Monkey Business - Giveaway

I am after some help as I am about to set up an online shop for my Sock Monkey Business and have been rattling round a few ideas for names. It is difficult to try and get original names that are not already in use in one form or another!
I have decided to run a giveaway for whoever comes up with the best name and the one that I will actually use!!

The Giveaway will include a selection of prizes, that includes Jewellery and other goodies!
The name I am after needs to incorporate other sock creatures as I will be having a go at some other styles!!
If I use another name I will put entries into a hat to decide a winner for the giveaway!!
Entries need to be in by Sunday 16th August and I will annouce the Winner on Monday 17th!!

This is my latest creation!! She is a Lanky Pink Streak Monkey and is very rare in the UK!!

Name My Monkey - Blog Giveaway

A While ago I bought my daughter a sock monkey from Lilyola, when Crafter..oo did the Comic relief shop on Folksy. My Daughter asked me to make a friend for Samantha and I finally got round to it today!!

Here she is............

Thing is I cannot decide a name and neither can my daughter, so I thought I will run a giveaway.......not for the monkey but for a surprise gift.

Please leave a comment and a name suggestion for the Non striped Monkey to Enter for a chance to win!!

Samantha the sock monkey and ?????????

I will put all names into a hat on Sunday 17th May and announce the winner!

Please make sure all names are unique!!

Good luck!!

I have taken some time away as I had computer problems and then the kids were off school for half term. We went to Camelot and spent a night in the hotel there. It was good, but soo soo cold!!
