Question re Easter Peek-a-Boo egg ornaments

[Barb Harris Melton]

In 2002 and 2003 Hallmark issued Easter/Spring Peek-a-Book egg ornaments. I'd like to know if the 2003 are re-issues of the 2002 except with different "shell" colors. I can't find pictures big enough to tell if the insides are the same but from what I can see, they look to be identical. That and any other info would be great. Thanks!

Good question Barb,

The only differences between the 2002 and 2003 Peek-a-Boo Eggs are the outside shell colors and the ornament names.

The scenes inside the three 2002 eggs were repeated in the three 2003 eggs.
2002 Bunny Business = 2003 Egg Hunt Hoppers
2002 Easter Egg-spress = 2003 Wheely Wonderful Easter
2002 Spring Peepers - 2003 Peep-a-Boo Chicks

It's a shame Hallmark took a "short cut" on the 03 eggs... we all would have liked to have had something "new" to "peek" at!

Could you please note which year used which color so that we have all the info together? Thanks much in advance!

Thanks Rhonda for the pictures of the 2002 & 2003 Easter/Spring Peep-a-Boo Eggs!

Claudia, that was a good question!

Rhonda, thank you for both the info and the pix!

They are beee-u-tiful ornaments (even if they are resin). And yes it is too bad that Hallmark shortcutted (is tht a word?). I'd love to have six different eggs to enjoy. They make me smile!
