Hi Twinklestars! You are just in time! I am *finally* through cleaning up from last Saturday, and was about to make a toast to the insanely talented and oh so fabulous (even under dizzying circumstances) Vanessa Valencia at A Fanciful Twist, for throwing the maddest party of the year! Raise your glass and 1...2...3:
~~~~~*****~~~~~YAY VANESSA!!!!~~~~~*****~~~~~
Remember last Saturday kids? There we were, all holding on to our Top Hats and whirling like dervishes across the bloggyverse, trying to party hop at warp speed, loving every millisecond of it....
and oh my stars! How absolutely incredible were these crazy creative parties, I ask you? I have never had so much fun hosting or being hosted! My striped socks were knocked off more than once! The treats, the cakes, the stories, the tea sets, the bling, the costumes, the scenery-all wonderland wonderlicious!
Oh, the bling! Let's talk about the bling a minute, because I scored me some!
Lu Lu Kellogg at Coastal Sisters had this sweet sweet charm, and I just could not resist! My picture doesn't do it justice, but I think I saw you admiring it during her party ☺
And look! She sent extra treats!
...of the sweet and non-caloric variety! My fave! Thank you, LuLu! You rock!
I am also uber excited to report that-I WON! I won one of the two giveaways from TWo PiXie DoLLs !! (Vanessa won the other-how kizmet is that?) I will share my eagerly anticipated treasures from Krista next time, for they are winging their way through US post office land even as we chat!
And now, I must bid you adieu, as .....it's time to party like it's 1776!!
(Sweet Fred the Red Tailed Bird created by Jamie Woo at A Forest Frolic -more on her next time!)
Seems when one party ends, another begins! Ah, summertime! Hope everyone has a fabulous and safe 4th of July, filled with sweet cold watermelon and snazzy sky-bling!

PS. OH! I totally took advantage of Vanessa's Etsy buy 1 get 1 print free sale (over now, sorry kids!)-and when my prints arrive, and I gets-ta-framing, that will be a post unto itself!! Thank you Mr. Lovee, for buying her that roll of canvas! My top hat's off to you! (And, you make a fabulous Hatter, too, tee hee)
Hey Rooty Roo,
How are you?! Looks like you nabbed some wonderful treats and all in time for the holiday greets.
I hope you're having a lovely Independence Day!
xoxo Cori
