A New Way To Sell Sock Puppets!

Marty Allen

Hi Friends!I'm very excited to try a new system for selling my sock puppets online. Now you simply select the TYPE of puppet you want, and you get one from me in my style! It's like a fun game! Because each puppet is unique, it's very challenging to make them and list each one, so I decided I'd see how this works. Let me know what you think. To start, I've added Unicorns, Monsters, and Goofs - my three most popular styles. But I'm hoping to add dinosaurs, sharks, and aliens soon! How would you like to see the puppets...
