I did something very logical: I bought a set of pencils that includes something that looks strikingly similar to my old flesh-colored pencil. Since I mostly draw people these days instead of animals, I really can't color much of anything without that pencil, so paying $3.98 for the set of 36 long pencils seemed a very proper investment.

I also bought the DJ Pon-3 doll, which also seemed a very logical investment, considering they only had two of her left and one of them had a badly crunched box. (She was fine, luckily.) I got the other one, since I don't know if they'll get any more of her in while the sale's on or if the one in the good box would still be there later.

I looked at the Hello Kitty plush and ended up thinking that if I want one, the Build-a-Bear one is higher quality and might be worth the extra eight dollars (and however much more it would take to clothe her).

Think I'll ask for the Batman set for Christmas and hope Dad won't get confused on what I'm talking about.

A flesh coloured pencil is a very good idea. I always have problems mixing the right colour paint for skin tones.

I love the bears at Build-a-Bear. I know they are more expensive but the quality is so much better and with the outfits they really do look that little bit more special.

Hope your dad manages to get you the right Batman set. :)

Oh yes, it's so frustrating trying to get a workable color from things that just aren't the right color!

Totally. It's such a magical store. I love how you can help with the stuffing and try on clothes for them in the store and such. I've been impressed with every plushie I've got from them, though I'm sad that some of their more recent Ponies don't have as much hair as some of the first releases.

Thanks. :)
