For someone who can't stand mice, I sure do a lot crafty things with them. These mice are made of folded paper hearts...simple! You can find the instructions to make these here. For the tails, I used rick rack instead of lollipops.
A poem for you: Mice I think mice are rather nice Their tails are long, Their faces small, They haven't any chins at all. Their ears are pink, Their teeth are white, They run about the house at night. They nibble things they shouldn't touch, And no one seems to like them much. But I think mice are nice. :) Chasity
At a former job, our boss was deathly afraid of mice. Our dept. got together and cut out miniature pix of Stuart Little and placed them everywhere - taped to his calendar, hidden in files... 5 years later, he said that he was STILL finding them! It's better than finding the real thing...
that poem is a classic! :) i wrote it down in first grade and made a little mouse craft to go with it. {i still have it in my little portfolio} i don't really find mice irresistable. does that make you feel better? chasity
Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places. Surely I have a delightful inheritance. Psalm 16:5-6

A poem for you:
Mice
I think mice are rather nice
Their tails are long,
Their faces small,
They haven't any chins at all.
Their ears are pink,
Their teeth are white,
They run about the house at night.
They nibble things they shouldn't touch,
And no one seems to like them much.
But I think mice are nice.

Chastity,
Disgusting! :)
Fun little craft! Love the rick rack.
