Build a Bears Furever’s 6th Annual Halloween Fashion Show

Hello friends! Happy Halloween! (almost. it’s close enough though!) Every year, I always love doing the Halloween Fashion show. Typically, I try to improve every year, but this year, honestly I just wanted to have fun with this. I have vivid memories of putting on some music and taking photos for this post in 2019 and I just remember how much fun I had with that. So, instead of spending a ton of time and effort into making new costumes, I just decided to make do with what I had and have fun. I didn’t actually think that I’d have … Continue reading Build a Bears Furever’s 6th Annual Halloween Fashion Show

Back to School Photos 2023

Hello friends! One of my favorite things to do around this time of year is to take back-to-school photos of the little bears! I don’t know why I started this tradition, but I did, and I love doing it now! I hope y’all like these photos! Here’s the whole gang! The chalkboard sign that I’ve used for so many years is out of commission…so what did I do? I used a rock with a shiny finish and I used a dry-erase marker. It looks cute enough! Gisselle poses with the 10th grade sign, as the only member of the 10th … Continue reading Back to School Photos 2023

BAB Band Photoshoot {CHH 2023}

Hello friends! It’s once again time for my favorite post of Camp Happy Heart that I do every year…the band photoshoot! It’s hilarious to me that I did not want to do this post in 2019, but I forced myself to do it and now I look forward to it each year. But, let’s just say the band has grown quite a bit since 2019 (originally this was a battle of the bear bands!), and I feel like each year the band photoshoot outdoes itself. Are you ready to see the photos! Me too! Let’s see what the band is … Continue reading BAB Band Photoshoot {CHH 2023}

A Campfire Crew Picnic

Hello friends! Welcome to Nature week! Can you believe we’re over halfway through Camp Happy Heart? Today, we’re going to look at a picnic here at Camp Happy Heart. The four Campfire Crew campers gather together outside. The girls look at the basket of food that Cali lovingly prepared. “Why is our picnic basket a Walmart basket?” Gracie asked. “Because I stole a Walmart basket. Duh.” Cherie glared at her sister. “That’s not true,” she reassured the other girls. “We’ve had that basket for a while. Mommy bought it for some reason. It definitely wasn’t stolen.” “But that doesn’t sound … Continue reading A Campfire Crew Picnic

DIY Dream Catchers

Hello friends! I’m Stella, and I’m going to be showing you how to make dream catchers today. You will need a round object (I used a key ring), embroidery floss, and beads. Begin by cutting a length of floss to wrap around your ring. Secure it to the ring. I did this by putting it inside the key ring and also tying it to it. Then you can add some beads to finish it off! There’s a lot of other touches you can add to this, but I was running out of time. I think it turned out really cute, … Continue reading DIY Dream Catchers
