Oooooh! It's finally here....the 2nd Annual Mad Tea Party!!!
This is such a fun event hosted by Vanessa at A Fanciful Twist. Go visit her today for some crazy party wonderfulness.
Wait! What's that? Do you hear something????
A buzzing, sort of fluttery little noise?
That's not a bird.....
...not a plane....
Is it??? Is it our missing tea party guest? The White Rabbit has been tapping his paw, and the Mad Hatter has been looking in teacups and under cupcakes all morning long.
It is! It's the Dormouse!!! He slept late---again.
No need to worry--his team of trusty butterflies will have him there in a jiffy.
Slow down butterflies, slow down!
Oh DARN IT-he overshot the runway. Turn around, Dormouse!
There you go. Watch out for that branch!
Whew...there you go. Try it again.
Here comes the runway of teacups and saucers. Careful, Dormouse, careful!
Landing completed! Now the Dormouse is going to find some punch, have a cupcake, then curl up in a teapot somewhere for a nice long nap.\
(Teapot - SOLD)

Hey Laura!
It's been far too long between visits - my sincere apologies.
I LOVE this idea in this post! So clever, overshot runway and all. :)
I hope you and your family are doing well.
