Meet Lolo

This is Lolo, he's Julian's bunny, and he comes from the Build-a-Bear Workshop:

 

Although he's a bunny, and we'll be working with bears at the beginning, hopefully we'll get more characters in the future :D

 

All the Build-A-Bear products (stamps, paper and dies) will be available for you starting September 1st... don't miss them!

If you're local, this is the nearest store to make your own bear: Niagara Falls, Ontario: Clifton Hill - 5713/5717 Victoria Avenue - Phone (905) 353-8270

I'll have to go and make my own bear too :D

The next time you have a party at BAB or invited to one, you'll be able to make your own invitations, thank you notes, birthday cards... and so much more.  Stay tuned for some ideas...
