For the past several years, starting on the first day of Spring I’ve posted a quotation about the season as my Facebook status. I love Spring so much that I needed to celebrate! My friends seemed to approve, which encouraged me because who doesn’t like “likes” on Facebook?
This year I decided to go one better. Having recently learned how to make quote pictures (with various easy-peasy websites), I’ve been illustrating the quotation of the day. I post just the words on my personal page, and the pictures on my blog page.
Because I want to be able to pin them as well, I’m collecting them all here. I took all the pictures myself, but I can’t take credit for the words! I hope you enjoy them.
