This is awesome Lisa!!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen the letter ‘X’ used so much in one space. Especially that list of artists, that was tricky on the eyes.
Thanks Rita, and greetings from X-Land! It’s a nice place to visit- just don’t drink the water.
Wow, that’s a lot of focal points! ;D
I’m impressed.
Could you please contact ken@1800blogger.com
Someone has been making use of the encyclopedia and dictionary, or, if you know this stuff, you would be really good at crossword puzzles.
Thanks Meg! I know there’s a lot of focal points, but at my age it’s difficult for me to stay focused on anything very long.
Bill- X-word puzzles aren’t my best subject. I never understand the clues. Reference materials are a girls best friend. I heard somewhere that knowledge is power, but I haven’t figured out how to connect it to the light bulbs yet.
Lisa B. you are almost there - let’s get on the the Y’s. Then if you haven’t burnt out on this series maybe the Greek alphabet?
The Greek alphabet?!? The only Greek I know is pi, but I never met a pi I didn’t like!
