Goodies

"Ajdin, you have a package!" Uncle Tibbs said.  He brought over a large box.


I wondered if this was my recent online shopping purchase.  It was!


I quickly opened the box and saw...

...a green Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles hoodie!


...and a PawPad!


I immediately put on the hoodie.

"Ooogie, how do I look?" I asked.

"Youuuuu loooook greeeeeeaat," he said.  "Tuuuuurtles ruuuuule!"


Then I started playing around with my new PawPad.


It can do some pretty cool things.


A new hoodie and a new PawPad - I am such a lucky bear!

Online shopping

Today I felt like doing some online shopping.  Online shopping is a great way to find cool stuff and avoid crowded malls.  As a stuffie, sometimes you can be mistaken for a piece of merchandise when going into stores and my mom has to tell people that I am not for sale.

So let me log onto the computer and see what cyber deals I can find today.  I am going to check out the Build a Bear Workshop.  (Note: I am not a Build a Bear but I am beary similar in size to the Build a Bears.)


Hmm, this looks familiar.  It's my Jedi costume!


Here is a sparkly pink ballerina dress...ew.  I think I will pass.


I clicked for the next page, and saw...

PANTS!  Nope, definitely not buying these.


I added a few items to my cart and then took out my Abearican Express credit card to check out.  I hope my purchases arrive soon!

Do you like online shopping?  What is your favorite store?

Sleeping bag

Recently, Julie Jane Zebra hosted a winter photo contest that I entered.  All of the photo entries in this contest were really great!  Here is my photo entry called Ice Fishing:


I was so beary surprised to learn that I won first place in this contest and would be receiving a custom-made sleeping bag from Julie's store Studio Lumio.  They make beary unique and interesting things in this store - you should check it out!  Julie and her friend Elsie worked beary hard on the sleeping bag.

The sleeping bag arrived today.  (My mom commented on the number of packages I have been receiving lately.)


There was a letter inside the package explaining that this sleeping bag was a magical sleeping bag.  I wondered what that meant.  There was also a cool picture of Julie and Elsie that they drew themselves.


I grew more and more excited as I opened the sleeping bag.


WOW!!!


It came in a beary nice blue color with a cool astrobear design!  It was also beary soft.  I crawled inside.


"Thaaaaat's nooooot hoooow yoouuuuu dooooo iiiiiit," said Ooogie.


I never had a sleeping bag before.  I tried getting in the other way.

"Aaaaah, it is so comfortable," I said.  "And it is the perfect fit!"


I turned off the light and got ready to go to sleep in my new sleeping bag when suddenly it began to GLOW...  COOL!  It was a magic sleeping bag!


Thank you Julie and Elsie for the cool sleeping bag!  I like it beary much!

Goodnight everyone, sweet astrobear dreams!

Photography scouting badge

Sandy recently hosted a Spring Photography Contest which myself and a few other stuffies entered.  Here is my photo submission, which won First Prize in the Urban category:


It was a beary fun contest! Today, my contest prize arrived in the mail.  I can't wait to see what it is.


Aha!  It is a photography scouting badge, how fitting.


It just so happens that I am wearing my Bear Cub Scout uniform today.  So I will bring this badge and myself straight to the local tailor for this sewing job.  I wonder if she is any good.


She took my measurements.


Then she broke out some needle and thread.


It didn't take long.


And before I knew it, I had my uniform back on.  (The service here is pretty good.)


Here is my new badge!  How does it look?


Thank you Sandy for the badge!  I wonder what my next badge will be...

Birdhouse reveal

Okay, welcome back everyone!  The finished birdhouse is right behind me - it will be revealed in just a moment.  Let's find Miss Feathers and give her a nice surprise, shall we?


Ah, there she is.

"Your head is the perfect perch, Uncle Tibbs," Feathers said.  "I hope you don't mind that I am sitting here."

"Not at all," he replied.  "It's as if I am wearing a fancy hat of some sort.  And you keep my head warm!"

"Miss Feathers, I have something to show you," I said.


She flew down to meet me.

"Miss Feathers, since you are officially staying with us, I would like to present you... with your beary own birdhouse!"

"For me?" she gasped.


"Yes, every bird should have his or her own birdhouse."

I carefully handed her a pair of scissors for the ribbon cutting.  (You should never pass scissors with the pointy end facing out).


"Oh, it is so lovely!" she exclaimed.


"And look at the roof - a blue sky with clouds on it!"


She went inside.

"Oh my birdseed!" she said from inside.  "Hardwood floors!  And marble countertops!  It is so much bigger than it looks from the outside."


It sounds like she likes it.


She came out.

"Thank you Ajdin," she said.  "I have flown many miles all over the world and I know that true friends are hard to find.  Thank you for the birdhouse, but most of all, thank you for a home.  You and your friends are all... what is that word you say... beary?  You are all beary special friends."

Birdhouse

SHHH!  Be beary quiet...

I am whispering because I have a surprise here for Miss Feathers.  Since she is staying with us long-term, I decided to get Miss Feathers her beary own birdhouse.


Let's take a closer look.  I think she will like it.  It's quite cute, don't you think?


It needs a lick of paint though, so let me get to work!

Check back soon to see what the finished birdhouse looks like...

Oh wait, what is this?  Gummy bears?  For me?


YESSS!!!

TGIF everyone, have a beary good weekend!
