~Part of our Easter Parade Feature~

Gosh, how has the Lenten season gone by so quickly? I can't believe Easter is just about a week away and we will be heading to church and spending the day with our family. My children are extremely lucky to blessed with loving family that give plenty of Easter surprises. The Easter Bunny doesn't bring a lot for our kids, they each get a few prized possessions in their basket before church, and I try my hardest to make sure they are getting something fun and different. One place I often use to browse for fun and different is-ETSY!

I recently was introduced to a great, unique store on Etsy that specializes in invitations, announcements, and SOCK MONKEYS! As You Wish Creations was started by a stay-at-home mom, Lynda, who was talented enough to try her hand at creating for others. She only recently joined Etsy and has 100% positive feedback and her Facebook page has tons of "likes" so she must be doing something right!

Lynda is so professional to work with. She kept me super informed throughout every step of working together. You can tell how much she loves doing what she is doing, and getting a chance to try out new ideas for her customers. We communicated many times and each interaction was great, I highly recommend Lynda and her work!

Lynda from As You Wish Creations sent us a very fun little guy for B, it was her first time making this specific type and we are happy she chose us to break him in. Our sock monkey arrived within about 2 weeks from his creation date.

Here is our package from As You Wish Creations

 Lynda included a lovely hand written note and a safely packaged sock monkey. 

 As You Wish Creations tag with all of Lynda's information, another great touch.

B was so excited to get him out of the package and love on him.

Meet Pirate Jack

Pirate Jack is about 19.5" from red skull cap to peg leg, with a tail that is about 14". He has a red skull cap, eye patch, mischievous grin, a bag of pirate loot, sword, hook hand, and of course a peg leg. This guy is a true pirate! My favorite part is his little peg leg, what a fun idea to make him as realistic as possible, and his mischievous grin makes you wonder what sort of piratey things he has been up to lately.

Pirate Jack is really soft and squishy, thanks to his fiberfill stuffing. Lynda does partial machine and partial hand stitching, with double stitching done on the hand portion for extra durability. His craftsmanship is well done and will withstand many more future hugs and snuggles.

As You Wish Creations offers such a huge assortment of designs, colors, and characters to love! They are all Made To Order, which means Lynda will really take her time to personalize your sock monkey and make it wonderful for you and your family. Prices range from around $10 up to about $40, depending on size and details.
