To celebrate the season, we bring you The Lewis Carroll Memorial Window at Daniell Chapel in England. Notice the left panel where Lewis Carroll and Alice kneel to pay homage to the newly born Christ in this wonderful Nativity scene! This month's quote is actually contained within the windows, do you see it?

The window was designed by the stained glass artist Geoffrey Webb,  a must-see for anyone that loves Wonderland. A wonderful Christmas poem by Lewis Carroll is shown in the center three bottom panels, which include characters from Wonderland - the White Rabbit, Dodo, the Caterpillar, Mad Hatter, and more! 

Your Weekly Inspiration:

Sue Roddis of JABBERWOCKY created an "Alice in Christmas Wonderland" snow-globe, such fun!

You can see all the details in these closeup. Most stamped images are from IndigoBlu.

Barbara Washington of Magic Delights created this charming set of four Wonderland ornaments! Each image is stamped and then painted.

The simple cream backgrounds with accented edges really suits the pen and ink style of the illustrations! What a wonderful addition to any tree!

I think my favorite is the Tweedles, as their round tummies are such a perfect match for the snowman shape!

Erin Leveille of Stamp Til U Cramp brings us a charming snow-globe with Alice all dressed up in her holiday finest!

I love the wreath she is carrying, made from some vintage garland, as it adds so much dimension. The tiny candy canes are the perfect scale for this little holiday scene!


Now we are hoping that YOU will have a Wonderland Christmas greeting for the design team.  You have until Friday, Dec. 23 to enter.
