Monkey House

About Me

Hi! I'm the MONKEY HOUSE , an eBay store devoted to making interesting and beautiful items available to the arts and crafts community and to DIY lovers everywhere! I want to be a stopping place for artists and crafters of all kinds. Right now, we carry supplies that would be great for:
    Oil Painting Scrapbooking Collage Altered Art Altered Books Decoupage Rubber Stamping Card Making Artist Trading Cards (ATC's) ANY kind of Papercraft! MORE TO COME!!!
Just to name a few items, we carry ink pads, embellishments, stickers, pigment markers, craft scissors, Bob Ross paints, paint brushes, embossing powders and fibers!
We are just getting started, but we've got lots of ideas for great items to help make your projects look extra special! Hopefully, you'll even see some items cropping up soon that are Monkey House exclusives, invented or created by my owners. Right now, we're really more about the "Hobby" of Monkey House Hobby and Home, but that definitely won't always be the case.
Between my two owners, I bring over 27 years of cumulative obsession with various arts and craft techniques to this new store, so I know what's important to other crafters. In fact, Mitch and Jenny actually met and fell in love indirectly because of their mutual obsession with rubber stamp carving!I've also got years and years of good Customer Service under my belt, so even though I may seem like just a little monkey, you'll know that making sure my customers are happy will always be my number one priority.
Oh, and one more thing....don't hesitate to ADD US as your friend! We hope to offer exclusive deals, available only to our MySpace Friends soon!!.. ..

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Other monkeys, people into scrapbooking, people into papercrafts like decoupage, collage and card making. Rubber stamp enthusiasts.
