Party Mice

Pin It

I could begin by telling you a story about our new friends living in the basement, but I’ll spare you.

These mice are not a brand new creation, but they are a classic. If you haven’t ever seen these – here they are! If you haven’t ever made these – do so. I promise, people will rave and think you are oh-so creative.

Who doesn’t see these and instantly think “aww, how cute”!?

Oh, Peppermint!

You know what I was thinking about the other day?!

Kids always want all their treats to themselves. When I was younger, I would have ate all of my treats, candy, etc. to myself – of course my parents suggested sharing. As adults, the story slightly changes. I still want it all to myself, but instead I gladly hand it off to others. To keep myself from eating it all.  Not to  mention, it truly does feel good to give.

They just have so much personality!

Each one of them. Whether they have a cute face or stink face.

So I couldn’t help but share the photo with you on Facebook before I actually had the directions written up.

But here ya go -

Strawberry Shot Glasses

Strawberry Shot Glasses – Yes, Please!

I found these at this super cute blog, Sweet Tooth. Warning: be prepared to want to bake your heart out for the next week year after visiting her site. I seriously printed out 5 recipes and added them to my Recipes I Must Bake Real Soon queue.

That queue is huge by the way.

I would need to take about a month off of work and straight bake. I’m down for it, anyone else in?  You can come over and be my little taste testers?

That would be sweet. I’ll be taking applications.

In the mean time:
