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.

the New Year is upon us

Well the New Year is upon us, and in Colorado we are in the middle of an artic cold front. Yes, it is cold. When I started my car this morning it was -2 and is supposed to be in the 20's today.

John's 8th birthday is this Saturday, January 26th, and we will be spending it in Las Vegas at a Lamb Feeders convention. What you say??? Well ever since John was born, he has been spending his birthday somewhere other than at home. What are you going to do when the convention falls on his birthday every year? He'll be one little guy that can say that he has been . . . on his birthday, and here. . .

My goal for the year is to update The Speckled Goose blog at least weekly. Sometimes it may be about the store, and other times it may be about the ramblings of farm life.
