A Mad Tea Party (unplaned)

Welcome to the 9th annual Mad Tea Party 

once more lovingly hosted by Vanessa of A Fanciful Twist. 

Please do find a table to sit and enjoy your visit.

.and of course no party is complete without a party cake showstopper,

Would you like a slice?

Thank you kindly for paying me a short visit, I do hope you can call again. I hold my hands up

and admit this wasn't the party post I'd planned but my card reader choose today of all days to go kaput and plans had to change. After having a Queen of hearts style tantrum and thinking of dropping out, the magic of Pinterest came to my rescue and I found these delicious pictures to share. Once I can release my own  photos from the camera which both Sassy Alice and Mr R. White (both beautifully made by Rhissanna) posed so lovely for I'll do another Un party post or maybe just scatter them through the blog. I can vouch that the cakes I brought and made did taste lovely. Currently Sassy Alice with her arms crossed is having a slight strop and keeps shooting barbed glances my way over her photos not being used and I do believe Mr White has also scurried off to sulk. I'm going off to have another cake (did I mention they tasted lovely hehe) and over this weekend look forward to visiting you all.
