 Get it, laugh, give it, get laughs, and do good all at the same time!




    The gift that diplomatically but directly confronts a common personality
    quirk that impairs the quality of a few (hopefully a few) of our relationships.  

    Doesn't it amaze you, when people think that just because we are honest,
    that we are stupid, simple-minded and incredibly gullible ???

    From politicians to those nearest and dearest to our hearts, oftentimes, the
    mere fact that we are honest, makes those, who aren't, think they don't have
    to bother to tell us good lies.

    It's downright insulting that those less ethical sorts, don't even bother to fib
    well, or can bother to get their whoppers straight!

    Here's how you can tell them either to improve, or give up the habit,
    because you're on to 'em.  A gift of My Liary, from you to them, is the
    indisputable proof of that.  It's a tool to help them hone their skills, so you,
    the giver,  may hope to remain in blissful ignorance of their failings some
    fine day, if they can't seem to amend this little character flaw.

    It's 82 pages (and one of the authors or both, Luann Overstreet or Susan
    Rhoads, will autograph it, if you wish):

    There are quotes scattered throughout.  All funny, all gently
    satirical, and all pithy.

    These tidy sayings are concise comments on the art of
    fibbing, which clearly has a long and famous history.  The
    quote go back about 3000 years.

    Illustrations from cartoonists, of the late 1800's and the early
    1900s, have been added as well.  These artists were popular
    in English and American magazines of that period.  The
    comical and quirky pictures were selected to illustrate and
    reinforce the comical take on lying in the quotations used in
    this handy Journal.


















      "The best liar is he who makes the smallest amount of lying
    go the   longest way." -- Samuel Butler (1612-1680)

    The quotes, in themselves, form a testimonial through the ages --
    proving that amateur liars are as old as the ability to communicate.   
    Career liars, of course, may exist but there's no proof.  Professional
    liars don't get caught and so their actual existence remains elusive.  


    Ranging from the earliest written records, including the dates and
    authors who coined them, the bits of verse and comments upon
    those untalented beings -- who were caught -- provide a humorous
    history of the trait.


Some quotes are newly written and unique to this journal:

    As usual, to get your own, we are suggesting a minimum donation of
    15.00, more is fine, plus postage.

    You can select who you wish donate to from the garden and 50% of
    the first 500 copies (of the limited run of 1,000) goes to one of them,
    the other 50% of the rest goes to Elfinspell to sponsor new artists and authors
    to be published here.

    Since the banking industry is the sponsor and support of identity theft
    we don't take credit cards.  Send check or money order, and we'll send
    the book.  Or we can send it COD, which still exists.  But it costs extra.

    To get yours, let us know here, by writing us.

         Also let us know, if you want it autographed, and to whom.  Both signatures
    require mailing between the authors, but that's cheap (a couple of bucks) and
    you can afford it, otherwise Luann can autograph it for you for free!



    So head on back to the garden now, come back though, because we will have
    some more Liary related accessories soon!
