marykay.com/mmar
 |
| I got an invitation to the Mad Hatter’s Teaparty, now what could be more Victorian than that! |
 |
| Hope I’m on the right road. |
This is a good indication I’m headed in the right direction.
 |
| Oh yes,there’s the Cheshire Cat’s grin, I must be going the right way |
 |
| I’ll just keep going. |
 |
| Almost there, mmm the Queen of Hearts must be invited. |
 |
| Yep,I’m in the right place. There’s the Cheshire Cat and he found his grin. |
 |
| and there’s the Queen of Hearts! |
 |
| and she brought her secret service with her |
 |
| another secret service person, nobody better mess with the Queen!!! |
 |
| The mad Hatter is sure dapper today |
 |
| He has certainly set his table with the finest of china. I wonder if he got his idea for a table setting from Martha Stewart. |
 |
| I’m certain he consulted Martha Stewart for this one. |
 |
| Watch out ma’am ,that guy is madd |
 |
| Martha Stewart would be proud. |
 |
| Oh, the Queen’s white rose garden is lovely |
 |
| mmmm these roses need color |
 |
| Now they don’t look so anemic. |
 |
| Let’s get this job done before the tea party!. |
 |
| Always prefer red roses. |
 |
| The more help the merrier!. |
 |
| Watch out munchkins,here she comes! |
 |
| We’ll just stay over here,out of trouble. |
 |
| I belive Alice was the guest of honor. |
 |
| The Queen sure sets a good table, lot’s of yummies |
 |
| The hare is trying to get away, he has a very important date. |
 |
| The hare found his important date |
 |
| Oh you munchkins are in t-r-r-ouble. You not only painted the queen’s roses,you painted her flamingos. Off with their heads! |
 |
| How did the mad hatter know that cupcakes are an in thing right now. |
 |
 |
| Well it was a great journey,but the cheshire cat disappeared again. There must be a short in his system ,because he left a whole bunch ofsmiles,actually instead of one.(actually,it is the outcome of the munchkins game of pin the smile on the cheshire cat)!!! |
