Happy Holidays, all! I did something fun yesterday that I wanted to tell you about... I went and built my own teddy bear at a Build a Bear workshop! I was looking forward to doing this, but when I got there, the trip got that much more meaningful when I saw the bear whose name is "Read Teddy". He came with a description card that said this:
"Teddy Bears and books have a lot in common. They can be best friends, travel companions for your imagination, and so much more. That is why Build-a-Bear Workshop is proud to support literacy. A portion of the proceeds from each purchase of me, Read Teddy, will be donated to First Book, to provide new books to children from low- income families, and will also support other literacy organizations across the country. Thank you for helping to put books in the hands of children. May bears and books continue to fill your life with comfort and fun." So, of course, this was the bear I had to choose to 'build'. I just thought you all might want to know about this, for your kids, or even for yourselves! It's a fun activity, and it's good to know that you're doing some good while you're having fun. Hmm... maybe this is a good place to release books too? Stay warm and have a happy new year, all! -Timollie5502 ------------------------ Yahoo!
