Thanks for visiting today!  Hope you enjoyed these motivational quotes.  Did you notice that there were two centerpieces on the table?  One was prepared with white azaleas, and white spider mums, and the second with pink azaleas and dogwood (even though the dogwood flopped after a small amount of time).  I used mini vases of pink carnations and white azaleas on the first table also.  Hope you had a wonderful Easter, and I am looking forward to spending some time visiting with you!
