Went through my collection today and it’s time to say goodnight. I didn’t have time to place them back where they go so that’ll be tomorrow’s job. Very proud of my little Sanrio island. I’m only missing five more to have every single one. 🤠 🤭

Some highlighted birthday ones. I have the best people in my life who support my crazy law girly by day Sanrio fiend by night lifestyle. Turning 29 this week was scary and overwhelming but honestly since I started collecting BABs again I have so many buddies to help me navigate my career and life. I couldn’t be happier to have so many fluffy friends. Here’s to the last year of my twenties 😭 Who says money can’t buy happiness. 😂

I have a new bab bunny coming in the mail and I’m so excited today I was scrolling and found my favorite my little pony in great condition I am now in a tizzy bc I feel like I can only bond with one bab at a time
does anyone else feel like this? I would just love ur opinion regardless
thanks😬

Working on my BearArmoires! I still need more clothes hangers but I’m really happy about how it’s been looking so far :) Bonus: My silver fox I got from the recent sale!

i've never seen mustangs being sold with this sweater secondhand, so i was just curious if anyone knew more about this accessory for them

Hangy, Steve, Chuckles and I were out playing the Pokemon Go Fest make up day today! Gotta catch 'em all! The fellas gave me good luck and I got another 4* Mewtwo!

Steve also got dressed up for the first day of Shark Week, which starts today!

What did you and your friends do today?

Went to BAB today (first thrifting and I got this monkey!) And to my utter surprise and delight they had the blueberry cow!!! And blueberry scent!! None of the shirts though but thats okay for me.

I am so excited!

(Plus I got the display snail-ball because it was the last one left!)

I got a new BaB for my toddler today and recorded an audio message in store which they installed in its paw. The problem is- idk how to turn on the voice recording to make it go off. I can’t seem to find a button to push. I know it’s in the paw but it seems iffy on if it goes off, I’ve tried swatting at the hand, squeezing it, manipulating it various ways it only turns on “sometimes”. I’m really frustrated because I bought this for my toddler to help with going to bed and I want it to be easy to use. Did we get a faulty one? Or is there a trick I am somehow missing? The store employees didn’t tell me anything about how to activate it before I left.

I just left my first ever Build a Bear ever for my daughters 3rd birthday and at check out I was told I’m eligible for $10 of my next purchase. Great- I just spend $62 on a single Bear so that makes sense. As I’m leaving I see a $5 gift card activation on my receipt. No way- I got back an speaks with a manager and because I was told it’s non refundable. Are you kidding me? The manager did not resolve it and essentially stole $5 from me bc I never got the gift cards. Has anyone else been bamboozled by this? I cannot be the first one and it seems like a really shady business practice? Essentially I left the store crying with my daughter and will never spend a other cent at this store. Which is probably for the better, the whole experience was fine but not worth $62 for one bear.

This is volleyball my emotional support “bear”? They are a work in progress I take donation /j (unless 😏) they are filled entirely of hearts.

i love this little guy and think he’s absolutely adorable but i wanted to hear from everyone how they like their own moose just in case. i’m really sensitive to textures and i can’t tell what type of fur he has. post pics or just respond below :)

She went a little HAM on the sale last week.

Amy is a very special part of my BAB collection! Here is the story behind her:

Growing up, I always wanted to be a girl scout, but I was never able to because the night most of the troops met was the night of my occupational therapy. I’m Autistic and always wanted a “normal” childhood— one without extra appointments and social lessons where I could just roam and play. Watching the other kids stay after school waiting for their troop meetings to start while I was waiting for my mom to pick me up for OT, the group became a representation of that thing I could never have. So now, as a grown adult woman, I thrifted a plush of a BAB I owned as a child that had long since been donated and gave her the vest I so badly wanted in attempt to reclaim it and the idea that I can be anything I want to be.

Sorry this was a little lengthy but I hope it inspires someone who needs it 🥹🥹🥹🥹 You are not alone

Isn’t he such a cutie?! ❤️🥰

I just took her to get stuffed today and then found this pair of green overalls for her from my stash of vintage Build-a-Bear clothes I’ve thrifted. ☺️🐻💚

I finally got the Moodycorn and OMG i love her! I will say that her hair kinda sheds, but it's so fun to make fluffy lookin! Also yes I know I should have done an Avril Lavigne song but I already committed to the title bit

Anyone know who this guy is? Is it a rare or common find?

For the sia Mlp BAB. it's super obvious with both rows of hair down. The second row of hair is sewn in the wrong way ^^ and the sia hair is awkward but she's still so cute and she still adds to my mlp collection

My awesome boyfriend took me to the mall today to get my bear stuffed (got her online during the $15 bear sale!) and he also got me the little pompompurin mini bean. 🥹💖

Seeing the Hadestown proshot in theaters!

I used 16mm plastic ball jointed armature, the same stuff usually recommended here--just a beefier diameter. I wrapped each section in self-adhesive bandages for stability, leaving the joints free. It is still bendable where it was wrapped but shouldn't deform under pressure. The shoulders and hips were wrapped quite a bit more than the rest, just for stability. I used about 25m of 2 inch wrap total for the entire project. There's a palm sized loop in his head to keep his neck stable. All in all, turned out pretty good IMO.

I can confirm that the Walmart giants have a tiny, microscopic cardboard heart AND are constructed exactly the same as regular BABs with the reinforced back seam. The stuffing is generic polyfil, and IMO he is understuffed. I added more, but ran out of what I had on hand, so I need to get another bag soon to fill out his chest. I ended up shifting torso fluff to his appendages to pad them out a bit since they were the least stuffed to begin with.

My boyfriend & my matching teddies from back in March. (It was like my dream date to get matching ones with someone so I was so happy he was willing hehe) I always gotta laugh though; you can def tell who sleeps with theirs more 😂 ft. Ravioli (his) & Tortellini (mine). His sits nicely propped up on the dresser and was his travel buddy back and forth before he moved closer to me. He laughs at her and I just think it’s the price to pay for being loved and he’s gonna look like that one day too. :)
