The SpokesGoat Speaks

In what may be my last spokesgoat performance for a bit (Abby will take over the blog while I take my maternity leave) I would like to show you what the publicist did last night. No, you don't have to run and hide your eyes. Sheesh! This is a family blog!

She made soap! I mean after all, I AM the spokesgoat for Happy Goat Soap. I have to do my work occasionally. I will get some time off when I have the kids and the way they are kicking I suspect it will be any day now. But back to the topic at hand - soap! The publicist was a busy soap maker last night making some old favorites and creating a new scent just in time for summer.

Back in stock will be Sweetgrass which will remind you of that great smell in the air after you mow the lawn and juicy, fresh Strawberry Heaven . Mmmmm, a soap that smells like a bowl full of ripe berries. Don't eat it though, it won't taste good AT ALL. But that yummy scent got the publicist to thinking about hot summer days. What is refreshing on those days? Strawberry lemonade! That's right. She made soap that smells like strawberry lemonade. Oooh, it's light and refreshing with the rich smell of those berries topped by the bright, crisp addition of tart lemon. What could be better?

All the beautiful soaps are curing and will be available in a month. The publicist is going to make more soap this week with some friends that want to learn how to make soap. That should be lots of fun.

One more thing for today; I want to do something I haven't done in quite a while. Bestow the Coveted Scratch of the Tail Award! That's right - to GypsyMoonDesigns a fellow Montanan. She created a beautiful treasury and included the Pricilla soap! GypsyMoon makes beautiful jewelry like this necklace. I know it would look wonderful against my fur! So enjoy your award while I enjoy my scratch!

Coveted Scratch of the Tail Awards

I have not granted my Coveted Scratch of the Tail Award in a bit so I am pleased today to bestow it upon the following people for listing my rich soap in their beautiful Treasuries on etsy;

First to AudreysCountryCrafts her beautiful list is full of a variety of sweet smelling soaps and she chose my Maaaaasssage Bar Scented with Spicy Lemon Rose to feature. Her shop is full of the cutest country crafts I have seen. I think this would be a great tribute to the chickens that will soon be here on the Farm.

The second offering comes from thedryingrack, a shop full of the CUTEST needle felted items EVER. I just love these - they are in my favorite color, PINK. This list features my Sea Urchin Soap - uncented. A great choice for those of you who don't like scented soaps.

So I thank both of you and hope you like your award.

Coveted Scratch of the Tail Award

Wowzers! New treasuries opened and nice etsy folk have again featured my soaps!

My very popular Sea Urchin soap was in a list curated by eclipse. Her shop is lots of fun to browse through. I think that if I wore this I might not be as cold. I also might buy this and put it in Michael's pen - it might take some of the stink away but I doubt it. There is no hope of taking Michael's stink away - he is a buck.

The second list comes courtesy of another Montanan - AsianExpressions. Uyen has been kind enough to feature me before and I thank her again for showing my Rich Goat's Milk Soap Scented with Sandalwood. I wrote about her beautiful kimonos before but they are worth mentioning again. I still would like to have this for my goat house. But Abigail would probably eat it!

The Coveted Scratch of the Tail Award

Hooray! I am so excited. Again. I think people are getting excited about the Coveted Scratch of the Tail Award. Our publicist found our soap in two treasuries last night so it is my great honor to bestow the award on:

MemoriestoYou for this list full of soapy treasures. She featured our Maaaaaaassage Bar Scented with Cherry Cordial amonst all the other lovely bath and beauty products. Her shop is full of pretty memory boards in all different shapes and sizes. I think this one would look good in my goat house. What do you think?

The second list was made by that Treasury Queen of the Big Sky Montana Team, Judy Elizabeth of JudyElizabethsFlock. She makes the most adorable soft sculpture lambs. She picked the Herd of Goats listing which shows an adorable photo of Michael and Sarah when they were kids. I think Judy Elizabeth is trying to wallpaper her house with her awards.

Coveted Scratch of the Tail Award

Oh boy! Time to present The Coveted Scratch of the Tail Award. This is what makes my job as spokesgoat so much fun; I love giving out this award.

I learned of a sea urchin themed treasury curated by mmarielle She creates beautiful bottles, urns and amphorae but I think my favorite is this. The problem is, I would probably eat any flowers placed in it! So please visit the list and check out the beautiful shop. You will love what you see.

My Abby and Nora soap in the Strawberry Heaven scent is in a colorful list from the Treasury Queen of the Big Sky Montana Team - Judy Elizabeth from JudyElizabethsFlock. I am sure you remember reading about her adorable soft sculpture lambs in this post. Her shop is chock full of adorable lambs.

A big THANK YOU to both curators for thinking of me when they made their lists.

ANOTHER Coveted Scratch of the Tail Award

Wow! I think it is working; our Award is so coveted new Treasuries are popping up! This new one is by the uber-talented Natalie at Humblebea she has been gracious enough to include us in one of her Treasuries in the past but this was before we instituted the Coveted Scratch of the Tail Award. So technically this is her first one. She has included our A Pet for the Goats Soap in her beautiful list.

Natalie is the artist behind the papier mache sculptures in our soap listings but she also makes so many other beautiful items like these; I think they would look wonderful in my fur.

So we thank you Natalie and hope you like your award!

Coveted Scratch of the Tail Award

I was browsing through the Treasury lists and found one created by Twinklefish that features our Sea Urchin Soap. It is a lovely list that features items from the sea. So of course this means (insert TA DA here) that I am awarding Twinklefish my Coveted Scratch of the Tail Award!

Her shop has a lovely assortment of jewelry items including this necklace that I think would look lovely on me. Well, if it could be extended, of course.

So thank you Twinklefish - we really appreciate it!

Winning is Fun!

I just love it when I win things. Now for me winning is as simple as not having to spend too much time with Abigail, but for you winning is as wonderful as three bars of Happy Goat Soap. I am sure you recall this post when I told you about the delightful interview my publicist did at the SimplyShiny blog. With the interview we offered a great prize; three bars of Happy Goat Soap and a wooden soap dish! The big drawing happened yesterday and a winner has been chosen.

Drum roll please!


AbbaDabbaBags has won the soap! Hooray! I wonder which soaps she will choose? She has a lovely shop on etsy where you will find lots of pretty bags in many different styles.

At this time I want to give SimplyShiny our Coveted Scratch of the Tail Award for featuring us on her blog and for providing the opportunity for such a cool giveaway. Be sure to check out her blog on a regular basis as she writes about so many interesting topics. Even a goat finds them fascinating. She also makes really pretty jewelry that you will find in her ShinyAdornments shop on etsy. Do you think if I pierced my ears these would look good on me?
