Ashleigh introduces Build A Bear Workshop

Build A Bear Workshops are a lot of fun. The monkey on the left is Chelsea. Riley built her at the store in Eugene a few years ago for her Christmas present. She has some clothes and also a little heart inside. She also has a special box in her arm that makes monkey noises. Riley got to be there for her "birth" process, from stuffing to the birth certificate. The white & pink bear Michelle found at the thrift store, and Riley promptly claimed. The dinosaur was also found at the thrift store & will be going to live with Michelle's great-nephew Skylar today. The bear on the right is Michelle's bear. She ordered her online last year. Michelle picked out her shirt and also had a box w/Brahm's Lullaby installed. Build A Bears have a wide range in price. Chelsea was fairly expensive, but was worth it for the whole experience. The two found at the thrift store were less than $2 each. The bear Michelle had done on line was only about $15 after coupons were used and half of that was shipping. So if you want to do something extra special I would recommend taking them to Build A Bear for Christmas or birthdays. Chelsea is still very special to Riley, even more than two years later.
