Such a fun survey and I love how you were able to incorporate Aunt's Aren't Gentlemen. A very pleasant annual tradition.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Claire and will add that my dh and I laughed out loud at how you were able to get Dame Agatha for "your fear." :) Indeed!
ReplyDeleteLooked so fun I had to do it myself! :) http://phantomday.blogspot.com/2010/12/fill-in-books.html
