It's Time once again for the Lovely Vanessa Valencia's Mad Tea Party! So let's see if we can find the fun!Follow me down the path in search of the rabbit hole! Now I have been here before- but the rabbit hole is enchanted! It moves around to mask its location- so we have to keep alert and look out for the guards. They are tricky little buggers- fast on their feet- they will try to distract you, to get you to go in circles- But I think we can find it!
Let's go!
That fountain looks familiar!! I think we are going in the right direction. Stay alert! Those sneaky little guys could be anywhere!
My, what an interesting tree! I don't think that hole is what we are looking for- but it definitely deserves a second look- don't you think?What was that? Didn't you see?
I definitely saw something move, there by the tree!There he is! It is one of the Guards- Quick! Don't let him get away!
Uh ho! He spotted us! Now he knows we are following him for sure.
Watch out for traps and tricks! Once he is on to us- you never know where he will go!
Oh No, we lost him. Keep looking around!
Oh where did he go? Wait! He's not on the ground!
I knew he's play tricks and run circles- but geepers! He's up on the side of the tree!
Now I know we are getting close and that tree must be the key! Why else would he be so intent on guarding it?
I'm not giving up! I think we are close- So Mr. Fuzzy Britches -you might as well just show us where it is! We are going to
be late late late! Maybe if we just sit for a moment- he'll think we lost interest, we could always just-what?- Oh! What on earth is he looking at. Shhh- don't let him see us.... let's sneak up on him..... You go that way. I'll go around the other side....
There it is!!! We made it! Wait...where did that guard go????
Finally! We found the rabbit hole!
You go first! Don't trip! I will follow you! When you get down there- watch out for that darn bunny!
Deep Breath!
Are you ready?
ONe...Two...Three!

Welcome to the MAd Tea PArty!
Wadsworth-Noll chapter!
Grab a wish from the Wish Bowl on your way in!
It's Wonderland! At least for today! What you wish for while you are in Wonderland- Comes true in Wonderland! (like Vegas- only better!)
Make yourself comfortable~ Grab some refreshments.
I will be having a give-away! So make sure that you leave a comment and some way for me to get back to you! I will be drawing TWO names (at random) for TWO special creations on July 4, 2009. This will give everyone a chance to get through to all of the party goers! So relax, have some fun and get ready to win A Wonderprize! In the meantime...
There are plates on the counter and if you'd like, there are cups next to the....... ::Sigh::; would someone please give AggieMae a tartytart?She has positioned herself in front of the plates and won't move until someone shares with her the tartytarts! That little Goblin girl is going to drive me crazy today! She is obsessed with the tarts!
Thank you!
As I was saying, there cups and tea on the sidebar.Just check the pot BEFORE you pour!
The kids have been acting out- trying to stuff poor Ms. Dormouse in there all morning! Speaking of the kids...
Peckerhead and Lulu are hanging out over by the buffet. Stop by and say "hi" on your way through. Lulu is still pouting because I scolder her for trying to trick Dormouse into jumping into the teapot on her own- Teenagers! She will get over it- don't worry! (Either that or I am sending them home to Sonia- maybe a week or two in Texas would do them some good!):::OH BFF! These kids are driving me wacko! I need a vacation!:::
That reminds me- if you are of age, and want something a bit more.. festive than tea- Gargs is playing bartender over on the porch- But I am warning you- You'd better be of age! He is checking IDs and I personally don't want to find out what he would do if he catches you youngsters at the hooch!
Everyone should be arriving soon~ and I still have to put u
p more decorations... Could someone give me a hand please?Oh- very funny Crow-Mag! Now go put that back on the art table
and help me hang these decorations, please!
No wonder they call it a MAD tea party! I think I am going absolutely mAD- Crazy! Woo hoo ....... HOOT!
The "newbies" Sure are excited about seeing everyone! They wanted to join in the festivities- now I tried explaining to them that they had no arms and really could not do much- they insisted on participating- being festive, and saying hello. Somehow or another- they wrapped themselves up in some garland- convinced that no one would notice their lack of appendages. eh, yeah. sure. I'll go with that- how bout you?
Chelsea is at the door- Could you please let her in?
I am having a bit of a problem with
Sir OOdles- Seems he just got caught with his hands in the cookie jar.... Literally!
What a silly guy! Sir Oodles- There is plenty of smackerals out on the table- there is no need to go diving in the cookie jar!
My existence!
I love parties! It gives me an excuse to bring out the beaded baubles and the silver candle sticks!
I'm going to go grab them, and see who else is
hanging around the Noll... Must mingle!
Hey- Look who I found! I am so glad this guy decided to make an appearance! He has been packing all week! He is on his way to Oregon this week... So I guess he decided to make one more HURRAH before traveling cross country to his new home!
OMG! Guess who I found sacked in the Studio! Lenny! and he's smashed!I guess he won't be painting any portraits today! I can't believe he did this! You know. You've seen his antics before- but I just can't believe he got smashed at the Mad Tea PArty! What a shame...
Good thing he is up in the studio! Maybe he can sleep it off
and create a few paintings for us later.... I hope!
:::shaking head::: I just can't believe you, Lenny!!
You had better not let Alice catch you in this condition! She has been waiting to see you!!!
Good thing the Spirit guide has gotten.... in the spirit... hardy har har har!
Dream boy here brought along his star. Something to wish upon.
I myself am wishing for a nap right now!
So I am taking a break to go party other places!
I'll be by to check out every one's blog this year- it is a goal- even if it takes me alllllll weekend! remember there is full week to post a comment for the give aways! I will be posting updates to the party as it progresses- so you can leave a comment on every blog post this weekend- and get a chance to win every time!
Good luck to everyone! Have an excellent time hopping around this weekend! I will be back in a while!

Lovely party and an odd assortment of friends to meet.
At first I was frightened of jumping down that hole so deep.
I had such an adventure following rabbit's feet.

Thank you for stopping by my party and leaving a get well wish for The Prince. He is very ill and I am quite broken heated, but he and The King of Hearts made me leave my pity party to join the Mad Tea parties and I'm so glad that I did. I so enjoyed your party. I loved the trees and the adventure finding the rabbit hole. It was all worth it once inside because your guests were all so fabulous and clever. I decided I must follow you on other adventures as well so I joined your fan club. I love your unique design of your blog. It's like how unique each person is in physical appearance and personality. I'll be back again soon for a longer visit.
