Join me in an effort to spread literacy by posting pictures of your pets, cute animals, or natural backgrounds with the word “Read” written on it. Let’s make this go viral. Let’s encourage reading!
mycutegraphics.com Welcome to my first linky party! Please submit a link to your favorite blog post. There is a wealth of information out there.
