All these samples are just the cutest ever. What a cute sketch! I will just have to find the time to play along!!!

Hmmmm....some of the cheese's were kind of hard to read, but I believe the number of cheese bits I ate was...71. Thanks again, have a wonderful 2nd Anniversary!
Congrats on 2 fabulous years! I loved the hop! I am so keeping my fingers crossed for this awesome prize! I found seventy-one (71) pieces of cheese! That should keep the mice fed for a while!

I am unable to leave a comment on Heather's blog. Either no comment box comes up, or I get a message that the service is unavailable. What should I do?
Loved all the cards in the hop. I found 71 pieces of cheese along the way. Now to make a card.
Fun Sketch and fun Hop! My count is on my post.
What a fun blog hop! Loved everyone's cards! Is this where we post the number of cheeses that we counted?
I counted 71 pieces of cheese!

I can't wait to create with this awesome sketch! I got so full with 71 pieces of cheese! I have to take a nap now!
Here is my small contribution to this week's challenge.
So wonderful Dt cards.
Been looking around for pieces of cheese and if I'm not starting completely crazy, so it should be 81 scrumptious pieces of cheese.
I hope that I'm the lucky winner!
I really love House Mouse stamps & would like to add some to my collection ...
Hugs & wish for a wonderful week
Wow, what a fabulous Hop and such a talented DT!
Unfortunately I don't have any HM stamps so I can't join in with the sketch, but I've hopped and counted and came up with 71 pieces of cheese!
Oh my!! what a fab hop that was, I've nibbled my way through 71 pieces of cheese and every little bite was fantastic. Thank goodness they were calorie free.

There are 71 cheeses (I hope) - thanks for the fun. I haven't got many House Mouse so don't join in as much as I would like but I always look at the amazing DT work.

Happy Anniversary!

Awesome cards by the very talented DT!
I counted 71 pieces - I'll be the first to throw it out there... don't the rest of you copy me now! Posted my card up above, even though it's a poor attempt at the sketch... I had such a hard time with this one for some reason!
Too many embellishments for my busy focal panel, I think. Oh well...
Oh yeah! I used the Wishin' Well stamp I won from Sue as a prize here a few months ago - thanks so much!!
This is just the BEST. What a beautiful blog this is and how much pleasure it gives to follow it.
Really enjoyed seeing all those gorgeous creations. Have entered mine and my number is 71.
Pinky
Is this where we leave how many cheeses?
Okay, I don't see my last comment so here is my cheese guess: 71
I just posted "Singing in the Rain", my replacement entry for Tumble Wreath, which was disqualified. If you could just delete Tumble Wreath (#1), I hope to be in the running again. Thank you!
I found 71 numbers of pieces!
Oh yeah - the blog hop was so great! I have seen so many beautiful cards on the blogs - very very nice.
Hugs Tini
Ok so I'm told this comment won't show my answer as to how many cheese pieces I counted up so here is the # I came up with 71.
Thanks Bonnie
This was a very fun challenge - I am not sure where I leave my answer for the cheese - but I counted 71 in total. It was lots of fun blog hopping to find all the pieces and to see everyone's work!!
I have enjoyed the blog hop....the DT has made some fabulous cards....I counted 71 pieces of cheese....

What a fun blog hop! I had to double check the hop and my cheese niblets as I thought you were being tricky and the total would equal the challenge number. But, I came up with 71 both times, so I'm sticking to it. Now just to get my card done and linked before the end of the challenge. WaHOO!!!
Gorgeous Hop! I counted (I hope correctly) 71 pieces of cheese... some of the last mice were very greedy!! I have a few things to do now, but will try and get a card made very soon! Gorgeous sketch

71 cheese pieces
I'm (Lori) typing while Natalie is the card maker on this challenge. So, some of the blogs have her name but a few I couldn't leave a separate name/URL, so it has my name. Then, being silly as I am, I put my family blog address on some instead of my craft one! OOPS! She'll be posting her card in the morning. Thanks for the fun blog hop!
Happy Birthday House Mouse challenge. I'm off to hop!
