Lots of fun!! Great puzzle with great clues. Keep them coming but do proof-read them carefully first for spelling.
This was a fun puzzle! I liked the clues-you had to think some but it wasn't too difficult and the clues were easy to understand.
This one was one of the easiest i have ever done. I only had to read through the list of clues once and i had it done. good job though.
i agree with missy..i only had to do a read-through once..but still..this is more challenging than some of the others i've seen on here..it's good if you only have a bout 10 minutes to spare and you want a quick puzzle

Pretty easy. Worked from the bottom up; didn't need clue 2.
