im sorry, i usually dont need the grid to figure out these problems, just notebook, and all the hints give u the answer, not much thought needed on my part really. But cute teaser, i enjoyed it anyway, just love doing these.

I enjoyed it, but you could make it harder as the last two facts are not needed, also there was another fact (I forget which one) which was also not needed. I liked that you used all the grid combinations in the facts.
i agre with "nykilz" there is too much fact that just blatantly said.. not require much thinking.. but i like it anyways.. keep 'em coming
I LOVED it!!
it was a hard one, an i dont see much of those
make some more!!

This was a very creative idea... Good job. Unfortunately, I had the solution before I had even read the last 3 clues, and there was a lot of other unnecessarily duplicated information, including another completely useless clue earlier on.
Try to make it more difficult by avoiding overlapping info and giving more info on what is not a match.

This was very creative and fun
I too found that I had the answer before the last three clues. It was really sweet but in future please be careful (or at least consistent) with your spelling (was it Viollette, Villet or Violetette?).
Loads of fun though!! Keep up the good work ^_^

i love this teaser....except for the fact that we can use a logic grid finder but the author of this teaser should be very proud
many of the clues weren't needed, but it was still kinda fun

I thought this was fun and just right for my tired mind right now. However, I figured it out without using the last 6 clues and think that without them, the teaser would be more fun and challenging and a better one. Thanks!
it was very easy, but the hint!!! wgat was that about, I didn't use it but I read hints after answers
lots of extra clues
I enjoyed it...like the story idea! Keep improving and keep them coming!
This one was super easy, but the story was really cute, and I really enjoyed it. Thank you.

A bit too girlly for me but.....

Still a nice teaser.
Fun, but easy.
There were a couple of extra clues, and the teaser was very easy, but I still enjoyed it very much. Good job!
When I worked the puzzle from bottom to top, I got it wrong - twice. When I worked it top to bottom, I got it right the first time. Go figure.
