(I'm worked my way through the
Mad Tea Parties.
If I didn't get to yours
please let me know in the comments.)

Giveaway Draw will be on
Saturday 19th July.


 Welcome to the Mad Tea Party 2014

Please come in, take up a seat.

There's plenty of room,

lots of tea

and if you're lucky, 

you'll find a clean cup.

Did you remember to bring your Alice mask?

Do you have a selection of cakes

ready to throw?

If every guest could please

put on their

Alice mask, 

then we can begin...

Today we are going to tell the tale of 

White Rabbit

and the Wicked Alice!

It's a very frightening tale...

Keep those masks on!

Good.

Once upon a time, the White Rabbit

was coming home from a busy day

at the Duchess's.

He was late, of course and in a hurry, 

so he didn't notice a 

huge human child following him.

She'd followed him right down

the rabbit hole.

Poor White Rabbit!

He took to his heels

and ran as fast as he could.

The White Rabbit 

ran through the Great Hall

past the glass table

and through the little door.

He thought he was quite safe, 

as the little door was too small 

for the big, scary human.

But the wicked Alice found 

a bottle of Drink Me!

And a bottle of Wonderland Drink Me

can do very strange things.

It made the wicked Alice very small.

and now she could get through the little door

and chase after poor White Rabbit.

Now do you see why you have to

hide behind the mask?

It's a very scary story!

White Rabbit had pretty pink rabbit eyes,

but he couldn't see very well with them.

He saw the wicked Alice shrunk small 

and though she was his housemaid,

Mary Ann!

He sent her to his home,

to  get the Duchess's gloves and fan.

Instead, she stole another bottle of Drink Me!

She drank it all! No please or thank you!

It made her grow.

And Grow

AND GROW

 The wicked Alice was now a HUGE monster,

breaking poor White Rabbit's house.

And when he bravely went in, 

to rescue the Duchess's fan and gloves

Alice made a grab for him!

Poor White Rabbit was terrified!

The monster had to be chased out of the house,

but she was too big for any of the doors.

And she'd drunk all the Drink Me 

and that just made her even bigger.

So the White Rabbit

and his friends

threw little cakes through the windows.

The greedy Alice ate them all up.

The cakes make the monster shrink in size!

When she tried to sneak out,

the brave rabbit and his friends

chased Alice 

far, far away!

THE END

Hooray for the 

Brave White Rabbit!

And that is the story of the 

Wicked Alice Monster

and that is why, on

Mad Tea Party Day

we wear Alice masks,

and throw cakes at each other.
