International Star Registry and Russ Berrie present ShiningStars.com!

Thursday May 24, 2007
Shining Stars PenguinI just came across something new and refreshing, and I just had to blog about it right away. It's mystical, fascinating and glamorous - of course, it has to be all those things because it has to do with stars - yes, real stars that shine in our universe. Curious? Well, I'm talking about a virtual kid's website called ShiningStars.com.

Russ Berrie US Gift Inc., the famous teddy bear and plush maker, has teamed up with the International Star Registry to come up with this whole idea. I must say, I think it's an innovative idea - I rather like the idea of having a star named after me, and I think most kids will like that too! Read the full story at New Virtual Kid's World at ShiningStars.com.
