This Teaser was difficult yet mind bogling. I couldn't get the puzzle even with the clues. I am just out of it today. Well Done.
I enjoyed your play with word combinations using word groups to make common sayings. Good Job, good use of the English Language and Vocab.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Is it bad that I came up with Wed and Married for #2?
Guess that might work.
I agree with the earlier poster: wed and married. It isn't much of a saying, but I think the "carried = buried" is questionable in terms of rhyming.
These are fun; thanks for making them.

Thanks! It means a lot to know that people are enjoying my teasers. There's more to come, so be sure to look out for them.
That was fun. I've never heard of the first one. Carried and buried rhyme perfectly to me.
I came to add my "Wed and Maried" comment also. "Done and dusted" is not a phrase I'm familiar with, but the rest were fun and easy.
Nice teaser. Enjoyed working on it, even though I didn't get them all right. Thanks for posting.
