 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)!!!
