The Back Page – Little Monkeys

First off, have you seen the exclusive color set available at All That Scraps?  Be sure to check out the new colors that coordinate with their products.  Love that you can use their colors and really highlight their stamps in your collections.  And right now, they’re on sale, too!  Awesome!

And now for the May release news you’ve been waiting for, the hints you’ve been seeing – Gardens are in bloom now that the April showers have brought lots and lots of May flowers.

So, let’s bring those colors inside to stay!  Without further ado, we’re happy to introduce our newest color set…
…the Garden Bloom Set!!!

I love that there are brights and lights in this set, just like all the color variations dotting the gardens, fields, and roadsides.  Our first wave of wildflowers here in Texas, which tend to be lighter, have come and gone and now the bright, bold summer flowers are starting to pop up.  No matter where you are or what type of weather, this set is sure to make you smile.   Swing by the Little Monkeys Shop and get your’s today!!

Also new in the Little Monkeys Shop – we got a big batch of shrink film sheets by mistake with one of our last orders.  So, our random order is your gain!  Shrink your favorite stamps into the perfect embellishment for your layout or card with our pack of six (6) sheets of 8.5″x11″ shrink film for $4.29.  We’ll probably keep them around for good now that we have them, b/c who doesn’t love playing with shrink film?!?! 

More news – we will continue to offer the Tropical Getaway Set as a permanent set.  I’ve loved all the color sets so far, but just can’t get this one out of my head so we’re gonna have to keep it around.

Finally, I’ve thought about this repeatedly with past color sets, so I’m gonna ask – are there sets you’re really missing that you’d like to see back?  Do you wish they were all around longer or on a permanent basis or is it not really an issue that one goes away?  Maybe once a year we should bring them all back for a year-end review?  Hmmm…we need your help!  Let us know what you think!  We’ll make it worth your time to leave a comment, too! 

Congratulations to Ms. Tidwell’s 2nd grade class for winning first place at the Crestview Elementary Science Fair!

May release news coming next!

We’re working on the site and also waiting for one last order to arrive before we can post the release, so this month we’re going to post the new color set/Little Monkeys update next Tuesday.  Can’t wait to share everything with you!  Have a great weekend – see you soon! 

Thanks for the well wishes – everyone is doing much better.  Ultimately, four of us got sick.  It’s a real eye-opener or puts things in perspective for those times you don’t feel good, but you’re not really sick.  It had been several years since I’d been really sick like this.  I’ve had my fair share of colds and general bugs where you feel sick and generally woe is me.  Gonna happen.  This, though, made me feel like a wimp thinking I was sick during those times.  Gonna try to remember this the next time my allergies are kicking my butt and ‘suck it up, Princess’ as the Papa/boys say.

So, I’m catching up on orders right now.  Anything & everything is going out and then, I’ll tackle emails.

I hope all the mama’s had a wonderful Mother’s Day yesterday.  The boys took good care to make mine special – lots of homemade flowers & cards and cinnamon toast delivered on a tray for breakfast.  Even had my coffee delivered to me!  Overall – very sweet boys = very sweet day!
