Oh My Gluestick

Oh my word! I mean gluestick.  I set about to find a great theme for my precious one-year-old’s birthday.  Having three boys, we have already had a whole lot of great boy parties to date.  But, I wanted something special for #3, yet something still “baby-ish”.  As I perused the Internet, I decided a monkey party would be fun.  Then, I landed on Oh My Gluestick’s Sock Monkey Party page and my decision was made.  #3 would have a Sock Monkey Party!  Not only are sock monkeys cute, but my husband’s “lovey” as a child was his sock monkey.  He carried it over his shoulder by the tail, thus why the poor monkey’s tail is 2 feet long.  I knew my husband would love the idea as well.

When I contacted Tommie, at Oh My Gluestick, she was wonderful to work with.  I found a card I liked and she worked with me on customizing it and “Voila!!”  Her cards are darling…even beyond the Sock Monkey theme.  The best part was that she sent me the PDF and I had it printed myself.  No worrying about shipping and arriving on time…especially since I was already running late with getting the invitations out. You just order from her Etsy shop and a couple days later, your design is in your inbox.  What a breeze!  It just might have been my easiest invitations, yet.  Not only does she make cute invitations, but all the accessories to go along with a great party…party hats, thank-you notes and more!

More exciting to me is that Oh My Gluestick is based in the Houston, Texas area.  On September 11, 18, and 25th, she will be at Arts in the Park in The Woodlands, Creekside with all her cute things.  If you are local, come out and support her and all the local artists!

Just because I worked hard on my Sock Monkey cake, inspired by Oh My Gluestick, I am sharing it with you here…

The things I make myself do!  I can appreciate a good challenge, but sometimes things are just out of my reach.  This one was borderline, but I feel a sense of accomplishment.  At least it’s identifiable…right?
