More Candy Please

Bee wings


I'm on a roll. All this isn't stopping. Went shopping today all I could think of was mice, illustrations, and painting. The sky was an amazing grey color. Perfect for the canvas. The housewares at Tuesday Morning had mice scampering upon the tea sets and lamps. The lamp mice were throwing stuff at the tea set mice. The tea set mice were winning. Even the shower curtain section held entrainment for my brain with it's colors and designs. So naturally when I got home I had to pull out more candies and I just let the mice have a ball.

Of course, our little heroine is still in loads of trouble. Thank you to everyone who has sent me such lovely letters about the two little mice. The kind words are very much appreciated. As you can see, Im having a wonderful time with these two.

Candy Hearts

Hearts, paper and hot glue
completed this project....LOL


One pink xeroxed sheet covered with hearts, words divided into two columns with the names of the boys and the girls in the classroom, and candy hearts were placed on the kitchen table tonight from my son's school bag. Memories of Valentine's Day past came rushing in.

Which card would I give to the cute little boy every girl would be giving a card to so he'd know *I* gave him a card? Did he give one to ME? Yes!!! Yes he did!! But, oh wait, everyone got a card from everyone in grade school. But then came high school and that was a different story. Carnations were freely purchased and distributed with sheets of paper attached with the sender's name. Did I get one! YEs! Yes I did….from my friend Amy. We made a pact that we would purchase each other one so we wouldn't feel left out. Every year I got the one flower. So did she.

So now my son gets to go through this school ritual. He seems very excited about purchasing cards and writing everyone's name on each. No girls seem to be getting his attention. Not yet. I'm spared….for now. We had great fun reading the candy hearts tonight too. For the most part they haven't changed much. Well, for the most part they were normal. A few were "odd". Of course, my brain went on overdrive when I viewed them. I ignored this for about two hours and then after my son went to bed I tore through my supplies and just let the mice do as they pleased. I have no control over these two at this point. They have taken over my brain. LOL



He was to be going for her tail but as I was coloring the background a heart came through. No manipulation on this one. I decided not to glue the candy heart to it. The heart that showed up is more special.

No hot glue project would be
complete without a huge glob on the project AND a finger.
This glob got both.






Im still trying to figure these out.
The "hopeless" one will most definitely get chucked
in the garbage. Love is never hopeless. It is always right.
I think the last one needs a decoder ring.
