This is a big deal contest! We are declaring August Sock Monkey Appreciation Month! Send us a photo of your favorite, most special of all sock monkey (you can be in the photo,too if you want) along with a short blurb about your monkey...what it means to you...the name...where or when you got it...who made it for you if that applies, etc. We're going to recognize the joy of our sock friends...seems everyone had one at sometime in their life...many times a relative made them. My Grandmother made my first one...I still have him of course...he even had a string in his tail so when you pull it, the tail curls up (my Grandmother always was an overachiever). We will try to post as many of them on this blog as we can and at the end of the month Irene and her consultants will choose the "BIG TIME ULTIMATE SOCK MONKEY OF AUGUST"! The winner will recieve a trophy of some sort and a special handmade sock monkey by Many Monkeys Later (examples on my Etsy site). Please e-mail the photos and stories to gloria@manymonkeyslater.com Good luck and eat lots of banannas! PS: Leave a comment on my blog and you will automatically be entered in another contest on my friend's blog...she is giving away a wonderful sock monkey related handmade bookcover (see it posted on her blog) hop on over to pamelahuntington
