Sometimes the simplest projects are the best projects. That’s how I feel about our storybook stairs.
When I was taking down the mice from our Halloween stairs, I remembered the Christmas mice that Sarah created at Thrifty Decor Chick. Then, I thought of this line from “The Night Before Christmas.” Inspiration struck. I simply cut the words from black card stock on my Silhouette and attached to the stairs with rolled tape. The letters aren’t perfect and even a little wonky. But I’m happy with them. The plan was to include lots of the mice with bows. Unfortunately, I have misplaced the entire bag of paper mice from Halloween. Yes. That was only a month ago. I put them somewhere where I wouldn’t forget about them. I know I’ll find them in January.
I could only find the one lonely mouse, but I think it still looks cute. If I come across the bag of paper mice, I’ll add a few more.
What do you think of my little storybook staircase?

What a fun and creative idea! Perfect for those stairs. I can see this turning into a tradition that your kids will beg for every year. (With or without the other mice.)

Shannon says
I think this is the cutest thing ever. And although I’m sad about your memory loss, I’m sort of content with just the one mouse. Because honestly, come Halloween, I won’t be admiring your stairs, I’m squeamish with the rodents, even paper ones.
So I think I need a silhouette? Yes.
Pickled Alice says

Emily says
Super cute. This is the kind of thing that separates the men from the boys…er, the Kims from the Emilys in holiday spirit. You are my inspiration to think a little less about how long it will take to put away Christmas when I’m putting it up…why am I such a grinch? ๐
