Recycled Mouse Valentine (DIY)

Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Caroll has long been a favorite book and movie of mine.  

I just really love the nonsense of it.

Tea Cup Candles ~ Mother's Day Gift

Whenever I give someone a handmade gift, I always deal with a little fear that the receiver will think I'm just cheap.  Now, I don't want to sound conceited, but I am good at making things, and I even have a college degree in it.  Of course, that doesn't mean much when someone opens a box from me and says, "Oh, great...you made this.  What is it made out of, did you say trash?  Gee...thanks, I feel so....special."
