I am an Entrepreneur!!!
Today’s Fortune: Your money worries are over! Your new job will bring you a huge increase in income.
This fortune could not be better timed! I am now an “entrepreneur.” That means I have started a new business. I am glad I have had business cards for a while, now, because they will probably come in handy.
Just before Christmas, Mom let me make sock monkey magnets to send to all of our Ravelry and sock monkey friends. I made a whole fridge full of them, and they turned out really good.
After mailing out all of my Christmas cards, I had some extras, and they have just been stuck on the side of the filing cabinet in Mom’s office. Mom has been making all kinds of good stuff for her Etsy shop.
She has made lots of beads, stitch markers, and hand-dyed sock yarn, and she made a bunch of really fun hand-painted sock monkey tote bags, that me and Dharma really like.
This gave me a great idea!! I asked Mom if I could sell my extra magnets in her Etsy shop, and she said that would be a fine idea. This is a very good thing, because I still only get 12 quarters a week for my allowance, and selling magnets will greatly improve my ability to add Pezzes to my collection.
I am selling my magents in sets of three. I only have two sets for sale, because I only had six extra magnets, but Mom says I can make more if I need to. Here is a link to one of my listings, if you want to check it out!
Mom also printed out a bunch of good cards with pictures of me and Puglet and Dharma doing fun stuff. I am going to use these as “Thank You” cards to put in with the packages when somebody buys stuff from me, and I will also send them one of my business cards. It is important to say “Thank You” when somebody appreciates your hard work enough to buy it. That is called “good customer service.” We like good customer service, and we know others do, too.
Another added bonus of having my own cards is that when I want to send a card to somebody, I don’t have to go shopping for one. I can just send a picture of me that will make somebody smile.
Being an entrepreneur is hard work. But it will be worth it, if I can supplement my allowance. There are a lot of Pezzes out there that I don’t have yet.

Hi Noah,
The bags and magnets are fantastic! I am so proud to be the owner of original works of art by you and your mom. The greeting cards are a lovely addition, and I think you’re going to be a very successful sock entrepreneur!
XOXO

I love your products. I just added you to my favorite sellers on Etsy.

Hi, Big Monkey!
Thanks for the good wishes! I hope I am successful. 12 quarters a week does not buy many Pezzes. I am really glad that you got one of my original magnets, and we are really pleased that Laura likes her sock monkey tote!
Love, Noah

You have a monkey business! How much fun will that be, Noah? I hope you’re able to sell your magnets and then make more. It’s always good to have a product that is in demand. Best wishes on a successful business.

I am crazy about the cards!!!!
Miss you Dharma. Hope you are having a lot of fun with Auntie Kathy & Uncle Jeff. We haven’t seen much of Uncle Phil though. Hope he is not suffering from too many Big Truck Tacos.
Love

Hi, Auntie Brenda!!!
Dharma is missing you, too… It is weird to be homesick when you are having a good time. We got to see Uncle Phil last night at BTT, and Mom took a picture of Dharma with him. I will blog about it later this week. We got to go to a park yesterday and we had lots of fun! Wait ’til you see me riding a motorcycle!
Love, Noah

Hi there, Noah!
I was thrilled to find a huge box at my doorstep today. One bag has already been delivered to a very special friend and her monkey pal, J-Lo Rose. It was just in time for her birthday – woot!!! I’m keeping the brown and red – LOVE IT – and so does Oliver. My mom will be the happy recipient of the blue and the last is meant for another buddy who has a b-day next month. I love your mom’s workmanship and delightful patterns/color choices. I’m so glad I found your site!
…and WOW… fast delivery! Did you bribe the post office????
Love the card, too. Great touch!
