Eggstravaganza a huge hit

On Saturday, March 15th, Lafayette had their annual Easter egg hunt. This year the Rec Dept added an eggstravaganza in Old Town which was a huge hit, and the weather was beautiful.

Kids got to gather eggs, eat peeps, visit a petting zoo, have their picture taken with the Easter Bunny, along with collecting eggs at local business. Several of the local business' also donated Easter basket to some of the lucky egg hunters.

At The Speckled Goose I handed at approximately 150 eggs, and Haley d Pug had her picture taken with the Easter Bunny. I will get the pic posted soon. She wasn't too sure about it though.

Newsletter has hit the stands at The Speckled Goose

Our March newsletter is completed and posted at The Speckled Goose Newsletter for more happenings at the store.

Tax Time

April 15th is fast approaching. I have read many articles about staying organized, and every year I tell my self that I am going to better next year. It seems that every year I am a little better organized, but not completely.

I always seem to slack off around the holidays and then have to play catch up. I would love to hear about what works for you, and how I can get on track and stay there, even through the holidays.

Spring Cleaning Mode

Anyone else in the spring cleaning mode? I sure am. Look out boys. Garbage man came last week and the dumpster is empty. =)

My booth at Noble Treasures has been totally re-done, along with The Speckled Goose. I even cleaned out my car and got stuff into the garage. No, the garage isn't cleaned out yet. It was too cold in the garage to work in there too much. Yes, that is my excuse and I am sticking to it.

I will get pictures taken this week and get them posted.

New items at The Speckled Goose

Autumn and I have been busy creating some great new items for the store. Autumn is busy working on more dolls, and I have been creating memory albums, and scrapbook calendars along with embellishments.

I am excited about the paper crafts we have in the store, and soon we'll have items for the card makers and scrapbookers. I am in the process of putting together embellishments that you can add to your cards, scrapbook pages, and /or gifts.

I have also updated our website with a lot of new items available on-line or in the store. I would love to know what you think ~ send me an email and let me know.
