Hi Everyone

I am "Nelson" the sock monkey. I didn't have a chance to pick my own name, Vicki named me after the "Nelson" sock factory that made the socks that I can be created from. The factory in Rockford, IL doesn't exist any longer...but I do and I am here to tell you ...that I love to "monkey around".  One of my favorite things to do is travel...infact my pompons are all coming loose because I have been traveling so much!  Vicki is not familiar with a sewing needle so she told me she was going to glue them on.....GLUE....I wonder how she would like something glued to her!  I am the perfect chaperone for your group tour....well it won't be me...but I will share the instructions with you so you can make your own 'sock monkey'.  Your group could name him/her and then someone would have to carry it around to everything.....because we never want to miss a thing.  We love bringing smiles to everyone that comes in contact with us.  Be sure and take their pictures when they are the chaperones (they would be fun to use in a newsletter).

And make sure they don't leave the chaperone in the bus.....gosh.....would you want to sleep on a bus all by yourself?  I don't think so!  Vicki put some other information and fun things to do below...check it out....I think you will be glad you did....:)

 

And by the way.....I know Vicki would love it if you shared your sock monkey story with her....she would post it here so everyone could enjoy it.  Just email her with your story.
