Good morning everyone .. Happy Sunday to you!
I am so excited about todays Blog post .. all Thanks goes to my friend Karen Gibson who shared with me / us this cute little mousey so Cute that I made 12 right away for my craft show .. I would have made more But ran out of candy canes .. Guess thats on my list for the next shopping trip . I will also have this as one of my projects for my Stampers club-10 #3 meeting on Dec 9th .. So excited about that cause the mousey is so so cute and love that the candy cane is the tail of this cute little mousey…
( Yummy starburst candy canes ) Now the next question is what do I charge for these at my craft show .. My 1st thought would be 2.00 each do you think thats a good price ?
Here is a small grouping of the ones I made so far Mind you I could not get all 12 in this photo so you have to be stuck with seeing 5 for now ..
Who would have ever thought that seeing so many mice at one time would be such a HOOT HUH?
Todays Sunday School Lesson is agbout Daniel and the lions den .YAHOO! and we are coming close to having all my kids learning the New Testament books .. We have been singing a song with the books ..Its so great that they are all singing it w/ the poster as soon as All my kids can sing the New Testament books song w/o the poster and any help we all will be going on a day out to Ceasarland in Royal Oak .. Rewards are so very good for little ones to look forward to But its this song that will stick with them their Whole life Thats whats so awesome and so BIG to wrap my brain around KWIM? My mom has even said she finds herself singing the song when looking for the book durning morning Church service .. I wish I could sing it for you , so very fun and catchy .. The next time you see me ask me to sing it for you, I would be honoured ( believe me when I say You dont want me to give up my day job ..Hee! Hee! cause singing is NOT my forte’ and thats funny since I do the Music for VBS also go figure ) .. So as you can imagine I will stick to stamping as my "Thing" and keep the singing just for my SS kids ( chuckle )….. I feel sorry for the childern that have to hear me sing YIKES!! …

Dawn,

Here’s another ‘ever wonder why’– Why do feet smell and noses run?? I can’t wait to make a mousie at the SC- do we need to bring a candy cane?
I love the post-It holder. What do ou use for the base? I’ve seen people use acrylic frames but yours doesn’t have the sides.
Oh my word, something so simple looks so darn cute! Bound to be a great seller!
