Mad Tea Party 2016


Welcome! to the 9th Annual Bloggers Tea Party hosted by A Fanciful Twist.  

This year I held an actual tea party for my children and their friends.  And as usual, I created something new to celebrate the event.  New to Watermelon Party are a 
Watermelon Surprise Ball and a Strawberry Surprise Ball. 
 Each one has at least 6 prizes wrapped within layers and layers of colorful streamers.  



On the menu:
Peanut Butter and Jelly French Toast roll ups with powdered sugar 
Whipped Cream Cheese Sandwiches
Flower Shaped Sugar Cookies
Milk Chocolate Frosted Pound Cake
Four different teas and drinks.






Our little guests practice their "pinky finger drinking".  Did you know?...Since ancient Rome, a cultured person ate with 3 fingers, a commoner with five. Thus, the birth of the raised pinkie as a sign of elitism. This 3 fingers etiquette rule is still correct when picking up food with the fingers and handling various pieces of flatware. 


After the tea and snacks they opened their surprise balls.

Mad Tea Party 2015



To celebrate this year's Mad Tea Party hosted by A Fanciful Twist, I have made two special surprise balls.


This deluxe Surprise Ball is made using crepe paper to resemble a delicious 6" cupcake of chocolate cake, vanilla frosting, chocolate sprinkles and a cherry on top all wrapped in a pink & blue polka dot lining.  Mad Tea Party goers and Blog readers get FREE SHIPPING! on a Cupcake Surprise Ball order using code:  CupcakeShipFree

Also, introducing a new, limited edition Deluxe Surprise Ball design - Humpty Dumpty.  Humpty Dumpty measures over 10" tall and is made to serve as a keepsake container as the "egg yolk" surprise ball is inside Humpty Dumpty.  Only 6 Humpty Dumpty Surprise Balls will be available for purchase on Etsy on August 21st.
