~Garden~
Note: The creation of this website was due to
my need to find a "cute" saying for a garden sign.
My mom is an avid gardener and I wanted
to paint a sign for her that she could put in her garden.
I wanted to find that "perfect little saying"....and
I couldn't find what I was looking for.
SO.....in 1999.......I created this website...
to help others find sayings easily.
