Out with the old! In with the new! Well, for a day anyway:) As you can see as soon as I opened the box with the Build-A-Bear, Zealand introduced it to Owl. Bear went with us everywhere that day, Owl under one arm and Bear under the other. In the bed for nap time and off to the store and 2 doctor's appointments. I'm sorta glad Bear didn't follow everywhere in the days to come because it made for hard to manage trips that included hand holding!Build-A-Bear is new for me, I've never been in one of their stores although I definitely know all about them and the concept. I had been wanting to go this summer, once I heard that they now have a specialty owl for the release of Harry Potter but we don't have one in town, so I haven't made it into their store yet! Zealand has PLENTY of stuffed animals, and I assure you, this is no lie, this is the ONLY animal that has caught his attention other than his beloved Owl. Maybe because is has clothes and shoes? Or the fact that is it really quite adorable? Made well? All of the above probably.
For the month of August Build-A-Bear if running a $29.99 promotion. Get ANY bear, ANY hanging outfit and shoes. That's more than I would spend on a bear normally, but I know there are some DIE HARD Build-A-Bear enthusiasts and that this is a great deal in terms of Build-A-Bear deals!!!
Wanna win one?

i also follow you on twitter, which is only confusing when you and your bog are walking in different directions...
your button is on my blog at http://fentonslee.blogspot.com
your feeds, they're what's for dinner.
i'm really being a smartypants today, sorry.
constructive criticism. i like the layout of your blog, but (and i need to do this too) it'd be more elegant if you centered all the various buttons along the sidebar. (did i mention i need to do this too?) and i'm also thinking about asking @mamajoss how she resizes everyone's buttons to be the same size, because that would so streamline things over on mine too.
Thanks Momma! Tweet RE http://bit.ly/eU2z3

I would give the bear to chunky monkey, of course! He would love it! He doesn't have a teddy yet.
As for criticism, this is totally just preference on my part, but I like it when you go to leave a comment, and it pops up in a separate box. You can still see the original post, if you need to refer back, without having to scroll through a zillion comments, and also, the small box has a link at the top that says "jump to comment box", again so you don't have to scroll through all the comments. Yes, I am just THAT lazy!!
Oh, ooops! I do subscribe via RSS!!

The only thing I suggest is to not center your post, but align them to the left.
That's minor. The rest is great.
