For the Love of Blogs

Hi bloggers!!! I’m Missy from ‘ If it’s not ok...then it’s not the end... ’  I have been featured on this fabulous site before but this time around I’m here for a different reason! First of all, I have a brand new look and with that comes a new button for you all to share. I thought I’d try and make it slightly more ‘arty’. I hope you like! I am beginning a new weekly feature on my blog called "Quote of the day Monday" where as you can probably guess I will be sharing quotes I’ve discovered. This has been going for the past couple of weeks and is nice for a bit of inspiration at the start of a week! Most times each quote will have a little explanation as to why I chose it. This is where you come in, I would love to get a ‘ community ’ feel to it by asking you to share your favourite quotes and why. I suppose you could look at it as a guest post! I will of course link to your blog and then the post link will go to my main page to form a back catalogue. Another SOS call is ...
