Thank you JA Sholar for putting this up, hello fellow Snail mailers.

1. Well, being a successful Business-chimp and ice-cream loving narcissist, I thought it only right to name my shop after me.
2. I sold some dinosaur stationery to a friend in Scotland. Rawr!
3. My Italianate Bluebird www.etsy.com/uk/listing/210577719/birds-stationery-set-italianate is dreamily pretty and swirly.
4. I made a custom 100 sheet Time For Tea Stationery Set for a wedding anniversary which was awesome.
5. I'd love to make more Literary Stationery Sets, Alice, Phileas Fogg and Sherlock aren't enough.
6. I love purple ink!
7. I incrementally grow as time goes by. Always searching for new designs.
8. Not so far, but open to ideas.
9. I - Ickle Monkee - am an Instagram star! www.instagram.com/icklemonkee You should probably follow me 'mmediatelys to see all the fun and high jinks me and my friend Elefant get up to. Also on Facebook and Twitter.
10. I'm still growing slowly, but would love to be about two or three times the size I am now.

Thanks evbodes for reading about me and my shop. Come visit us soon.

1. My daughters had a lemonade stand to raise funds to travel to their uncle's wedding. We decided to try out an Etsy shop to sell our crafty things that didn't fit the lemonade stand, so we used that as our shop name.
2. A mini scrapbooking kit, vintage style
3. That's an impossible question, I've made so many things I love! Scrapbook layouts, cards, snail mail envelopes... Most recently, patchwork crazy quilts.
4. Technically, the quilts, but as far as custom orders, I did a custom new-baby scrapbook that was my biggest Etsy project, time-wise and monetarily.
5. I am a future knitter and would love to knit delicate baby clothes someday.
6. PAPER. Also, ink, rubber stamps, pens, ribbon, fabric.
7. Absolutely. I am always trying to find time to list more items, and I get my inventory up bit by bit, but then a few things sell and I'm back to where I started!
8. I hope to collaborate with artist Katie Berggren on some mermaid stationery. Her paintings are beautiful.

9. I post on Pinterest and in teams a lot. I'd like to figure out more ways to grow my shop.
10. I would be happy getting back up to 2-3 sales a week, or ideally, a sale a day. My shop used to be much busier, but this year has been strangely slow.
