Build-A-Bear Workshop® A Friend Fur All Seasons from The Game Factory called Build-A-Bear Workshop® A Friend Fur All Seasons.

Here is a description of the game provided by The Game Factory: Your furry friend is invited to a great party on Palace Island by Bearemy and Pawlette. In order to cross the sea and reach the party, Bearemy and Pawlette offer you the FriendShip. Explore new islands on the way and take time to meet and interact with the furry friends that live there. They love playing games too, so on each island you get to play mini games, help them out, and find the puzzle pieces needed to recreate the map that will lead you to the next island. Finally you reach Palace Island where a big party awaits you!

To help celebrate the launch of the Build-A-Bear Workshop® A Friend Fur All Seasons game for the Nintendo Wii, The Game Factory is auctioning off celebrity Build-A-Bear Workshop creations. All proceeds will benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern California, an organization that has been providing comfort and care to children in need of medical care, and their families, for more than 30 years. From November 23rd until December 3rd you can bid on a one-of-a-kind celebrity designed and autographed Build-A-Bear.

Summary of Purry Logic:
An all-new, all-feline collection of adorable illustrations, humorous sayings, and unadulterated cattitude from the creator of FURRY LOGIC. Filled with wry witticisms to perk up even the most finicky cat lovers, PURRY LOGIC puts a distinctly feline twist on Jane Seabrook’s popular FURRY LOGIC books. This delightful collection presents cuddly cats offering purr-worthy pick-me-ups like, “My only purpose in this life is to rest and recover from my previous lives,” “If you didn’t make the rules, just ignore them,” and “When fat, arrange yourself in slim poses.” Watercolor-painted in loving detail, Seabrook’s sleek and sassy kitties remind us that the best things in life are furry.

About Dapper Snapper:
Michelle is an inventor and entrepeneur and she is a mother of two skinny toddlers. It is not very often that you find a pair of pants that fit you thinner child around the waist. All to often, the length of the pants is perfect and the waist is too big which can cause droopy drawers. Until the invention of Dapper Snapper choices were limited to a cumbersome belt that made diaper changing and potty training nearly impossible or adjustable waist bands that cost twice as much as regular pants. With as fast as kids grow, who could he afford it? The Dapper Snapper is a cost effective, easy to use, and fashionable answer to droopy drawers.

If your kids are anything like mine than they probably dislike belts a find them a pain when going to the bathroom. Dapper Snappers are the perfect belt alternative. They are fashionable and do not impede any potty training or diaper chainging efforts at all.

Giveaway:
Michelle at Dapper Snapper is graciouslly giving me a Celestial Dapper Snapper (Navy elastic, Celestial caps, and Smoke components) to give to one of you. Check out the Dapper Snapper site and then comment here on your favorite design. (1 entry)

Elfing Around – Boy/Girl Elf Tradition
http://elfingaround.com/index.php

About Elfing Around:
Having children of her own made Lisa realize very quickly how important it is to keep the magic of Christmas alive as long as possible. She had visions of beautifully elaborate holiday seasons which included an eye-pleasingly decorated home, the yummiest aromas filling the air, the sounds of Christmas music and children laughing echoing throughout, perfectly wrapped gifts in coordinating paper with extraordinary bows adorning each one. Well, more kids were added to the mix and Lisa realized that her vision wasn’t what Christmas traditions were all about anyway.

This was about the time when the Elfing Around elves were discovered. Eureka – the Christmas tradition she’d been dreaming of! The elves were right up her alley. They were messy, funny, enchanting – but most of all they put a sparkle in her children’s’ eyes and smiles on their faces everyday, all day long. Before her eyes these magical Christmas elves changed Christmas as they knew it. They aren’t just elves to her children – they are Jingle and Sugar Plum, of course! After she set up each nightly escapade (the elf comes with a book explaining what you need to do) Lisa would go to bed excited to see her children’s reactions the next morning.

The elves became part of their family immediately. They were brought on play dates and introduced to their friends, they came to restaurants, parties, movies and honestly, this new Christmas tradition, these two Christmas elves, Jingle and Sugar Plum, brought their family together in ways she couldn’t explain. This Christmas tradition is all about family! They’ve made their Christmas less about the hype and commercialization and more about the joy that Christmas brings to those who believe. So now when someone asks me – Why a new Christmas Tradition? Why a Christmas Elf Doll? – Lisa answers smilingly, just because, it’s magical!

Product Review:
Lisa was such a doll to send me an elf for both my little girls to review. I received Sparkle (who makes dollhouses) and Pixie (who makes ballet clothes).

Each adorable little elf kit comes with: Boy/Girl Elf (12 inches tall), Parent Adventure Guide Book – year 1, Letter from Herbie Elf (this is given to the child so they can anticipate their elf’s visit), 2 Elf Tattoos and a birthday card from your child’s Elf on their Birthday.

Your child’s elf begins his/her visit 12 days before Christmas. Not to worry about next year as there is year two available. This si when the magic begins. Each night you child’s elf (with your help) will have a little fun around the house. Each activity only takes about 5 minutes to set up. All the activities will definitely bring a smile to your child’s face.

You can also add on a fun box which is some extra fun along with the activities in the parent guide.

The packaging was professional and was shipped very quickly. Lisa is an excellent person to work with. Quick responses. If you are looking for something special for your children or even your grandchildren then check out Elfing Around.
