This and that on a Tuesday

Before I can begin this post I have to tell you how *totally blown away* I am by the Children's Literature tins. Wow. They are incredibly creative, beautifully photographed, loads of fun, extremely clever, hands on and use so many classic books. Sigh. I might be speechless. Take some time to click the links and check out the time, care and energy that went into making these exceptional muffin tins. Hey, leave a comment while you're at it. Really. You'll want to anyway. They are just *that* awesome. Trust me.

My girls were elated to each receive their OWN package from their Auntie Em. Strawberry Shortcake dolls that were taken to the beauty shop and spruced up with oodles of hair goodies. Hello Kitty Pocky Sticks (are you kidding me?!) that were used as shakers. They'll get to eat them soon, don't worry. And cute Hello Kitty pants that were immediately put on. Yeah, pretty much their best day ever. Thanks Auntie!

Muffin Tin Monday - Children's Literature

Let's see 'em! I'm so excited I can hardly stand it.

My tin is based on Mouse Mess by Linnia Riley. It is a charming story of a mouse who creates quite a mess snacking his way through the kitchen. Funny that my girls had no problem doing the same after their lunch and I'm pretty sure they're not mice. See for yourself ~

"Sticky gooey jam to spread with peanut butter smeared on bread."

"Olives, pickles, catsup fun! Pop the tops off one by one."

"Crunch-crunch, he wants a cracker. Munch-munch, a cookie snacker."

Contents: Jam, bread, pretzel sticks, apple, peanut butter, Ritz, pickles, Swiss cheese, olives, mini Oreos, Corn Flakes, cheddar cheese. "Mice"- marshmallows, mini chocolate chips, pretzel sticks, slivered almonds

"Who made this awful mess? asks Mouse. These people need to clean their house!"
