear. The PR peeps from Build-a-bear sent us this adorable little guy and we were so thankful to be able to welcome him into our home with loving arms. He's gone from a Hoosier in the cold to a Floridian in the sunshine state within a matter of 2 weeks. HA HA! What a life! Needless to say, Kenidi fell in love with him. Brennen tried to confiscate him right off the bat from Kenidi. The winter holiday hugs design was well received here in our house. I especially liked him because he goes well with the holiday decor but isn't something that necessarily screams "holiday". We can keep him out as a decoration throughout the season. This collectible bear is individually numbered and includes a collectible pin. Plus, get a buildabearville.com bonus of 7,500 Bear Bills to spend when you bring this cute teddy bear to life online for free in Build-A-Bearville. The price as shown for the bear is $20. Aside from the winter holiday hugs bear, build-a-bear is currently offering many seasonal products and even those popular faces like Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Oh and before I go...did I mention that AGD is doing a give-a-way for one of the build-a-bear animals? Yeap, we sure are. Feel free to sign/comment on the blog below. We'll randomly choose a number by weeks end. If you were that number when you commented, you WIN! I'll announce the winner this weekend. Until then, get to commenting here on the blog in an effort to win and then go visit build-a-bear for all of your holiday gift giving needs.

xoxo, Angie
