Crankypants Stuff Later

Let me start off by saying that I have Mandy's rainbow Jolly Rogers all done and ready to mail out tomorrow. I am finishing up a bunch of monster bags that I need to photograph as well, so I will post pictures of all that jazz tomorrow.

Second, a bit about the subscribe button. In order to use it you need to use a blog organizer site. I use Bloglines. It is really easy to set up and use and it makes checking my 17 blogs I read daily mush easier because it shows you all at once who has updated instead of checking each individual site. Check it out.

I am so excited to introduce you to a couple of new monster-y friends of mine. They were made just for me by my most favorite monster maker Voz, from Fishcakes . I am planning to make a whole lot of neat gear with these guys so keep an eye out.



This is Fancypants. She is the girly girl of the monster world, but don't let her pink and purple get up and tiara fool you. I have seen her change a tire, reprogram the computer and make Hulk hogan cry- all without wrinkling her tutu.



This dapper fellow is Smartypants. He can often be spotted cleaning his glasses or alphabetizing his massive monster library. He also has an extensive collection of rare vinyl 33s.

They are patiently awaiting the arrival of their little brother Crankypants. He should be along shortly.

Since I am so excited about these guys joining the team I am going to run a little contest. Leave me a comment and complete the sentence "Fancypants loves..." or "Smartypants loves...". You can help construct their personalities. Try to think about it a minute and make sure it fits. It'll be fun! At the end of a week I'll pick a winner who will get one of my new monster bags I've been posting pictures of lately. Come play!

Fancypants loves to go to the opera. However, they don't allow her in anymore. She would "catch the spirit" and dance in the isles. The fat lady didn't sing.

Smartypants loves the weather. In his lightning bowtie and clear as rain glasses, he loves to splash in the puddles. When nobody is looking, he he spikes his hair, and pretends the lightening got him...he's quite the silly monster.

Fancypants loves to fish despite her pink ruffly tutu purple striped leggings. In fact she loves a whole bunch of tom girl like activities but keeps them all a secret with her girly appearance.

Smartypants loves to watch Jeopardy. He sits at his home and answer all the questions before the contestants. He is quite the fountain of useless knowledge. He often finds himself a bit socially abandoned because people are intimated by his pure geniusness (and his rather eclectic choice of clothing)

Fancypants loves being a girl. Who says that tutus and mud don't mix? The most graceful monster you'll ever see covered in dirt. While all the boys swear by thier favorite running shoes, she beats them all in her pretty pink ballerina slippers.

Ok, I am a dork but it seems everytime I have to think up something my head makes it rhyme. It's a sickness...can't wait to see these guys and what you will create with them.

Cha Cha Cha
Fancypants loves to dance
Blues, Rock, or Eminem Rapping
Doesn't matter b/c they all make her toes start tapping.
Now, what you might not know
Scholarly brother isn't always so uptight
Just the other day he was seen
cutting a rug to A Hard Days Night.

Just for fun, Smartypants love to memorize encyclopedias. He has already memorized A-O.

His favorite thing to do on dark, stormy nights is to go into his study and put on a classic album from the 70's, eat a few ice cream sandwiches and read medical books and journals. His secret desire when he was a Little Smartypants was to be a brain surgeon. But alas, only three fingers and no thumb made it impossible for him to hold a scalpel.

Fancypants loves adventure - she has recently gone bungy jumping, which was quite a site in her tutu!

Smartypants loves to read the New York Times and find all of the spelling mistakes. He used to call their editting department to report them, but they no longer take his calls.
