http://www.the-office.com/bedtime-story/classics-alice-1.htm
You dont have to do a creation based on this story - be inspired by it in any way you like! And let us know which chapter your quote come from!

HERE'S WHAT WE CREATED!!! (Sooooo fun!!!)

Mandy

Chapter 1 where Alice (dd Paige) fell 'down down down' in a hole in the ground.

This was the beginning of her adventures!

Julie

The quote is from Chapter 2 where Alice is talking to the mouse about her cat Dinah although I changed thing to girl as I didn't think Leslie would like her daughter called a thing.
'She is such a dear quiet girl'

Jenneke 'Who cares for you?'

The last thing Alice says to the Queen, before she returns home..

My Alice says this to the spider.

Chimene

The quote is from Chapter 3.

There was no `One, two, three, and away,' but they began running when they liked, and left off when they liked, so that it was not easy to know when the race was over

.

Toni

'I'm just a little girl'

Alice was talking to a bird in a tree

Ruth

Chapter 8, The Queens Croquet Ground

`I see!' said the Queen, who had meanwhile been examining the roses.

`Off with their heads!' and the procession moved on, three of the soldiers remaining behind to execute the unfortunate gardeners, who ran to Alice for protection.

Timea

From chapter 7

Alice leaves the tea party, finds a tree, there is a door and says

"But everything's curious today. I think I may as well go in at once.' And in she went."

AND WE ARE SO DELIGHTED TO

INTRODUCE OUR NEWEST

DESIGN TEAM MEMBER!!

YUMIKO

from Japan!!!

And here's a little about Yumiko:

My name is Yumiko Ubukata.
I live in Japan with my husband and four-year-old daughter.
I'm so honored to be one of this wonderful design team.
I started Scrapbooking in 2006 when my daughter was born.
I create layouts mostly about her.
At first I just made albums for her but I really wanted to make somethig more creative.
This was the beginning of Scrapbooking for me.
I find inspiration everywhere and I'm also inspired by other artists every day. Some people say
that my style is so unique. I would like to use not only Scrapbooking products but also everyday goods and
Japanese washi is used on my layout so often.
I'm looking forward to making many creations with you at Let's Get Shabby.
Thank you so much.

Yumiko
The quote I chose was the first part of this story . A scene that Alice found a rabbit in the first chapter. This is a story of her dream but I think Alice is curious about everything and this story unfolds.
