Let’s Talk About Love – Build-A-Bear Giveaway

by adiaha on August 7, 2009 · 182 comments

IMG_1042Build-A-Bear has recently unveiled a new bear called the Peace & Hugs Bear. He/She is very adorable and different from all the other bears, it is navy blue! With peace sign stamped all over, this bear is a down to earth addition to the Build-A-Bear family. Luckily, the Peace & Hugs bear is not just about being cute, he/she has a BIG message, LOVE and how each of us can contribute positively to the lives of others. To help the Peace & Hugs bear spread the message, singers Jamia Nash, Grammy Award winning, Natalie Cole, David Archuleta,  and Meaghan Martin have lent their voices to a beautiful song called, “Let’s Talk About Love.” The tune can be purchased from the Build-A-Bear website for a $1.00 donation to the Save the Children charity. Each artist brings their own flair to the song. Jamia sings an R&B rendition with such charisma and flair. She has been helping to raise awareness of Build-A-Bear’s campaign for kindness. and was at the event we were invited to signing autographs. She was super sweet to Alana who drew her a picture and asked for her autograph.

IMG_1050After hanging out with Jamia for a while we had refreshments and then went off to build bears. We each got a gift certificate to build a bear. Even I got a  gift certificate, which really pleased and surprised me because mommies usually don’t get the gifts meant for the kids. We each built a bear, yes even Asherah built a long eared bunny. Alana chose a horse and I chose Hello Kitty! I really enjoyed the process. It was super cute and I loved putting my heart into my Hello Kitty! The woman who helped us fill the stuffed animals was super helpful (but  I can’t remember her name YIKES! Sorry.)
