Hello friends! I really enjoyed sharing the first episode of this series, so here we go again with episode two! I hope you like reading some more stories about the bears…also I think you’ll recognize a lot of these bears if you’ve been around for a while. Enjoy! (BAB stands for Build-a-Bear, BABW stands for Build-a-Bear Workshop, and MLP stands for My Little Pony. Also, disclaimer for my fuzzy memory!) Swirl Cinnamon Swirl was the first Small-Fry in the bunch. (well, technically she’s the only Small-Fry, but the name of the line always stuck with me) She was supposed to … Continue reading Magical Memories ep. 2

The Easter Bunnies ~ A BABF Easter Special

Hello friends! Honestly, I’m not quite as proud of this story as I have been with a lot of my posts. It turned out much shorter than my usual post, and I was sort of trying to imitate an older style of mine, but I don’t really think this is my style anymore. Oh well. Ultimately, I do think this concept is cool though, so I thought I’d share it anyway. “Breaking News,” the television shouts. “Due to inflation and the rising cost of eggs, the Easter Bunny will not be visiting children this year.” Swirl gasps loudly. “No Easter … Continue reading The Easter Bunnies ~ A BABF Easter Special

Build a Bears Furever’s 5th Annual Halloween Fashion Show

Hello friends! Can you believe it’s time for the 5th annual Halloween Fashion Show? Every year, I try to improve upon last year’s Halloween Fashion Show. Sometimes I improve the photos, sometimes the setting… This year, the focus was on the costumes. Usually, I reuse the costumes from years past, and I’ve done a little of that this year as well. But… This year we’re doing Marvelween! When I made Cali’s Scarlet Witch costume last year, I had an idea. What if the entire Halloween Fashion Show was Marvel themed? Fair warning, this post has fewer costumes than normal. But, … Continue reading Build a Bears Furever’s 5th Annual Halloween Fashion Show

Oh No, The Power’s Out!

It’s a stormy day at Camp Happy Heart. The Bold Butterflies cabin is gathered in their cabin, not wanting to walk around in the dangerous weather. The power flickers out and the four campers are left standing in the dark. “Oh my!” Cherie shrieks. “I don’t like the dark.” Cherie thinks she sees a ghost in the window. She runs to her bed and hides. “I don’t like the dark…” Swirl goes over to comfort her friend. “It’ll be alright,” she pats Cherie’s shoulder. “We’re here with you.” “Yeah,” Cherry pipes up. “Nothing will happen to you if we all … Continue reading Oh No, The Power’s Out!
