HAVE YOU BEEN WAITING AS LONG AS I HAVE BEEN FOR THE 'MAD TEA PARTY' YES?

I ALWAYS LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR WHEN MAGICAL MISS VANESSA VALENCIA HOSTS THE 'MAD TEA PARTY' ON HER BLOG 'A FANCIFUL TWIST' !!!!

YAY!

WITHOUT MUCH FURTHER ADO, LET US BEGIN ON OUR JOURNEY OF WONDERLAND.

COME WITH ME AS I OPEN THE PAGES OF 'ALICE IN WONDERLAND AND THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS' BY LEWIS CARROLL....

IT WAS A VERY SUNNY DAY WHEN ALICE BEGAN READING ABOUT HERSELF IN A CURIOUS BOOK. SHE BEGAN TO FALL ASLEEP AND WAS BEGINNING TO YAWN, WHEN SHE SPIED A CAT TRAIPSING ACROSS THE GARDEN.   'HMMM' THOUGHT ALICE TO HERSELF, 'I WONDER WHERE THAT CAT IS GOING OFF TOO?'


'I'M LATE! I'M LATE! FOR A VERY IMPORTANT DATE! MEOWED THE CAT.
'NO, NO, NO',  THOUGHT ALICE TO HERSELF.  THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT? IT'S SUPPOSE TO BE THE WHITE RABBIT WHO SAYS THAT...NOT THE CHESHIRE CAT!'

BUT IT WAS THE CAT, JUST THE SAME, WHO WAS RUNNING TO THE 'MAD TEA PARTY'.

'WELL', THOUGHT ALICE,  'I HAD BETTER FOLLOW THE CAT, OR I TOO, SHALL BE LATE FOR THE PARTY!'

SOON ALICE FOUND A HOLE IN THE GROUND WHERE THE CHESHIRE CAT HAD DISAPPEARED.

'WILL WONDERS NEVER CEASE?!' SAID ALICE.  AS SHE FELT HERSELF FALLING DOWN INTO THE HOLE AS SHE SAW THE CAT DRIFTING SLOWLY DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE HOLE.

DOWN, DOWN, DOWN ALICE FELL, DEEP INTO THE EARTH.  (ALICE DOLL MADE BY 'RHISSANNA'.  PLEASE SEE HER BLOG LINK ON MY RIGHT SIDE BAR WITH THE TWO BLACK RABBITS WITH FAIRY WINGS).
'CURIOUSER, AND CURIOUSER', THOUGHT ALICE AS SHE KEPT FALLING DOWN THE HOLE WHILE SHE LOOKED AT ODD THINGS.  SHE SAW THE CHESHIRE CAT AND A TEA POT SO SHE KNEW SHE MUST BE GETTING CLOSE TO THE 'MAD TEA PARTY'.
SHE SAW A CELLO FLOATING IN AIR, SO SHE DEFINITELY KNEW THERE WAS GOING TO BE SOME CHAMBER MUSIC WHEN SHE ARRIVED AT THE PARTY.
SHE SAW THE FLOOR COMING UP FAST AND SHE LANDED WITH A BUMP!
SHE LOOKED AROUND HER AND SAW THE CHESHIRE CAT SITTING NEXT TO A LITTLE WOODLAND HOUSE (MADE BY VANESSA OF 'A FANCIFUL TWIST').  

'THAT WAS A VERY LONG WAY TO FALL!' REMARKED ALICE. 'I MUST BE OFF TO FIND THE PARTY, AS I AM THIRSTY AND HUNGRY AFTER THAT ADVENTURE!!!'

ALICE SOON FOUND A CHAIR TO SIT ON, NEXT TO THE CHESHIRE CAT.  THE CHESHIRE CAT HAD INVITED HIS CAT RELATIONS, AND A SWEET MOUSEKEWITZ NAMED CHERRY COBBLER (MADE BY VANESSA OF 'A FANCIFUL TWIST') CAME TOO!
THE RABBIT SHOWED UP BUT SINCE HE WAS LATE, HE HAD FORGOTTEN TO DRESS UP FOR THE PARTY!
A SWEET CAT SERVED PIE AND A DUCK SERVED MILK FOR THE TEA. THE TEA CUPS WERE STACKED HIGH ON TOP OF EACH OTHER AND ALICE FINALLY HAD SOME TEA AND PIE.
BEING FULL OF PIE AND CAKE ALICE DECIDED TO WALK OUTSIDE TO ADMIRE MORE OF WONDERLAND.
ALICE ADMIRED THE FLOWERS ON THE PATH, ONE WAS SUCH A BRILLIANT BLUE! IT MATCHED HER DRESS WHICH MADE HER HAPPY.
ALICE DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO GO HOME.  WHEN SHE GOT HOME SHE MADE A 'MAD TEA PARTY' MIXED MEDIA CANVAS IN MEMORY OF THE FOND TIME SHE HAD AT THE PARTY.

THE MAD TEA PARTY GIVEAWAY. THIS IS AN 8 INCH BY 10 INCH, MIXED MEDIA CANVAS WITH LOTS OF TEA PARTY EMBELLISHMENTS, SEALED WITH CLEAR GESSO.  (PLEASE CLICK ON THE PHOTO FOR A LARGER VIEW) CREATED BY TERESA OF 'A MAGICAL WHIMSY'...YES! THAT'S ME!
TO BE ELIGIBLE TO BE ENTERED INTO THE DRAWING FOR THE PARTY GIVEAWAY IT IS REQUESTED BY ALICE THAT YOU MUST, VERY PRETTY PLEASE, LEAVE YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS IN THE COMMENT SECTION.  THIS IS ALICE'S REQUEST OR YOU WILL NOT QUALIFY FOR THE DRAWING.  IT IS LIKE FOLLOWING THE WHITE RABBIT DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE WHEN TRYING TO LOCATE PEOPLE'S EMAIL ADDRESSES WHICH SOMETIMES IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DO SO. PLEASE LEAVE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS TO BE ENTERED INTO THE DRAWING WHICH I WILL BE DRAWING THE WINNER ON MONDAY AND ANNOUNCING IT ON TUESDAY, JULY 15TH, 2014.
