Challenge No. 78 ~ A Special Sketch & Blog Hop!

Happy House Mouse Monday!!

And a VERY SPECIAL Monday it is! Today marks the TWO-YEAR anniversary of the House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge blog!! Wooo hooo!

This week's challenge has been brought to us by the lovely Lorraine of the Design Team. Here's Lorraine's fun Sketch for our anniversary celebration!

We're starting the celebration with a special Blog Hop put together by the Design Team. And since we all know mice love cheese, each Design Team member is offering a certain number of cheese pieces for our party!! Hors d'oeuvres anyone?!

We need you to find the TOTAL number of cheese pieces being offered for our celebration! When you visit each Design Team members' blog, you'll want to look for this cutie showing the number of pieces of cheese that member has available . . .

When there's a mouse in the house and there is no cat

He'll find the cheese and that is that!
