The shop will remain in vacation mode for a few more days while I focus entirely on all of the business things that were dropped in order to care for my family.
In the meanwhile...all of you calendar fans, enjoy this month's yummy design. Be prepared to feel the enormous need to purchase many a pumpkin pie, just from turning on your computer. :o)
I'll be back up and running by this weekend....thanks again to all of you!
Did I sleep through 2009? How is is October already? Well, while I stress about the holidays rushing towards me like I rush towards a self-serve ice cream bar....you can dress up your desktop with this months scribblemonkey calendar.
September was a great month here at scribblemonkey...full of fun projects and wonderful people. I look forward to October and the new designs coming out. Also, a surprise is on it's way right now and will be a great new feature for the monkey.
Hope all is well with you! Remember, if you have a crazy idea (or even a sane one) and you want it put on paper, drop me a note...challenges are the bananas that monkey feasts upon!
Have you heard that scribblemonkey is now on Facebook? Over these past few months I have found tons of applications that have proved to make life and business run smoothly. I will be reviewing all of my favorite little apps in hopes of helping out all of the monkey's pals.
First things first...Facebook Fan Pages. Do you have a business that you want to promote, and you've wondered how you can do so on Facebook? Go to this link and follow the instructions: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/create.php
Once you have set it up there are tons of different utilities you can add to the page in order to make it show all of the important facts about your business. Check out the monkey's page to see a few of the ones that I have found most helpful. If there is anything you see on any of my sites that you need help with, let me know and I'll feature your question in the next blog post.
I will be cleaning up the shop and putting up the new designs the first week in October. You are going to love em! :o)
Go and check out their site, and if you are in the San Fran area this weekend {Sept 11-13}...make sure to get your tickets and join in the fun for a good cause!
If you aren't in the San Francisco area, check their global site and see if there is a Twestival near you!
Big thanks to @krystyl for being so wonderful to work with, and for extending me such a sweet invitation!
It's that time again people! Is your desktop naked? Are you always trying to find a calendar? Do you wish you could have a troop of monkeys without the mess? Then this months monkey farm calendar is for you. :o)
Also...keep an eye out for the new Holiday designs & glass tile pendants that will be appearing in the shop soon. As always, thanks to all of you who have ordered this past month and all who are about to...you guys have all been an absolute pleasure to work with...not a brown banana in the bunch!
It's BOGO time people! No more wanting two different designs and being unable to make a choice between them....the BOGO is here to set you free! THIS WEEKEND ONLY {aug 21st-23rd} SCRIBBLEMONKEY WILL BE HAVING A BIG BOGO SALE!
How does it work you ask?? Buy one set of flat stationary or calling/business cards and get a second set of equal or lesser value for FREE!! Now is the time to be able to get both of your favorite sets, rather than having to choose. Just type "bananas" into the notes section after you purchase one set...let me know what other set you want and voila...you are a stationary collector!
In other news...I have been getting tons of requests for changes to designs in my shop. I just wanted to let you all know up front...I LOVE THAT!! Please...take what I have up there and change it around to match you! Also, if there is something you have always wanted to see turned out on paper, let me know and I would love to do a custom design for you.
Gotta go get busy...I am working on the production side of a few new glass tile pendants. Watch the shop for the new adorable necklaces to come!
I need to put together a post for my lightbox instructions! I have been working on it...but I need to do a few more things before I put it up. So...rather than give you ripe bananas on Monday, I am giving it to you today with the yummy theme of tangerine.

Ok...so I know I haven't written in far too long! Go ahead and yell...I'll just wait here until you are done. doo do do do do. Done? Alright...now down to business.
All of you have been so wonderful since I started scribblemonkey almost 3 months ago. It's gone by so quickly and yet been PACKED with stuff to do. I call them my todos {to do soon}, which are very different from my todoimd {to do in my dreams}.
I am so appreciative to all of you who have ordered and trusted me with everything from twitter cards to wedding invites. I have enjoyed working on each and every one of your orders. I have had many requests to change up my orders a bit...from numbers to colors, you guys have been customizing like crazy! That's why scribbles always says: "paper stuff to match you".
I have many many ideas of what I need to do for all of my blog buddies, store friends & twitter followers...it's just a matter of getting some more time in my life. I bid on some time on ebay but lost it at the last second...sigh. I guess I'll just have to click & design faster.
Here is a sneak peek at my August todos list. Check it out...I already have one crossed off and it's not even August yet! It's looking like an exciting month for me 'n' scribbles.
I made my first lightbox in an attempt to capture better pics for you guys. It's so hard to see the brilliant colors and adorable little details on my designs with the lighting and camera I currently have. It's time to change things up and get more continuity and detail in my photos. If you have any suggestions, just let me know...I am ALWAYS up for photo tips!
I promise I will write more!
