Sock Monkeys...

Tall Girl has a pen pal from Japan. She is a little younger, but they have similar interests so that is fun for the both of them. The girl is an American living in Japan. I met the mother through a homeschooling forum that I am a member of. We have tried a pen pal before, but it wasn't successful on either occasion. So far this one is going great and they both seem to enjoy it.

Her pen pal recently sent a package in the mail. It was full of snacks and candies that the girl likes. Tall Girl was super excited. In fact, that was one of the reasons we searched out the asian market here in town so that we could purchase more of the treats.

In one of the letters it was written that she collects sock monkeys. I mentioned that maybe we could make her one. The idea was pretty well received so I set about trying to find some cute socks to use.

We spent this weekend on it and got it completed yesterday. Tomorrow we'll mail it off to Japan. We hope she likes it! Oh and after the last pic was taken, we added a few cute touches to her.
