  2. Thank you, Jo-Anne! I'm guilty of having a tin full of buttons (I don't think there are any teeth in there, though... ;-)

  4. Ooh, love that little twist - you can read it evil or endearing... We will never know! Great prompt.

    1. Thank you! Maybe it's a combination of evil and endearing--just like Auntie. ;-)

  7. Oh collector of teeth... sounds like there might be a skeleton in the closet too.

    Nicely written! :)
