This is a one day blog hop and we appreciate your leaving a FUN comment for all of my fabulous crafty friends who are here sharing their ideas and creations.  

Here are some fun facts about Mad Hatter Day:
It's always celebrated on October 6th 

Mad Hatter Day is a great day to be silly and celebrate silliness. 

The Mad Hatter is a fictional cartoon character depicted in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The Mad Hatter is always acting silly. So, on Mad Hatter Day, it is only fair and fitting to act a little silly yourself. 

Despite being a silly day, the selection of the date was actually quite logical. The Mad Hatter wears a top hat. On the front of the hat is a slip of paper with "10/6" written on it. The paper is believed to be an order to make the hat, and that it costs ten shillings sixpence. 

Did You Know? In the 8th Century, mercury was used in hat making in a process called "carroting". Mercury poisoning drove some hatters crazy (mad). 
Origin of Mad Hatter Day: 
Mad Hatter Day was the brainstorm of a group of computer people in Boulder, Co. It dates back to 1986. Most likely a bit bored with bits and bytes, they got a little silly and created this quite special day.
