Topsy-Turvy Alice
Alice is that you?
Not quite the Mad Hatter
with those ears and long tail.
So it doesn't much matter
that you aren't quite you.
But this look is so different
this look is so new,
that it begs one to question,
Alice, is that you?

Wow! Words can't describe how marvelous this citizen of Wonderland is holding her little teapot. I love how you've merged the white rabbit, mad hatter with Alice. Lovely! The vintage tulle and laces are the perfect touch.

Hi Flora,
It's me, Dana!!! I'm trapped in computer melt down hell!!! Lost my email address book in the crash and with this new MS 7 haven't worked the bugs out of my Verizon email setup. I can't get to you!!! Will you send me your email address, I can pick up incoming mail on a pop 3, but can't use your blog contact me. PLEASE!
Is this lovely creature still available?!? She may not be Red, but oh how twistedly fabulous! From the top of her very fashionable hat to the soles of her, I'm sure, French shoes, she's an Alice who has come into her own. Her galnce of complete savoir-faire tells it's someone else who's late for a very important date. The Queen of Hearts had better watch her own head this time around!
If she's gone, I'm slinking into a corner to either die a death of a thousand cuts or slip into a catatonic deep dark depression.
Breathless,
Dana
AHAHAHA!!!! Dana!!!!!I REALLY cannot wait to get my hands on your new book!!!! It's always such a pleasure to hear from you!!!!
I got your email about Alice and responded, so keep an eye out for it!!! Thanks again for the morning chuckle!!!
Blessings,Flora
