Apologies to Clement C. Moore

Wanted to make a mouse with ornament punch for face and butterfly punch for ears

Problem:  couldn't get his face the way I wanted
Solution:  resorted to the open mouth idea like the singing reindeers I have seen  (Here is one example.) 

Problem:  his body was too short and too wide to hold a song book but needed to convey "Christmas"
Solution:  red and white scarf

Problem:  he needed something in his hand

Solution:  thought of the line from the famous Night Before Christmas poem  "not a creature was stirring not even a mouse" so I HAD to make this one STIR . Thus, I added a wooden spoon and mixing bowl.

Problem:  What could I do with him?
Solution:   recipe page

Problem: I have nothing else I want to say about him

Solution: stop typing and show a close up.
