Mad Hatter's Tea Party and giveaway..edited

Congrats to the Bobbypin Bandit! She won my Mad Hatter apron giveaway......!

Thanks to Vanessa from A Fanciful Twist for hosting this wonderful event! Check out her Mad Tea Party by following the white rabbit link below.

Welcome friends!
please pull up a chair...


there is tea to be sipped
and sweet treats to share.


There are stars in the ceiling
and beads to put on


Look! guests are arriving to join in the fun...
Prince Frogs and toads and bunnies and more


toadstools and dolls and snails galore



all beckon you to have some tea

then throw in your hat to win something from me!
This tea party apron is Mad Hatter approved. So please leave a comment, you mustn’t be rude!
The rules are kept simple, for those that aren’t sane. You have until Friday to throw in your name.
Be sure to leave info in case you win...or I will be forced to pick again…
Now off I go to join other parties, I mustn’t be late, I mustn’t be tardy.

Please follow the rabbit, the fun keeps on going, just as sure as the weeds in my garden keep growing!



-I'm late, I'm late! For a very important date! No time to say "Hello, Goodbye" I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!!!-

    That apron's so pretty
    and useful, too;
    I love your striped stockings
    with nary a shoe.

    Your party was pretty

    so I have to run!
