I have to be honest... When I saw sock monkey in Unity's KOM last month, I didn't think I would ever use this sock monkey. But I stamped some up thinking he might become cute. Well, it turns out that Oliebollen has a sock monkey for sale! Here's my conversation with myself before I made the card. LOL!
So.... What kind of card should I make? I do need more Christmas cards. Maybe I could find a Santa hat that wasn't too, too big for him. I found this one in my Wish RAK Christmas stash. What sentiment should I use? My favorite unique sentiments are from Unity & TAC. When I saw this one that I hadn't ever used, I thought it was perfect... just as goofy as the sock monkey!
PLEASE don't be offended if you like the sock monkey.
It turns out I like the card. LOL! I just don't know who I would give it to!

I'm typically not fond of the sock monkey either, Jen, but this polkadotted Santa sock monkey is cute! I really like how you used him for your Christmas card. Great sentiment, too!
