Welcome One and All....Especially If You're Mad...



For those of you joining me today from A Fanciful Twist's Mad Tea (Blog) Party, welcome! Please remember to keep all hands and feet inside the blog at all times. I hope you'll enjoy your stay and thank you for coming!

Now, on to the party!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Finally, you're here!

It's time to give a cheer!

You are such a smarty

To come to my Mad Tea Party!


Please come inside at once my friend...Don't be shy, we're all quite mad here you know...



Now, that's better! After all, if you were not here we would be greeting no one now wouldn't we? Which is absurd because no one hates being greeted...



Please do hurry with your hellos, you're not the only one we're greeting you know! And if you aren't careful, you'll miss the performance of the White Rose. And if you miss the 5:00 show, you'll have to wait until the 5:05 show! (Confidentially, they are the same show, you cannot learn a lot of things from the flowers you see...)



A cup of tea! You must have a cup of tea!



Clean cup, clean cup, move down!

Perhaps something sweet to eat?



Stop! Stop!

Is it me or do the tea cups look larger than before?



*gasp* We shrinked!



Excuse me? What do you mean it is "shrank"? After all, if we had shrank, that would have been in the past and I most certainly did not shrink in the past but shrinked now not then, see?

Well, while we are down here, we might as well pay our respects and all.



But first, I must find my shoes! Now where did they run off to, shoes do that you know...



No, not that pair...



No...



No, not those either...All these shoes and I have nothing to wear!



What's that you say? Rabbit, what rabbit? Why, he's two days slow!



Your majesty!



Yes, yes, we must leave at once! Croquet with the Queen and all that. Good bye! Good bye!

What? How do you get home and unshrinked??? Why, go Thru The Mirror of course!!!
