    National Cereal Day
    March 07

    .....Did you know, that until the 1890's people started their day
    with eggs and meat, plus a cigarette and a cuppa joe --
    an unhealthy blend of protein, cholesterol, nicotine, and caffeine.
    .....Cereal and milk was promoted as a healthy breakfast alternative.
    .....In late 1971, General Mills began production of Count Chocula,
    a chocolate cereal to be served with milk.
    .....Early cereal box designs for Count Chocula featured a familiar
    vampire image, and the distinctive voice on the TV commercial
    depicted the same Dracula icon, who was?? -- Yes! Bela Lugosi

    I just LOVE your series of Vampire Holiday cards. Seriously, I just WANT. THEM. ALL!!!!!!! < grinning demonically >
     
    FANG-TASTIC cards received from jo.on.the.go.
    More creative, thinking outside the box ATCs.
    LOVE all of them, but "Topless" is my fave!!!
     
    Vicki, I LOVE all of those, especially National Watch Day! I just have to laugh thinking about a vampire with all those "hot" watches under his cape.
     
    I didn't expect your returns to arrive until Saturday.
    I am glad mail is getting back to "normal"
    I am delighted you are happy with your returns, and had fun.

    All participants were early mailers, so when all the cards were in, and no other people signed up, returns went out early.

    I had all the returns in by early August and considered mailing out.
    But there were some lurkers who thought they wanted to participate so I waited another couple of weeks.
    But no further participants so I mailed returns early.
    ENJOY!
     
    Vicki - this was one wonderful swap. I am making my way through the cards created by others to pass out reps. I received some great cards by Texvelis, LuAnnP, allegrae, Ancient Planter, Boots and of course Vampire supreme Vicki Z.

    Thanks to everyone for participating.
    All returns have already reached their new homes so I will be shutting down this thread shortly.
