Can you believe it?
It's almost time…
The 6th annual Mad Tea Party is a day away!!
Oh my, oh me!
We are plotting and planning and working away.
Sewing at midnight, costuming all day!
It's madness, we're crazed, where does the time go?
Mad Tea Party on the 13th!
I hear little shuffles in the garden…
Tic Toc, Tic Toc…
Please check the party list in the right hand side bar.
Make sure your name is on there (if you want it to be), as the system sometimes ejects names from the list for some reason.
Rare, but known to happen.
And we don't want to miss anyone.
So PLEASE look over the list.
Then…
Get out your finest, pinkies in check!!
I will see you here, there, Mad Tea Party or be square 😉
We are all so excited!!
The Mad Hatter is getting ready, tea time comes so soon!
6th annual Mad Tea Party, here we come!!
Oh my!!!
Are you fretting, are you ready?
Have you gone positively mad?
I so have.
Love, V
ps: THANK YOU for your awesome amazing fantastic book suggestions.
Each and every one.
I am beyond words grateful for all your suggestions.
Finding a good book can be sooo hard sometimes.
I can see myself choosing lots and lots and lots of your suggestions.
I feel so excited and inspired to read on, and on, and on, and on.
I am tempted to compile a list of all your recommendations.
You are brilliant awesome readers!!!
Kindred too for certain!
Feel free to keep adding if you'd like, if one or another pops into your mind.
I really will work on a proper list after the tea party insanity 😉

Dear Miss V,
I know I am late, but I never seem to arrive any other way. I hope it is still ok for me to be added to the list. I know how very busy you are, with all the festivities ahead. I will be there though. I could never miss a Tea.

HI Vanessa, I can’t wait to see your upcoming party posts! I have a magical, adventure, mystery, crime, fairytale book ( all rolled into one ) for you that you won’t be able to put down!!! One of my most favorites …The Forgotten Garden By Kate Morton…in fact all her books are magical and unputdownable! Love Shae xo
It will be my first time at the tea party… ooh lovely! x thanks for your invitation! The fairy art studio is full of Alice and the Mad Hatter is getting finishing touches today!!! And then all will be done… See you tomorrow for all the festivities, good luck with your final preparations… x

I know that everyone will have a wondrous time.
Smiles and hugs to everyone.
Skipping and clicking heels…Hurray! It’s almost here. I adore that you have your own personal Hatter…what a lovely lovely fella.
I’m ready and can’t wait, Vanessa! : )
Sadly, again I can not take part this year… well, I WILL be hopping around.
No one can keep me away. And I had a great story in my head to share. But there will be next year and the year after that and the year after that.
I have been sharing and promoting and I do have an announcement on my blog that I think your readers will enjoy.
Thank you for offering to compile a great reads list. We all know how very full your days are already!
Hi Vanessa! Already messaged you on FB, and it looks like soooooooo much fun…
But with hubby quite ill (only home from the hospital a couple of days ago, hospital bed set up in the dining room, etc), it’s all I can do to keep up with work, the house, and his care. Much as I’d love to participate, I’m going to have to back out this year…
I’ll try very hard to visit a few blogs though!
🖤 Carolee
I’m in! I’m in! I’m late but I’m in!! Please add me to the party –

You have worked your magic once again my dear. I wasn’t sure if I would have my post ready in time but this morning I woke up at 4:00 a.m. all energized and inspired. I spent three hours reworking some images to make a video for tomorrow’s party. I’m working at the office all day watching the clock until I can get back to my burrow and put the finishing touches. I looked back on my first party post 5 years ago and can hardly believe how the time flies. I want to thank you for being your wildly creative and beautiful self. Know that your spirit and the invitation to play always stirs up my creativity and so very grateful. I know you are super busy with party preparations. When you get a chance, send to me your mailing address, I want to send you a thank you. I must fly for now, but I’ll be back tomorrow! {soul hugs} Kathryn, Collage Diva
