The cost of greeting cards is outrageous, Francine! They're read once and perhaps placed on a shelf for a day or two before being discarded. Maybe we should go into our own card-making business. This will do great in the Valentine limerick contest. Great use of sarcasm that makes the reader laugh. Thanks for your kind thoughts on my blog. Much appreciated. Wednesday will be quite an ordeal, but I'll have Dane Ann with me and that will be a great source of support. Love, Carolyn

You made the pieces of the puzzle fit together somehow. Your work tells a humorous story.

Very great work on this one.. A homemade card with one' own message would be so much more meaningful..It is the fact that a person spent time and thought anyway isn't it...I was greatly honored to be bestowed a place in your contest..Thanks for choosing my work..Sara
