Inspired by Quotes


As we meander a Path of Positivity, we are challenging you to create something inspired by Quotes about Family/Friends.  Of course, you can share anything positive you like, the theme is always optional.

Remember, you may share any sort of artistic medium over at PoP:  writing, cards, journals, scrapbooking, painting, sewing, baking, needle crafts, etc as long as it is positive.  The theme is always optional.  

I chose this quote from the PoP list of quotes: “Having somewhere to go is home. Having someone to love is family. And having both is a blessing.” — Author Unknown  

I felt this would make the best anniversary card for my guy.
