Sunday Snapshot - the Great Mousey Hunt

For those of you who have been reading my blog for a while might remember this Sunday Snapshot

It is all about Lizzie's little pink Mousey, her beloved friend, her comfort, her lovey, her first connection to the love of a family and how that connection was one day lost.  With that post, I began the great Mousey Hunt and was overwhelmed by the response I got and the amazing amount of you who searched and searched for Lizzie's Mousey.  I received helpful sites to check.  I received pictures of similar Mouseys that were found through your own Internet searches.  I know how crazy life can get and how hard it is to just keep up with emails and blogs and schedules and, and, and!  I was deeply touched by the outpouring of help and ideas and even an offer to make another Mousey for my sweet girl!  Really, ya'll are too much!!  Thank you!

Well, I have to tell you that through one of the sites that one of my readers sent me, here, a wonderful site to find all lost loveys, I found THIS...


MOUSEY!!!!!!!!!  Oh Mousey!!!!  How your little Lizzie has missed you and now we have an hour to wait!!!!  An hour to know if you will once again be in Lizzie's arms.  This is a listing on Ebay and we have one hour to go!!!  There are already 7 bids but watch out cause there is a Momma bear ready to pounce at the very last second!!!!!  Say a little prayer that Mousey will return and check back!  I will update after I win or (sniff sniff) loose!!!!

Edited to add - Heartbroken again.  Sigh.  Out bid at the last second.  I have contacted the seller and asked that she contact the buyer.  Can it mean as much to them?  I am hoping not.

  1. Oh, you don't know how thrilled I am that the site led you to (hopefully) a reunion! YEAH! Be sure to let me know. I will grin from ear to ear.

  2. Oh Annie...I know EXACTLY how you feel. A few years ago Kaylin needed another one of her snuggle bunnies and she, too, only had one of them. Well, I was on THE HUNT...just like you! And I not only found one but 3 of them!! My hubby thought I was crazy (just a bit), but I knew we needed to get them. This past summer, Kaylin, even allowed me to put her first lovey bunny in the cedar chest. She was so thread bare after 4 years that I was afraid there wouldn't be much left very soon. :)

    Can't wait to hear that momma bear brought back the catch!! :)

  5. Oh, Annie, I wish I had known you were bidding on a Mousey! Use esnipe.com next time. It lets you bid absolutely as high as you would want to bid at the last second without anyone knowing that your bid is about to be entered.

    Praying that the Mousey buyer has a compassionate heart.
