[@juliethomson8745]

Congratulations to everyone,the winners and everyone who took part!.🎉Such a joy to watch!❤Wish something like this could run all the time as it is good for all our well being,draws every crafter together,helps us to enjoy and watch all the podcasters who are taking part.(Maybe a different podcaster could suggest a make along each time?). Sure we would all enjoy it!❤As the saying goes"Little things are sometimes the best things! "💗 Thanks again Helen for hosting this make along and encouraging us just to create something with our own hands!🤗

[@stanandgill8580]

“Wish something like this could run all the time as it is good for all our well being” You make an excellent point … belonging to a community where you can be creative, inspired and encouraged is essential, especially when life circumstances change and one can feel quite isolated. Helen lovingly and graciously shares her world with us. We are the lucky ones to have Helen in our worlds. And 200+ happy little mice are too 😊

[@mousiemakespod]

Thank you, Julie - it really has been a lovely event, bringing lots of us together and doing something to lift our spirits! 🐭💕

[@ASmileAdayful]

Helen you are an angel, the time it must have taken to put all this together 😮 and what a parade it was, well done to everyone what a mice day😊🐁🎉😘

[@mousiemakespod]

[@mousiemakespod]

Thank you - it's been a lot of fun! 🐭💕

[@karenk380]

I am glad that I do not have to judge the best of show. They were all brilliant👏👏! i really enjoyed seeing how each entry was posed, or dressed, or had fun accessories. Or multiples! How amazing to have so many entries, from far and wide. Thanks for hosting this enjoyable make along. It was really fun to see other podcasters get into the spirit. Rose is beautiful in her ballet costume. Too bad the glitter is spreading itself all over the place. I thought it was so pretty. Seeing Rose rounding up all the mice made me think of the Muppets, where you see her head and she is moving, like a puppet. It was funny. Your music was spot on. Thanks for paying such close attend to all the details. It really made this such a fun video to watch. See you next week. Take care.🤗

[@mousiemakespod]

Thank you, Karen! I know just what you mean about the way the muppets move - Rose was just like that! I've had a couple of suggestions to try spraying the glittery skirt with hair spray so I shall give that a go... I'm glad you enjoyed the jolly music and the general fun of seeing what everyone made - I loved seeing the different settings too. See you next week! 🐭💕

This has been absolutely delightful! Every single mouse is just adorable, and it's easy to see that so much love went into the making. You have done a splendid job, Helen, bravo! Your music was just ideal as well, light-hearted and fun! The statement that Phil made - haha- I think all of us are a bit guilty of similar cheesiness going on in our heads as well! I hope you do this - or something similar - again sometime. Much love from over the pond in Cincinnati.

[@shariwitt1977]

I loved the video of Rose gathering the mice - it deserves an award for sweetest and cutest video.

[@mousiemakespod]

Hi Helen, thank you very much for your mouse parade and for the mouse mal. I enjoyed watching all the different mice. You must have had so much work to put this all together. Well done! I also liked the shot if your mice grouped in front of the screen, ready to watch the mice from all over the world 😂. Every thing was beautifully done, quite professional. Love from Ada ❤

Thank you, Ada - I'm so glad you enjoyed it all! 🐭💕

Hello Helen darling, I was going to suggest hairspray on the sparkles too. You can only try. Absolutely love this one. It was so wonderful to see all the little mice. It was just wonderful. My husband and I sat and we watched it together. We thought it was just so cute. I love taking part that to me was the greatest gift for, I’m so happy for all the winners. I think you did a wonderful job of the actual drawing of the winners. Well done you could never have chosen. They were also wonderful. Lots of love from beautiful Ballarat darling. Keep on being you because you’re absolutely delightful.😘💕🙏🐭🐁

Thank you, Tammy - I'm very glad that you and your husband enjoyed watching together! And I like your philosophy - that taking part was the greatest gift. I definitely couldn't have chosen any winners - a lucky dip was the only way! 🐭💕

Helen what a wonderful show, it’s amazing the amount of crafters entered. I was only sorry I am unable to take part due to RA. I had a very special time seeing the video of all the special mouse makers. Thank you Helen so much.❤ 40:44

Wow Helen. What else can I say. What an amazing collection of mice! Well done everyone and well done you and Phil for putting this all together. I know you enjoyed creating this mal, and how surprised you are at the participation. I’m sure you feel you’ve met your people, all mice lovers unite 🤩. Time for a well deserved rest I think 🤗🥰
