Now that's a fine summary VP. I think there is a word for what you have done but I can't remember - this brain is going to hurt until I can. Will check Blotanical out - thanks for the link.

VP said...

Tina, Rose and MMD - thank you :D

Anna - was Acrostic the word you're looking for? Do check Blotanical out - you'll find lots of your faves in there...

Thanks For 2 Day said...

Hi VP,
I was just reminded of this Blotanical 'assignment' as I read through your blog. It's the last day of November...I suppose there is still time for me?! Yours is really creative. I just wanted to let you know I've been enjoying reading your posts and will certainly be back! Take care! Jan

Colleen said...

I love the way you did this, VP. And I agree with all of it!

VP said...

Hi Jan - Thanks for your visit! I've put an answer over at yours. You have until 15th December to enter...

Colleen - Thank you!

Oops! I was being scatterbrained, and had not read the part where Stuart said he drew numbers. I"m glad I went back to the newsletter and read that.

Sorry about that,
Sue

VP said...

No problem Sue - it was nice to be congratulated anyway!
