love and hugz

I would be The Cheshire Cat because I am a good listener and like to help people. I also spend a lot of time just wishing I could disappear from sight.
Gorjuss pics, as always Suzanne
Good luck on Monday with your op and I hope Mr G doesn’t get to overwelmed coping on his own
on to the alice question…..for me it would have to be The Cheshie Cat 🙂
My tribe and I currently live in Cheshire, not far from the Alice in Wonderland church (OMG thats the most wonderful church ever!!)
The Cheshire Cat is always smiling, that big cheesy grin and although I may not smile on the outside all the time, inside I am always smiling…..
Also my very first nick when I hit the net and chats/msn groups etc etc was
The Cheshire Cat
Now I have to agree with Monti – the Cheshire Cat, of course. Being a cat lover, having a positive attitude (or at least trying to) and being an observer of what’s going on around me – what better Alice in Wonderland character could I choose?

Awesome giveaway! Thank you so much!!

The Mad Hatte would be my choice.Tea parties and being rude suit me quite nicely (lol). Being a witness at a trial would not be cool. Oh yes, I am a wee bit on the mad on the mental health side.
First of all, best wishes for you on Monday Suzanne.
I think I would have to be Alice and take the ‘medicine’ to make me tall as I’m less than 5 feet tall and a few more inches would be good!
If I were an Alice in Wonderland character I would be the cheshire cat. It would be awesome to be able to disappear and reappear whenever/wherever I wanted…and the cheshire cat is marked as the only character on Alice in Wonderland that listens to Alice…I am a good listener, so we are alike in that instance.
I created an animation in school a few years back of Alice in Wonderland…I hand drew and colored every piece throughout the presentation. If you care to take a look… http://portfolio.sweetirie.com/thumbs/art/kga1.swf ( http://portfolio.sweetirie.com/animation.html )
Thanks for the awesome giveaway! I would be so honored to have one of your prints!!!!

The Cheshire Cat – the madness, the freedom & no one cares if you’re a lil crazy to boot cause they’re all a lil crazy as well lol
Have to go with Alice! Lol. Simply because of the name. 😉
You are very creative lately Suzanne, I love your latest illustrations 🙂
As for the giveaway, and my entry, I would be The White Rabbit because I’m always late for everything in life! It must be a friend meeting, a professional appointment, a special occasion with family…. anything. I’m always late! Not to mention that I always need extra time for my commissions in Art LOL . And I’m always doing thousand things at the same time, I really should slow down sometimes..
(I’d love to be Alice too, to discover TONS of fabulous things)
I’d be the Mad Hatter. I am very cynical at times (there are people who call it “rude”, can you imagin? LOL) and I looooove to celebrate my un-birthday with looots of presents (shiny!) several times a month ;o)
Wow how gorgeous is she !!!
Well for me it will have to be Alice. Life most days feels like I’m in wonderland that’s for sure. Going through a nightmare of a year 2009 lol. Hoping next year will allow me to escape out of wonderland lolol. Seems like when one bad weird thing happens .. it’s followed by more than one lol.
Thanks so much for another great chance to win a gorgeous prize 🙂
Easy… The Queen Of Hearts
Just to be able to shout OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!! whenever I want to LOL
If it were true I would live in a really quiet city, everyone sooo polite and not cutting my way when I ride my bicycle… Ahhhh! I’d like that 😉
I would probably be the Rabbit because I feel like I’m always going wide open and I feel like I am always running late.
Although being Alice and getting to have that adventure would be nice too!
Hey There, I am a HUGE fan of Alice in Wonderland … She is my fav. Disney Character and it is my all time fav. Disney Movie 🙂
I Love that portrait you did … GORGEOUS!
I would like to be Alice …. She is young full of life and goes on this amazing journey into another world where she learns about new things, learns the values in the lil things and learns a few things about herself …………..
I would love to step into Wonderland for one day and just see how things are outside my busy world and maybe perhaps learn a few things about myself along the way ….
Thank you soo much for having this contest ……………..
Bigg Huggs!
I would be the cheshire cat, because I am mysterious and insightful. I do beleive I was a cat of some sort in a previous life. They are like my kindred spirits.
Oh goodie! I love this painting of Alice!
I would have to say I would be The Mad Hatter. I’m am quite mad at times…lol.
I would be Alice as she loves to see things that are different and loves life. Adventures in life are the best …l love them and seeing new things like Alice.
Hugs lee xx
Suzanne l love the new painting its amazing
Hugs lee xx
I would have to say the cheshire cat… I’m a little kooky and just don’t care about what you think! Plus I’m a smart alec sometimes 😉
Heya! What a fabulous giveaway tonight 🙂
In Alice in Wonderland, I think I’ll be… the White Rabbit: he’s always in a hurry and fears to be late for what he has to accomplish. By the way, I think he’s a kind of guide through Wonderland but he has NO IDEA of it.
Hi Suzanne i hope all goes well on Monday, my fingers are crossed for you all the best ! my son charlie also sends he best wishes .. he was 13 today omg he makes me feel old lol
btw i love the new girls keep up the awesome work !
right down to business lol i would say Alice purely as her name is Alice lol
oh and good luck Mr G i hope you have a good week
This was a tough decision for me, it was either Alice or the Mad Hatter but I finally decided on Alice. Alice is a day dreamer & I always find myself doing that now. She goes on a wonderful adventure & I would love to do the same because I love doing new things.
The new painting is completely amazing 🙂
oh wow lovely picture me wants 😀
I would be the Caterpillar because even though he appears to be very rude he does show a different side and is very helpful to Alice
Hi Suzanne, a lovely giveaway yet again
I would be the Dormouse all snuggly and oblivious to the arguments of life around me, just waking up when its all over.
Retweeted too I am joby14
@acguest
I would be the Caterpillar who sits around all day chilled out smoking the big pipe, I don’t actually smoke so I would switch the pipe for a nice glass of chilled wine instead (and possibly some chocolate too) … relax 🙂
Hi Suzanne, lovely print!
Well when I read this, my family was sitting around me and I asked their opinion and everyone agreed the Cheshire Cat. I don’t even think they thought twice when answering. LOL I guess its because I’m always in the background observing whats going on. But I can be mischievous when I want to be. And we mustn’t forget the grin. You never know what I’m up to! 😉
I would most definitely have to be Alice. First because I feel like I live in Wonderland already with all the chaos that three little boys bring…and second because I already have the dress (oh yes I do!) ; ^ )
Suzanne, I hope things go well on Monday and that you rest up and feel better very soon. I know Mr. G will take fantastic care of you!
Love this new painting…absolutely beautiful!
XO
I sure feel like the Red Queen around my house lately, I think my husband would agree 😉
I hope all goes well for you on Monday…
Defiinitely I would want to be Alice. She gets to have all the adventure!
I would be the March Hare (i think that’s the one who says “no time to say hello- goodbye I’m late, I’m late, I’m late) lol. I’m always in a rush and yet everything still has to be perfect. I’m the one who is an hour early to an appointment and stuff like that. Me and my 3 little girls use to joke about it all the time. They would say ” say it mommy say it” lol wanting me to say that line in a silly tone.
Oh I would have to say The Queen of Hearts! I would love to go around yelling “Off With Their Heads!”
Lovely paintings this week suzanne so pretty! I hope you get some rest this week!
Hugs, Stef
I would be Alice for sure… I am always ready to fall through the looking glass into my next adventure!!
Hmm…I’d probably be Alice. She gets the funky goth-loli clothing, no matter the version of the story; a kitten; grand adventures; and comes out better for it all. Definitely Alice.
I think I would be the rabbit, allways in a rush, clock in hand.
😛
oh and the painting is adorable!
Wow Gorjuss Painting suzanne, I LOVE it, Good luck with your wee op!!
hope all goes well!
Okay the Character I would LOVE to be is Alice, What an amazing adventure she has
and wow what a great imagination as well, I remember day dreaming as a child when reading this book, and always thought I WOULD Love to be Alice.
to see the things she see’s to have a tea party with the mad hatter. To play the queen of hearts ………..just imagine hehehe
thanks for the chance at such an amazing prize
smiles

Love the new painting!
I think I’d be the March Hare. I was born in March, and a lot of people think I am mad.:-) I would be delighted to own a collection of clocks shaped like a hare’s head, and I am always ready for tea time.:-)
I would be the vampire, oh wait…
There wasn’t a vampire in Alice In Wonderland huh??? (blushing)
Hmmmm Alice and the Vampire?!?!
I might have something here huh??
hehehehe
Alice in Transylvania?
Ohhh I would love to be Alice…..
With the new meds i am on i sometimes feel like i am having my own little adventure…lmao….
Hope everything goes well on Monday Suzanne, I know Mr G will take good care of you…
Look at me only thinking of me 🙁
I hope all goes well Monday and you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
MrG. will take good care of you I am sure!!
Ohhh and I just LOVE the new little girl……..She is Awesome…..
I think I would be the rabbit, cause he gets stressed out easily like I do, and cause he’s a bunneeeeyy. 🙂 I pray your surgery goes well!
Love the new girl!
I’m torn between whether I would be the Mad Hatter or the Cheshire Cat – I always saw the Cheshire cat with his disappearing and reappearing on whim and that grin as having a devious side, too, so I’m leaning toward Cheshire Cat. Although I played the Queen of Hearts in an elementary school play and I could just see me sitting around, ordering the peons about, even to the point of yelling, “Off with their Heads!” lol
Hi Suzanne! Good luck on your operation Monday..will send healing thoughts your way! So, who would I like to be in Alice in Wonderland, huh? Well, since I am a cat person..I’d have to go with the cheshire cat! I love his great big grin, the way he’s so mischevious and then disappears all the time (until you least expect him, lol)!! I like to smile all the time..no matter what is going on, and my oh my, the tricks I (ermm, we) play on our friends and singing group! And yep..I’m good at disappearing, learned that as a kid..spent alot of time hiding, lol! So even though there is the shy mysterious side of us (cheshire cat & me) we are also pranksters!! Big hugs to ya!
oh yeah..love the painting of Dear Alice, and the new one of Forget me not..simply GORJUSS!!
Alice in transilvania,.. sounds like a videogame jeje
interesting.. 😛
Love the new painting!
I’d be Alice if I could because my curiousity always has me going off in new directions to find uncharted territory.
