Fun one! Could almost be a grid, but more challenging (yet still easily do-able) without it. Thanks!
The last sentence of clues is just a bonus, it can be solved without it.
Pretty good teaser. Great job!

it's confusing and takes a while 2 figure out, but i did it - yay me!!

verve640 is right, the last clue-sentence is not necessary ... but still nice one ;)
