Welcome! Ole! Guten Tag!
Here's my thought...


By now you may have guessed that I love to learn. When I came across the following, thanks Zoe, how could I resist. I thought of you, right away and wanted to share it.

This is a quiz for people who know everything !!! I found out in a hurry that I didn't. These are not trick questions. They are straight questions with straight answers. No cheating! If you get the answer wrong, you'll probably remember it even longer. Use the information at a party to impress you friends with your knowledge. That could be another post. Useless Factoids... should I do that one next? In the mean time, no grades are given for your answers, although you might want to come back later and see how many of the answers you remember.
This is just for fun!

Pictured are of handmade bracelets from Beads I View by Pat found in my bracelet/anklet category pages. I love to make bracelets that are lightweight and fun to wear. The first is a Swarovski crystal bracelet/anklet in deep siam red and crystal ab beads on stretch material, the next is a hex style woven stretch bracelet using faceted shiny brown/bronze beads, and lastly one of my favorite spiral rope style beaded bracelets in a beautiful capri blue color.
