monkey delivery

I had over six hundred guests for the holidays. Six hundred sock monkeys hung out in my house until just a couple of weeks ago. Six hundred sock monkeys for six hundred kids who need them. Sometimes I would even find them hiding in other parts of the house. Most of the lot were very well...

blessings abound {i’m in the monkey business}

We have been as busy as Santa’s elves collecting, opening, counting, and sorting sock monkeys. I wanted to pop in and show you a few more pictures of the monkeys on Thanksgiving day. Behind the scenes I have been busy finding homes for all of the monkeys. Over 1,500 families lost their homes to wildfire....

Monkeys have come in packages of one and packages of 56. Yesterday alone five packages arrived on our doorstep. Five packages that contained 89 sock...

fifty two monkeys, sitting in a tree.

My youngest, Chloe, likes to sing the alligator song. You know, the one about the monkeys sitting in a tree and the alligator snaps that monkey right out of that tree. Well, Chloe likes to sing it at the top of her lungs when we are sorting sock monkeys. I swear I couldn’t make this...

It’s a pretty big deal when a box arrives on our front porch. Thankfully, today there were three boxes so each kid could grab a box. If there’s...

two, two sock monkeys {said in my best count voice}

Just a few days after I announced Project 15 :: Sock Monkeys for Texas a package arrived in my mailbox. My kids check the mail so it was a BIG DEAL that there was a package inside. How soon they forget what receiving donations for Craft Hope looks like. It’s awe inspiring. So the kids...

project 15 :: sock monkeys for texas

Here in Texas we have had the hottest summer in history. I don’t even think that the word hot adequately describes what a scorcher Texas has been. The crops have died. The yards are brown. The lakes are empty. It is a burnt up landscape. Literally. We have been praying for rain, with little answer....
