Review of Easter Time  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (5.0)
Hello AmyJo-Spring's finally here! *Wave*

Thanks again for the tag to this Word Search puzzle. *Delight*

*Rabbit2*Hopping Right In:

This is such a special time of year with spring and renewal of hope and Easter celebration. I loved your introductory poem above the puzzle. It is indeed a time for reflection. *Cross2*


Hunting for Eggs:

Always a fun part for the youngsters to do while the family puts together an Easter feast. Chocolate in a basket to make the joy greater. *basket*

Preparing for the Season:

From Ash Wednesday until Resurrection Day, it is a holy time of year. A time for reflection and prayer. A time for families to get together and celebrate the joy of the resurrection. *Pray*

The Puzzle:

Most things related to springtime and Easter/Passover. It contained 25 words or groups of words to uncover. It was a joyful puzzle to solve as it reminds us of all the good things surrounding this holiday. It is a moderate level difficulty puzzle.

Parting Thoughts:

Again, you have chosen a wonderful theme that fits perfectly into the season. I really enjoyed solving this one! *EggR*
Conclusion:

Excellent Easter Word Search!

Until next time--Puzzle on! *Puzzle3*

WebWitch *Witch*

Review of Fruit Bowl  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (5.0)
Hi AmyJo-Spring's finally here! *Wave*

A little birdie told me there was a Word Search puzzle yet to be done! *Twitter*

Refreshing:

This puzzle is indeed a refreshing puzzle to solve. I love all the fruit woven into it. Some very interesting choices. Even passion fruit! I came across some passion fruit growing in my Florida community on a walk along the wooded edges. I loved the pretty flower on it before the fruit grows. *Raspberries*

So many fruits and berries of different colors and sizes. What a marvelous fruit bowl these would be combined! *Orange*

Furthermore:

This puzzle had 25 words to uncover. It was a good paced puzzle with no real slow-downs. How could there be when my mind was looking for the fruits of good taste! *Watermelon*

Tasty Parting Thoughts:

This was another delightful subject matter to create a delectable Word Search puzzle! *Apple*

Conclusion:

Great job ... and, a delicious solve! *Blueberries*

Until next time--Puzzle on!

WebWitch *Witch*

Review of Crochet Fun  Open in new Window.
In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (5.0)
Hi AmyJo-Spring's finally here! *Wave*

I'm here to play another Word Search puzzle. Thanks for tagging me. *Bigsmile*

What Hooked Me:

I used to crochet as well as knit, years ago. It has been awhile since I put down my hooks. The funny thing is, I started thinking about crocheting again. It is a very relaxing hobby. I was always making shawls and scarves for my firstborn daughter. It's a fun and practical hobby to have. *Web4*

Furthermore:

This particular puzzle took me back to those times. The familiarity of the words to uncover were like I never gave it up. I loved shopping for yarn and different sized hooks for a particular project. I had watched my grandmother crocheting the fancy scalloped edges around handkerchiefs. They were a pretty big deal years ago. *DragonflyB*

Parting Thoughts:

This Word Search consisted of 25 words/groups of words describing crochet terms. Although I am familiar with the terminology, I still had some difficulty finding a few words. It's a moderate difficulty level. I can say that when I'm chasing down the last word for what seems like forever! *Laugh*

Conclusion:

This was another fun and memorable puzzle to solve. I may just pick up crocheting again! *Shock2*

Until next time--Puzzle on! *Puzzle2*

Regards,
WebWitch *Witch*

Until next time--Puzzle on!

Hello AmyJo-Spring's finally here! *Wave*

I'm baaack! *Delight*

Preliminary Remarks:

Oh, I was drawn to this particular subject matter for some reason that just escapes me at the moment. *Angelic*

I enjoyed uncovering the legal terms of usage in the courtroom. I have also enjoyed watching many court TV shows over the years. *Gavel*

Damages:

A quick fix.

A little typo, here in the intro:
some terms that you might here [hear] about during a court hearing.

Judge:

This Word Search puzzle consisted of 25 words pertaining to the legal system. This was a fun and fast puzzle to solve. I enjoyed the theme of it and some old memories they conjured up in my mind from years ago.

Thank you for creating this new WS puzzle, and tagging me with the link. *Bigsmile*

Verdict:

Good job! *Gavel*

Until next time--Puzzle on!

Regards,
WebWitch *Witch*

Hello mikey *Wave* Welcome to WDC!

I found this Word Search under Browse by Type. I thought I'd give it a try! *Bigsmile*

Initial Thoughts:

I like the brief description letting players know this puzzle is about stuff you like. It even has words described from your imagination. It sounded like fun! *Cool*

Further Thoughts:

This puzzle consists of 25 words to uncover. Some interesting words if I may say. This one was my favorite: "squigggleee." The unusual spelling added to the fun part of solving the puzzle. *CoffeeBl*

Parting Thoughts:

It seems that I completed the puzzle. Uncovered all the words, but the tile didn't turn green. It's happened before with other puzzles, and the usual problem was a word repeated twice. I pored over the word list and did not find a word repeated. I tried to hit the "click to solve" when I was done, but that never opened. *Laugh*

Conclusion:

The sticky tile above aside, I had fun playing!

Well done! *Grasshopper*

Until next time--Puzzle on!

WebWitch *Witch*

Review of Thinking  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (5.0)
Hi AmyJo-Spring's finally here! *Wave*

Now this is a fine brainteaser! *Ha*

Refresher Course:

I love that I got a mini refresher course of different parts of the brain and a big part of the brains humongous job. Whether it is involuntary functions or we are required to use our brain for thinking skills, it is indeed a highly complex organ.

*Brain2*Keeping the Neurons Firing:

Motor skills, cognitive skills, not to mention breathing!

This puzzle contained 25 words/combinations to uncover. They all pertain to the brain, of course. Your Word Search puzzles keep me hunting because I know there will be a covered, hidden word that will need shadowing twice. And there was of course. *Bigsmile*

As usual, I enjoy your poetic lines above the tile. It relates to the subject matter and is well rhymed. I love the the ending lines: "Neurons firing on all cylinders, At least most of the time." I love the qualification of most of the time. We're only human and sometimes our "cylinders" need a bit of oiling for smoother thinking! *Laugh*

Conclusion:

Thank you for this brain exercise about using the brain. I enjoyed the challenge! *Brain*

Great job!

Until next time--Puzzle on!

WebWitch *Witch*

Review of Checkmate  Open in new Window.
In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (5.0)
Hi AmyJo-Spring's finally here! *Wave*

I am here because a little birdie tagged me about this Word Search puzzle. *Laugh*

The Game In Play:

Firstly, I loved your introductory poem. You do add that little something with your poetic lines above your Word Search Puzzles. *Writer*

I also love the game of Chess. Played it a lot, many years ago, then got very busy and and haven't played as much. It's a thinking game. Strategy being very a very important element in the pursuit of winning. *ChessBishopW*

On Further Play:

This puzzle consisted of 25 words or combinations thereof relating the the game of chess. They involve chess pieces, game moves, tournament plays and much more fun and games to do with this game. *ChessKnightB*

I moved along for the most part catching those elusive words woven within the tile. The last, pesky word that remained hidden until the end was capitulate. *ChessKingW*

Checkmate:

In conclusion, this was a fun puzzle. I could picture moves in my head from playing chess with my son years back. He loved the game and learned a lot about it. In fact, at the ripe old age of 11, he taught me the Blitzkrieg strategy. No wonder he kept beating me! *Laugh*

Another great themed Word Search puzzle! *Puzzle2*

Until next time--Puzzle on!

WebWitch *Witch*

Hi 🐺Wolfkingdom🏰 *Wave*

I noticed a new Word search puzzle--so here I am! *Bigsmile*

What I Liked:

I liked the creativity of your themed puzzles. This one is finding all the two words needing to be uncovered. Sounds easy, right? *Smirk*

Furthermore:

The tile is pretty tight in size since there are 25 words to solve, yet the size of the puzzle is much smaller than most if not all so far puzzles where longer words take up the space.

I swept through many of them quickly. I got slowed down a bit when it came to words that are already mixed in with solved words, such as "to" which had more than one show-up on the tile. I hit the wrong one and had dig deep to find just the right "to," to uncover. It's just too many to's to deal with! *Rolling*

Parting Thoughts:

Congratulations on another fun puzzle. This was a treat to find. It was just the perfect relaxation Word Search for a Sunday evening.

Conclusion:

Great job! *Fireworks6*

Until Next time--Puzzle on!

WebWitch *Witch*

Review of March Holidays  Open in new Window.
In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (5.0)
Hi AmyJo-Spring's finally here!

Ooh, a new spring Word Search puzzle! *StarStruck*


*Rabbit2*Jumping Right In:

Oh, my! I had no idea how many National days were woven into March. We're already halfway through the month. I can't believe I missed so many days to celebrate ...something. *Smirk* I mean I know St. Patrick's Day, and spring equinox, a few family birthdays are in March as well. But this is one full puzzle of days.

Furthermore:

The tile consisted of 25 words or combinations thereof, all related to the month of March. I mean there's even a National Button Week! *ButtonG*

It is so interesting to see what special events turn up in one month that are not the familiar ones. Brutus Day--from the Ides of March fame. Craft month--even nap day! Now I know I missed that one! *Laugh*

Parting Thoughts:

This was a funtabulous puzzle to solve. I got educated on all things celebrated during this month that I had no idea existed. I really enjoy playing this one! *Puzzle2*

Conclusion:

Great job! *Clap*

Until next time--Puzzle on!

WebWitch *Witch*

Hi StephBee *Wave*

You know why I'm here! *Angelic*

Overall Thoughts:

You shared some clips via YouTube from ROMEO & JULIET.
Also, Kiss Me Kate. Indeed Shakespeare had some entertaining characters! *joker*

You did a fantastic job with your intro and bit of your background love for the Bard. It was very interesting to see where your love for romance writing was born. *Cupidheart*

Furthermore:

This puzzle consisted of 17 words having to do with Shakespeare's characters. It was fun finding those familiar characters. The puzzle was moderate level difficulty, which I'll explain why below. It just goes to show you a puzzle does not have to be a full 25 word-tile to get a player stuck!

Parting Thoughts:

Oh, my! Tricky, tricky, you. *Ha* I saw all the words were found and crossed out, yet the tile wouldn't turn green. What was I missing? I looked over all the words again and then it hit me. You repeated the name of the character Othello! I had to plow through all the solved words on the puzzle so I could shadow over Othello another time so it works. Upon doing that, the tile turned green. Success!

Conclusion:

I had a fun time. I loved the background and intro you added. It all made for a good time spent. *Bigsmile* Even the double play. *Smirk*

Good job!

Until next time--Puzzle on! *Puzzle4*

WebWitch *Witch*

Review of ME-TV WORD SEARCH  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (5.0)
hi 🐺Wolfkingdom🏰 *Wave*

I found this brand new Word Search puzzle all about the ME-TV channel. I love that network! *InLove2*

*Rabbit2*Jumping Right In:

Great selections of shows that I've watched years ago that are all back on ME-TV. There are many more I can think about, but the tile is only so big. *Laugh*

I love Three Stooges and Svengoolie. They make Saturday night TV fun and funny!

Further Thoughts:

Your puzzle contained 24 words/titles to uncover. It also had numbers mixed in making it even more interesting. Coded words and such

Parting Thoughts:

This was truly an enjoyable puzzle to solve. I saw shows that brought me down memory lane. Some of the titles just jumped right out at me. Others, I had to look a bit harder. The addition of numbers can knock the concentration off until it finally makes sense. *Gears*

Conclusion:

Great job showcasing some vintage television shows! *TV*

Until next time--Puzzle on! *Puzzle3*

WebWitch *Witch*

Hello AmyJo-Spring's finally here!

Thank you for responding to my newsfeed request to create a Shakespearean related Word Search puzzle. I appreciate it! *Bigsmile*

Overall Thoughts:

You did a masterful job in squeezing in those quotes within the 25 word maximum. I love the fact that leaving no breaks between the words keeps it as a single word as far as the puzzle is concerned. *Bigsmile*

Further Thoughts:

You covered some of the most memorable lines that we associate with Shakespeare. It's a beautiful thing! *Scroll*

The last word/s I found were "Ides Of March." Looks like it was the shortest string of words on the tile. Go figure! I thought I would uncover that one first. *Ha*

Parting Thoughts:

I loved working this puzzle because it got my muse thinking of writing again. Words to live by --words to practice. Shakespeare has them all! *Quill*

Conclusion:

Well-balanced, puzzle with quotes that are rich and worthy for a writer's muse to kick in!

Great Job! *Clap*

Until next time--Puzzle on!

WebWitch *Witch*

Hi Ichabod Crane-writing-reading.

Look what I found in your port? *Ha*

Getting Right to It:

Actually I know I've been tagged along the way but have had some reviews needing to be done for contests so have strayed away from my Word Search fun!

I am here now to say you chose a food music video to play while solving the puzzle. I love me some Whitesnake! *Music2*

I always appreciate the video added to the puzzle. It is that extra step that adds so much more entertainment value. *Delight*

Furthermore:

This puzzle was just what I needed tonight. I was in the mood for fun, fast and simple. This one was very quick. In fact, it was solved before the song was done! *Ha*

Parting Thoughts/Conclusion:

The words, all 20 of them were related to the lyrics of the song. It was a relaxing puzzle to solve. And the music was good too!

Thank you for yet another enjoyable Word Search puzzle to solve.
It was just what I needed tonight. *Puzzle3*

Until next time--Puzzle on!

Hello Jimminycritic *Wave*

I'm here to review your entry at "The Bard's Hall Contest" Open in new Window. Thank you for entering our annual Cupid Slam bad poetry contest. It is the purpose to Slam that rascal so hard you knock him into next year's contest! *Laugh*

*Magnify* Let's See What We Have:

We have a planetary conflict between Cupid and well, Venus. Whatever, it's messed up and the one lover can't get passed all this on the computer. These online and outer space love interactions just have so many obstacles to overcome, all of which are worse with Cupid in the way. *RollEyes*

Furthermore:

This is bad. As it should be!

"Slow down my Jupiter,
Could you get any Cupider?" *Sick*

"Lo, you should’ve seen us,
Looking at your passion of Venus." *Shock2*

"Your pool is lurking with genius,
Henceforth called “Jeans pool.”

Sounds like a planetary storm of the ages. To think Cupid is behind all of this.

Parting Thoughts:


Rules were followed.

*CheckGr* Terrible, horrible Slam poem to vie for that one-star mark of infamy! *Ha*
*CheckY* Word Count given.
*CheckO* Cupid sufficiently slammed with a bit of a celestial twist! *Planet*

Conclusion:

This was bad! But ... was it bad enough? *Smirk* We shall see!

Until next time--Slam on!

WebWitch *Witch*

Hello Lonewolf

I am here as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest" Open in new Window.. Thank you for entering February's Cupid Slam one-star worthy bad poetry contest! *CupidArrowL*

Initial Thoughts:

Wow, Cupid sure has been a naughty one! To think that rascal does this stuff:

"His arrows do not pierce hearts;
they infect them, burrow deep, fester."

"he kind that turns devotion into desperation,
turns longing into a wound you pick at until it scars, until it opens again, until you don’t remember what it was before it bled" *Sick*


"Cupid does not bring love.
Cupid brings ruin."


Furthermore:

As bad as all that is with Cupid's messing up true love, I think he deserved more blame for his ill-placed fame. *Ha*

Your poem was delightfully bad, but could have hit that creature harder. He causes battles and destroys relationships ...the horrors! *TorchL*

Parting Thoughts:

The rules were followed. You wrote an intentionally bad poem to slam Cupid. Line count was given. The only thing missing is more disgust and venom thrown at Cupid, that failed cherub of love that he thinks is is. *RollEyes*

Conclusion:

Bad, indeed! But was it bad enough? We shall see!

Until next time--Slam on!

WebWitch *Witch*

Hello Sumojo *Wave*

I am here to review your terrible, horrible, nasty, ghastly, slimy, horrendous Cupid Slam, poem! Thank you for entering the February prompt at "The Bard's Hall Contest" Open in new Window. *Cupidheart*

The point of this annual contest is to find the best of the worst in Slam poetry to attain a one-star review.

Not all one-stars are the same. But it says a lot. We've actually found Slam Cupid poems deserving of a half-star, but it's not offered as a choice. *Ha*

You've followed the rules, thus far. Slam poetry, line count given and pretty bad upon first read.

Furthermore:

You brought tears to my eyes over these words of warning about Cupid on a day he seems to run astray. It's also a costly day! *Gem*

What I liked:

I liked the urgency of what this day produces. It puts lovers in dispute over gifts that just won't do. That can't be good at all!

Parting Thoughts:

Oh, yeah, this poem is bad and we know why ...Cupid's arrow can make love die!

Conclusion:

Bad, but it is it bad enough? We shall see when the baddest of the bad gets uncovered! For now, you can wear this star proudly. *Smirk*

Bad job! *Ha*

Until next time--Slam on!

WebWitch *Witch*

Hello Odessa Molinari

I am here reviewing your poem as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest" Open in new Window. Thank you for entering our Cupid Slam, 1-star bad poetry contest. *Cupidheart*

Let's Jump Right In:

This was some bad poetry, I must admit. But, more on the bad behavior of spouses who are louses. *Laugh*

What I didn't See:

I didn't see the mention of Cupid anywhere in this entry. Cupid is the one to be slammed, after all. *CupidArrowL*

What I Did See:

I saw some humor woven within the bad marriage situation with:

"Do your own chores
You lazy jerk."
"I'm not doing women's work."
She kicked him where any man would wince."

Observations:

FEBRUARY PROMPT: "SLAM" CUPID POETRY!

Write your "best" 1-Star-Rating worthy poetry!

RULES:
Must slam that beastly little arrow-flinger, CUPID!
Must be Poetry Only, any form or free verse -- doesn't matter so long as it's just plain AWFUL!
Line Count 60 or fewer. Place line count at the bottom of the poem.

Were the Rules Followed?

Actually it misses Cupid's target. *Sob*

Conclusion:

You can always have another stab at Cupid next year for Cupid Slam, 2026.

Until next time--Write on!

WebWitch *Witch*

Hi THANKFUL SONAL shall catch up! *Wave*

I am reviewing your poem as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest" Open in new Window.. Thank you for entering our Cupid Slam poetry contest in February. *Cupidheart*

Opening Thoughts:

Arranged marriage? Who needs Cupid. *Ha* Arranged or not who needs Cupid. *Laugh*

Further Thoughts:

You know, the way you lay out these poetic lines,
it makes one think about love divine.
It's not due to Cupid, that gives it success,
it's the matchmaker's choice that makes it best.
I try to imagine this sort of of love.
But, hey, without Cupid -- it's a sign from above.

Sorry, couldn't resist some corny rhyme! *Devilish*

Additional Thoughts:

Your poetry does give Cupid a what for by bashing his job, claiming he should never have anything to do with love.

For the purpose of this contest, we are looking for an intentionally bad poem Slamming Cupid. No hints or stints, just outright outrageous slamming. Cupid must feel the pain. Actually, we must feel Cupid's pain as we judge these entries. *Rolling*

Did you Slam that beastly creature enough?

"Cupid, dear, you are deranged" *Left* Definitely a true hit to Cupid.

However, that seemed to be the only downright slam to Cupid's arrow misfiring. *Sob*

Conclusion:

I hate to drop 1-star on an item that has redeemable quality to it. I find this poem to be a cultural sharing of choosing a spouse in marriage. It seen that way is quite a fine poem about the Indian culture. I think it stands well on its own without Cupid messing it up. *Writer*

Therefore, it misses the one-star mark because the poem itself shouldn't be dragged down with low ratings. *CupidArrowL*

Thank you so much for entering the contest. Hope to see you back next year with more ammo against Cupid himself. *CupidarrowR*

Until next time--Write on!

Regards,
WebWitch *Witch*

Hi AmyJo-Spring's finally here!

Thank you for creating a new, spring-themed Word Search puzzle for me to play! *Bigsmile*

Springing Right In:

I love how you create such interesting puzzles. It's not just the usual spring words to uncover on a tile. It has more depth about all the things that renew the spirit as winter wanes and the vitality of growth bursts forth when spring arrives.

More Sunny Thoughts:

You've chosen word groupings that fill the mind with imagery of all things looked forward to as the season arrives. New Projects To Start, Gardening, and I just love Dirt Therapy. Nothing says gardening like getting your hands dirty planting flowers and veggies as soon as frost threats end.

Rainbow Shines:

Spring showers bring flowers and also rainbows. I love the sights and scents of spring and the renewal of everything around me.

Conclusion:

I enjoyed this springtime Word Search puzzle. It had me hopping like the rabbits do this time of year trying to find a couple of those hidden words. However, in the end, I got them all.

Great job! Thank you so much for tagging me.

Until next time--Puzzle on!

Review of Blame Cupid  Open in new Window.

Hello Amethyst Angel 🍀

I'm here to review your poem as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest" Open in new Window.. Thank you for entering our February Cupid Slam contest! *Target2*

*Rabbit2*Let's Jump Right In:

The contest requires poetry written to really give Cupid the what have you in form of slamming that trouble making character who is out to mess with love and relationships. He's not all candy and flowers. He does raise higher expectations in couples that cannot be met. He has made many miserable when February rolls around. *HeartBroken*

Further Thoughts:

Your poem does indeed blame Cupid for broken hearts and families. Selfishness seems to be high on the list of reasons whereby one half of a couple seeks true romance while the other half seeks temporary indulgence. *Cupidheart*

Furthermore:

Your poem is well written. I find it flawless as far as a poem showing Cupid's relationship to misery from his mismatching.

What I'd Like to have Seen: *EyesLeft*

I'd like to have seen Cupid getting the hammer dropped on him. I want him insulted, bashed without mercy. I want him left a shriveled hunk of jelly-belly physique in worn down diaper. *Pin*

*EyesRight* What I saw:

I saw what is a fine poem. Too fine to be saddled with 1-Star. It needs to be read and appreciated for the truth woven within.

Parting Thoughts:

This poem is too good to be rated down. I wouldn't want to spoil the high ratings already received by doing that.

Conclusion:

Therefore, I am agreeing with the ratings already visible because I found genuine philosophical poetic muse running through each of the lines.

I must say this poem is too good for the prompt of this contest which seeks 1-star worthy poetry. *Sob*

But I really loved it for what it says about the truth surrounding Valentine's Day expectations that may never be met. *CupidArrowL*

Wonderful! But 1-star it will not be.

Thus ...5-stars is where it should be.

Until next time--write on!

Regards,
WebWitch *Witch*

Review of Prayermantis  Open in new Window.
In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (5.0)
Hi Fyn

This poetic item popped up on the random Read & Review!

*Grasshopper* Hopping Right IN:

I love the mantis day way of knowing your prayers will be answered because as your grandmother said, "it meant someone was really praying hard for me and that something I needed I soon would see--" What a beautiful idea that is. But, better still, I love how it did work out the way your grandmother said it would. *RockingChair*

Further Thoughts:

You describe to the reader in your poetry not just seeing one praying mantis, actuallybut five of them on that same day. What are the odds? *Die1*

Your prayers were answered with a very industrious day of corresponding with potential authors needing your expertise, as well requests for your books. It sounds like a day filled with some successful correspondence. *Busy*

Parting Thoughts:

Your poem of three stanzas, five lines each was rich with melodious words, and wonderful flow. It spelled out the special day it would be because of the spotting five praying mantises on that day. Five lines, five praying mantises. It's very Zen. *Yinyang*

I found a bit of lightheartedness woven within the lines. The reader feels the connection between a grandmother's words and the granddaughter's belief in them, and the knowledge that indeed, prayers would be answered. They were answered in the concluding stanza of the poem.

Conclusion:

I enjoyed the imagery that came to my mind's eye. I could picture the praying mantises and where they showed up to connect with you, letting you know what a special day it would be. *Parrot*

Great job! *Rose*

Until next time--write on!

Regards,
WebWitch *Witch*

Hello StephBee

Initial Thoughts:

I saw this item advertised on the Newsfeed. The funny thing is I replied with a request for your to make a Word Search puzzle from this story. I am thrilled that you did exactly that. I had mentioned that I would read this story after solving the Word Search Puzzle, which I had done ... so here I am! *Ha*

Further Thoughts:

I felt Kala's horror come forth at the prospect of a cold, loveless, day of conception whereby 3 royal guards are assigned the duty of producing their seed so she can be inseminated by the High Priest. As if that isn't bad enough, there has to be witnesses to the act. Sick rituals --sick customs, indeed. *Sick*

Observations:

Kala had a suspicion why her mother had called her, and it while it was something she was anticipating, she’d hoped she’d have more time.

Servants yielded the hallway to her as she approached the royal receiving room. Kala poked her tough against her cheek, trying to not show that anxiety that thrummed her bones. Her tough Is that the word you wanted to use?


Parting Thoughts:

I believe Rua gave her the perfect alternative to having strangers becoming the father of her future child. I sure hope the timing was right on this highly speculated time for success in conception.

Conclusion:

Interesting story introducing the reader to some barbaric form of conception practices.

Good job!

Until next time--Write on!

WebWitch *Witch*

Hi StephBee *Wave*

Thank you so much for creating this Word Search puzzle based on your story! What a terrific idea that was! *Angelic*

What I loved:

I love how you introduce the reader to your story. I do have it saved and plan on getting to it when I have a chance.

I loved the exotic places. It was nice to visit them even if only by finding them on the tile.

More Thoughts:

I know I'm doing this a little backwards as I should have read the story first. But, now I have my curiosity piqued and have to find out more about this couple.

Your WS puzzle consisted of 25 words to uncover. Most of the longer words were an easy find. The one that kept me searching was "rua." That word had me hopping all over the tile for the longest time. Finally, I found that which drove me batty ...rua! What a world it must be for Kala trying to find her Rua. He's quite the hider! *Rolling*

More of More:

I can't believe how fast you put this puzzle together after my request on the Newsfeed. Good job on this. Plus it was created on MY birthday ... the day I was created! *Ha*

From the Bamboo Forests to the ocean breeze of the South Pacific, I had a lovely time peeking into the interesting places that are enjoyed by Kala and Rua.

Wonderful fun, Steph! Thank you so much. *Delight*

Until next time--Puzzle on! *Puzzle2*

Regards,
WebWitch *Witch*

Review of Dear Me 2025  Open in new Window.
In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | N/A (Review only item.)
Hello ♥HOOves♥

I found this item recently and just now took the time to read and review it.

Initial Thoughts:

I immediately knew this would be a good read just from reading the first line. I so agree with not making resolutions in the New Year. A tight list is best, I think.

Many larger lists are doomed to fail. Those long-lists can be so out of reach or get boring after the first month go by. We no-resolution peeps refuse to bore ourselves by pretending those words on a long list will ever be completed on that particular year when they've been ignored for decades! Small and manageable is the way to go. *ThumbsUp*

Further Thoughts:

I L-O-V-E-D reading your encouraging list of small changes. I also loved that you removed any guilt attached to anything that was not completed on a day. It was wise to keep forgiveness alive and well even if not one chore on that list was done in any day.

Parting Thoughts:

Your item, which I see is an entry for the Dear Me, official contest has another thing about it I loved ... it's concise. There's no need to write a couple thousand words waxing poetic about what one needs to do to accomplish a to-do list that may or may not be practical to get done. I like realism! This story definitely weaves life and the tolls it presents and how everything can change life in a most dramatic way. Healing takes much time and patience. And it's solely an individual pace of progress. You paint a vivid picture of how difficult life has been going on without mott. *Heartbroken*

Conclusion:

I found your light of hope for each day you move forward. You have protected your health and heart and spirit from expecting failure simply by taking of control what you can or cannot do each day on that list. *TorchR*

This is one of the best Dear Me stories I've read. It is so relatable as it deals with aging and physical restraints. Boy, do I understand. *Strong*

Wonderful job with this item! *Floral3*

Until Next time--Heal on!

Regards,
WebWitch *Witch*

Hi Ichabod Crane-writing-reading.

What Brought Me Here:

I was perusing your portfolio and found more Word Searches I haven't solved, yet. This is one of them. Imagine, it survived from January! *Laugh*

Further Thoughts:

This Word Search puzzle consists of 17 words to uncover, all pertaining to the song Angel Eyes by The Jeff Healey Band. Of course I enjoyed listening to the video while solving the puzzle.

For the most part, the puzzle was a quick and easy solve. Of course I had the little hidden word to get out of the way within words already solved. That word is "me" which spanned two already solved words which I had to pry out of its clutches and into the open!

Parting Thoughts:

Kudos on another love-themed songs from the Eighties, word search puzzle. It was fast and fun and entertaining with the music playing. *Bigsmile*

Conclusion:

Great job! Thanks again for creating so many of these for me to enjoy over the past few months. *Cool*

Until next time--Puzzle on!

Regards,
WebWitch *Witch*
