Please stop by this weekend and check out our ch-ch-ch-changes!

Monkey & Scooter is doing some spring cleaning! There are going to be some new blogs in town, each one covering a different area of interest! I guess you could say Monkey & Scooter will be the jukebox to hold all the records--you pick which one you want to play, or play all of them. And it's free!

Monkey & Scooter will no longer have "pages." instead it will just have links in the sidebar to each of the blogs.  I am really excited about this new look. 

Two of the new sites opened yesterday. I hope you will come back regularly and check out new items and articles as I share them.

Bell Bottom Blues is all about denim, just denim.  Such a wonderfully versatile fabric and those old jeans (stained, torn, tattered, splattered, worn) are meant to be repurposed and recycled! Share your ideas and find out what others are doing with theirs! This blogspot started off with a call for your input, a contest. Please comment with your favorite way to repurpose a pair of jeans.  

For Your Love is the home of Monkey & Scooter's stationery items---greeting cards, invitations, announcements, bookmarks, journals, etc. Slowly, but surely, the items from Monkey & Scooter will be transferred to For Your Love and lots of new ideas will be shared, as well. 

(Update 4/27 Every Little Thing is now up and running, in time for graduation, teacher appreciation and Mother's Day)
Every Little Thing is the new home of Monkey & Scooter's gift items--unique ornaments, purses, and other very special items handcrafted for very special people and very special events.

Hopefully, most of these will also be "playing" by the weekend:
