Mad Hatter Tea Party?????

Mad Hatter Tea Party????  Well, not exactly........

You see, there was word in Wonderland, that a small carnival was in town. Well, a carnival sounded very appealing to Alice and the gang, so they decided to skip the tea and head to the FUN!

 

Check out this Toad Twirl About.

 

Mr. Toad is in charge of this ride.

 

Hold on People!

 

Don't spin them too fast Mr. Toad!

 

Alice is having a GRAND time!

 

The March Hare is not sure he likes it.

 

The Mad Hatter is not impressed.

 

Watch out for the bee's on this ride. They are attracted to the flower.

 

Time is spinning out of control on the Tea Cup Tilt~a-Twirl.

 

Tweedledee and his brother Tweedledum are enjoying the carnival ride, however, they refuse to sit down!

 

I'm not so sure the Dormouse was ready for this ride. He'd rather take a nap. Watch your tail Mr. Mouse!

 

Hold on you three!!!

 

Petunia Snail is enjoying all of the excitement.

 

I hope you've enjoyed this little carnival!!! Come back in a couple of days and see who else shows up for the fun!

Oooooh, and I almost forgot! Leave a comment and you may be the winner of a Charlotte Mosaic Cupcake! I'll draw a name on Wednesday, July 1 :-)

Thank You Miss Vanessa from a Fanciful Twist for hosting another fabulous Mad Hatter Tea Party!!!!!

Hugs!

A Little Bit of Clay

A little bit of clay....

can bring to life....

 

a new little fairy.....

 

for the garden wall mosaic

 

Here is the last pics of the wall I shared with you and I will share more soon.

 

  

I TRY to work on it daily and it is a slow process, but it is coming along. It is going to be tough working on it these next few months since our temps will be hovering in the 115 degree area. However, if you've followed my blog for long, you know that I won't let a little heat stop me. :-)

Hugs!

Some Mad Hatter Fun

Last year around this time, I participated in Miss Vanessa's Mad Hatter Tea Party Adventure and let me tell you, it was loads of FUN! So much fun, that I decided to participate again this year. It's nice to take a break from the mosaics every now and again, although I did have a bit of mosaic in last year's creations.

Check out the banner below and mark your calenders for some fun.

  

Now, down memory lane. Here's some of what I did for last year's fun.

 

 

 

 

 

I have no idea on what I'm going to put together for this year's party, but I look forward to the process.

Here's wishing you all a very happy week!!!!

Hugs!

Back from Louisiana

A good time was had in the bayous of Louisiana. Our friends Stephanie and Darryl, were absolutely the most wonderful hosts. Thank You you two!!!  Also loved hanging out with Regina and Phil, of course. :)

Here's me and the hubby at the boat landing. We're a bit excited about getting to Stephanie and Darryl's camp.

 

Here's a view off the deck of a restaurant that we ate at. I believe the restaurant was called Charlie's, but not sure.

 

At this restaurant, they will give you a bucket of crumbs (old biscuits) so that you can feed the fish. Well, we didn't see any fish, but there were hundreds of turtles and a few ducks that were more than willing to take those crumbs off our hands.

 

Now, is this a picture of a happy boy or what. Darryl boiled some craw-fish for us on our first day at the camp. Yum!!!!

 

The next day, the hubby and I went out with Darryl on his boat to pull up the crab baskets.

 

Check out these babies! Watch your fingers! They are vicious!

 

We were lucky enough to see a few gators while at the camp. I can't believe these people swim in this river. Scary! (they've even found sharks in these waters!)

 

The hubby is most happiest when he is fishing and boy did he fish......and fish....and fish! He caught this Gar fish while night fishing.

 

Even the fish here resemble gators! These Gar fish can get up to 8 feet long! Can you imagine swimming along side one of these???!!!

 

The sun setting over lake Pontchartrain. It truly is a BEAUTIFUL place!!!!

 

(I just found out that the link to my blog has been broken. Hopefully it is fixed now)

More Lovely Boxes

Like I said in the previous post, I was so inspired by the mosaic creations these ladies came up with. Great Job ladies!!!

Here are the rest of the boxes. If I didn't post yours and you want me to, please send me a picture of your box and I will get it posted. I'm sure I missed getting pictures of all of them.

Have a fabulous weekend!!!

Creative Abundance (part 1)

Well, I think I have finally recovered from my busy weekend. What a WoNdErFul weekend it was!!!! Exhausting, but wonderful. Kim Caldwell really knows how to put on a show. If you have yet to attend one of her creative events, I highly recommend it. Not only will you be creating fabulous art all day long, but you will be making new friends and maybe seeing old. There is fabulous food to dine on and yummy snacks full of sugar to keep your creative juices flowing. That's just a snippet of the goodness that goes on. Every thing about Kim's events is good for the soul :-) Thank You for a wonderful time Kim!

Here's a pic to give you an idea of how it looks. Look at all of those girls having FUN!

 

Here are pics of a few of the vendor tables

 

 

 

At this point in the day, my table was a bit picked over.

 

Here's my newest cake. The Queen Cake

 

The lovely Miss Valerie is now the owner of The Queen Cake :-) Thank You Sweetie!!!

 

I have to show you one of my newest cupcakes. It was one of the first items snatched up. Isn't she cute?! :-) More of these coming soon.

 

Some of the girls participated in a birdhouse swap. Sooo Pretty

 

I will tell you that I was a bit worried about teaching my class at this event. I was doubting that I could teach 40 women how to do mosaic and complete a project all in 3 hours. Boy did they prove me wrong. Not only did they finish, but their projects blew me away! Their personalities really showed up in their projects. All different and wonderful. They INSPIRED me!!!!! You ladies ROCK!!!

Here are some of the boxes completed and I will show more in the next post.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aren't they just wonderful?!!! They made me so proud :-)

I'll show more tomorrow.

Hugs!
