Well, all the "Monkey" talk I have been hearing has inticed me to make a monkey swap! LOL

Send your partner anything that has to do with monkeys. It can be handmade, store bought, even thrifted! As long as it's in good condition! Think paper crafts, socks, crochet, pillows, plushies, stickers, fabric ... anything as long as it has a monkey on it or is one! You must send a min. of five (5) items! One item must be larger than a bi-fold wallet (unfolded)! :)

There's plenty of time to get this started and have it ready! :D

Disapointers: Anyone under 4.7 will not be in this swap. Those under 4.7 on the day I make the swap active will be dropped.

International swap, so think lite but keep it fun.

A Monkey Swap . . . How cool!!!

My 2 year old does the best monkey imitation of all times! We make her do her monkey imitation before we "let" her eat a banana - it makes eating bananas way more fun! I'll have to sign up for this swap for my 2 year old's sake! Maybe I will send my partner my two year old and a banana wrapped up in a box! You'll have to send the 2 year old back eventually, but you can keep the banana. :)

A bit of monkey trivia . . . Did you know the monkeys at the zoo are on human birth control? Why would that be, I wonder.

WillowTree21 04/ 9/2007 #

LOL ... Texas quilter! I do a pretty good monkey imitation myself .. I can't believe I just told you that! LOL :P

lol .. a cute banana would be ok to swap too! HAHA

Birth control: perhaps so they don't "monkey" around !!! LMBO!! :D

niecedenise 04/ 9/2007 #

I'd rather keep the 2 yr old and send home the USED banana.

ksj1717 04/ 9/2007 #

That's rather a"peel"ing! Okay...this is getting out of control! I am intrigued by this because I just don't recall seeing a lot of "Monkey Business" around here...but, I'm up to a challenge, so I think I'll sign up. I'm now on the lookout for 5 monkey items!

Aerochik 04/ 9/2007 #

Monkey business, I see lots of that with 5 children!! I'll have to pick one item from each of them, they'll have a blast with this one!!!

FunToScrap 04/10/2007 #

I personally have seven monkeys/chimps, all masquerading as people and one dog. So yeah, we have a lot of monkey business here as well. As long as they don't start eating the bugs off each other!

So is this swap for monkeys, chimps, orangutans, gorillas or all of the above. What we think of as monkeys are usually chimps, so I though I would ask.

WillowTree21 04/10/2007 #

lol I have a pic of a "monkey" that isnt long tailed .. I had plans to send it ... lol good question! To define monkey it means: any of various long-tailed primates.

I however, wouldn't mind getting anything that looks cute or funny relating to any primate. I don't see why a "monkeys cousin" can't join in! LOL

anouk 04/11/2007 #

Willow Tree:

Does it have to be " A monkey on it" item?

I found a perfectly cute **** (i don't wanna spoil all the fun and surprise) but it is monkey related.

Heather71 04/11/2007 #

OK I'm going to sign up for it and see what I can find. If I can't find much, I'll drop out. I do quite a good monkey impression myself too.

wolfmom2ac 04/11/2007 #

Anouk;

If what ever you found is something to do with a monkey than yes that would be all right for the swap. Anything that is monkey related!

anouk 04/12/2007 #

wolfmom2ac:

sorry i didn't carefully read the requirements. (got so excited)

the item that has to be larger than a bi-fold wallet (unfolded), is it more or less 20cm long by 9cm large?

WillowTree21 04/12/2007 #

The size of the wallet I have is (unfolded) 10 inch = 25.4 centimeters by 4.5 inch = 11.43 centimeters. It doesnt have to be right on or anything. I was just wanting to make sure people didn't get all tiny things like stickers, is all. The point is to have fun sending something another soul would love to have. Likewise someone would send to you. It can be a monkey plushie or a large card or a necklace with a charm. Just something larger than paper and stickers. Know what I mean?

anouk 04/12/2007 #

got it.

everything is "kipp und klar" what we say in German translated it's clear as daylight.

yeeeeaahhh super monkey!!

Is that just not the cutest! LOVE IT! lol :) That made me smile!

FunToScrap 04/13/2007 #

Okay, I just have to join this swap. Looking around I discovered I am a closet monkey admirer. I couldn't believe the monkey stuff... AND I have new stuff to swap even. So what does that tell you? If you want to include Curious George or Boots from Dora Explorer, I have a 2 year old who would like that. Additionally, I have always wanted a sock money or maybe a sock money kit. HMMMMM... I've heard they are easy, but I have NO idea how to make on and I have never seen those socks with red feet. And I love fabric. Won't this be a hoot! PLEASE post pictures, Friends! I love looking in the galleries. Warmly, Chy

user3051 04/16/2007 #

oh a sock monkey kit would be cool --

I have a Curious George 4 yr old fan here, too

i have some really awesoem moneky stuff sitting here in a box waiting for a buddy to ship to & am beginning on a monkey craft today

on the primate front - i was an anthro student & adore gorillas!!!! orangs, gibbons & chimps (hints hints to my swap buddy)

user5713 04/16/2007 #

candyrage 04/19/2007 #

TexasQuilter1 04/19/2007 #

Ok, I just had to share this!

http://www.care2.com/ecards/build/1/5937

If the link doesn't work, go to www.care2.com, click on ecards, then search for friendship cards. It is the card called "I like you" by Camilla Eriksson

By the way, where are people finding fun monkey things to buy? Any recommendations?

Nathalie 04/20/2007 #

Oh guess what? Both my mom and I were born on Monkey Years too ;)

anouk 04/27/2007 #

alrighty!! I'm almost done, i hope my partner likes silly, goofy, cuty stuff.

alicepalace 04/30/2007 #

If your partner doesn't like silly, goofy, cuty stuff, they're probably in the wrong swap... :)

alicepalace 05/ 8/2007 #

I'm going to Monkey World (in Dorset, UK) in June! Yay! I imagine there's plenty of monkey-themed goodness to be had in their giftshop... :)

CanadianGal72 05/19/2007 #

I love monkeys, but am a newbie! I have sent a few items for swaps but have not been rated yet. I will not let you down if you will allow me to join this swap? Thanks :)
