One Lucky Ducky

Well I said a lot was going on behind the scenes, and I truly did mean with Lucky Ducky, but also with our family. I am proud to announce the arrival of Cooper Jackson Grau! He was born on April 22nd (my dad’s birthday!) weighing 8 lb, 1 oz and 20 inches long. We are all thrilled beyond belief and adjusting to sleepless nights and our new family schedule (what schedule!) So yes things are a bit hectic now, but I hope to be back here more regularly soon.

Wow, that was a long break. We have had a lot going on behind the scenes at Lucky Ducky Designs and unfortunately the blog has suffered. Hopefully, I can fill you all in on it very soon. But I had to stop in and let you know that if the stars align, Lucky Ducky Designs will be at the Indy Baby Expo this weekend. If you are in the Indianapolis area, stop by the Ag/Hort Building at the State Fairgrounds from 10 to 6 on Sat the 26th or Sun the 27th. We are in booth #226. There is a $5 admission fee but contact me and I’ll forward a $1 discount coupon to you.

I hope to see you there!

Congrats to Julie with lucky comment #13 which was chosen randomly as our winner:

i love the bubble blast apron! i tend to wear a lot of darker colors and this would look so cute and bring lots of color to my outfit! it’s like a part of an outfit, whether intentional or not!

Thanks to all who commented. I may have to do more giveaways like this - I loved reading your comments!

Happy Valentine’s Day to all!

How would you like a special gift from us for Valentine’s Day? We want to give one lucky reader a Lucky Ducky Designs Hostess Apron! To enter, just leave a comment here by February 13th letting us know which apron you would like, and we will randomly choose one lucky commenter to receive their choice of hostess apron. There are some rules - only one comment per person and you must live in the US. The winner will be chosen and notified by e-mail on Valentine’s day.

Check out our hostess aprons here and let us know what you think!

The site is back up, glitch has been fixed.  Go Shopping!
Now to take a few deep breaths and get back to what I had originally planned for today. . .

Woke up this morning all happy and I check the store and it’s down.  Aw fudge.  We are working to get it back up and hopefully it’s just a minor glitch.  H.O.P.E.F.U.L.L.Y!!!

I think it may be a long day. . .

Happy New Year everyone! How was that for a break. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. My head is full of all sorts of posts to get you up to speed, but I thought I would start with the important one. I really want to make room for some new fabrics so can you help a girl out? I’ve marked almost all sale items down to 50% off (usually 25%). The only items there not 50% are the Mom’s Ultimate Gift set since the diaper bag isn’t marked down.

So go check it out. Some fabrics are down to the last items so once they are gone, they are gone for good!

Need more convincing? How about FREE SHIPPING? Use the code freeshipnew at checkout and you can save a few more bucks. But hurry up - both specials are only through the end of the month. Come February, I’ll need to come up with some more reasons for you to check us out (how about high quality, excellent service and the best fabric selection around, just to name a few). But you knew all of that already.

Happy Shopping!

Hi everyone! I didn’t mean to be away so long - honest! Things have just been crazy busy here - thank you all for showing your Lucky Ducky love!!! I truly appreciate each and every one of you.

I thought it was high time to let everyone know the holiday schedule at the shop - you know shipping deadlines and such, so here it is:

So that’s the quick news I wanted to get out. Hopefully, I will get a chance to get back on here to update with some of the goings on in our life. We are supposed to get a big storm this weekend. Of course, Scott’s Christmas party is tomorrow night and it sounds like we’ll have to miss it. Darn, I even found a dress I liked for it. But I think I’m ready for a day or two of snuggling in, fires in the fireplace and FINALLY decorating the tree we cut last weekend. It’s about time isn’t it?

Have a great weekend!

We wanted to help everyone get ready for the holidays in two ways:

First, we want to offer a gift to you! Shop at Lucky Ducky Designs and get 25% off your total purchase (including sale items!)! Just use the code holly25 at checkout. This discount is good through Sunday, December 9th, so hurry and take advantage of the savings!
