At the Ebay Hop with Lorraine

Ruthe's Gone International!

My sock monkey empire has gone international - Ruthe was adopted and will be shipped out to British Columbia, Canada! How cool is that? She was purchased by a friend of a breast cancer walker, to show support for that walker! That made me remember how Jan brought me a sock monkey from New York when she came to cheer me on in my 2004 walk. Hmmmm.... That apparently makes Jan the inspiration for this sock monkey craziness! How completely fitting!

The next logical extension of sock monkey fundraising madness...

While investigating CafePress.com for another project, I found a WHOLE lot of sock monkey stuff for sale there. Hmmmm. What a concept! So if you cannot get enough of the Sock Monkeys for the Cure and NEED something for your own, the girls are now available in a variety of formats at: http://www.cafepress.com/sockmonkey4cure

All of the profits will go to my walk. The nice thing is that I just post the pictures, choose the items, and things are created on demand - no outlay or inventory! YAY!!!! And maybe some of those other sock monkey fans will find my girls there! Ya never know!

Queen Ruthe's Ebay Reign

Off to the Gunks with Lynda, and Onto Ebay with Ruthe!

Lynda has been won by Ahda (what a surprise!), and she is on her way to The Gunks, via Bullville, NY! Today Ruthe - a decidedly queenly sock monkey - has entered the world of ebay. She is named for my Aunt Ruthe, who truly was regal!

Speaking of crowned ladies, I found these Disney Princess Sock Monkeys on the web last night. I wish I had thought of this!!!! Can you name who's who? And I need to know... where are their princess crowns???? If you want more information, go to smonkeys.com.

Speaking of .coms, since this is going so swimmingly, I actually registered the URL for sockmonkeysforthecure.com and sockmonkeys4thecure.com. I have threatened Rick that I may just leave the world of work for the much more cozy world of sock monkeys.... stay tuned!

Lynda's Wild Ebay Experience

Introducing Lynda!

The new girl on the block is Lynda! She's a riot! Here she is, pictured with Lillian. Rick likes Lynda best so far. And as he is my fashion and hair consultant, I am pleased! This one was "commissioned" by Jan (a.k.a. Ahda) for a birthday gift for her pal (and mine) Lynda!
