Hello everyone,
Hope your weekend's off to a good start! It's raining here, so we're holed up in the house today, listening to music and poring through seed catalogs as we plan for our garden this year.
I took a moment to check my email earlier and received a note from my father-in-law that Picnik, the free (and paid, for certain features) photo editing Web site, will be closing on April 19th.
Since I don't have Photoshop, I've relied on Google's Picasa and Picnik to edit photos for Carolina Country Living from the beginning. So the news that Picnik will no longer exist in three months is a bit of a bummer to hear.
However, from now and until then, Picnik is offering all its premium photo-editing features for free!
I'll be taking advantage of this offer and I thought some of you might want to do the same! Visit Picnik here.
And now before I resume laying on the couch by the woodstove, I wanted to share these camellias I clipped yesterday at my parents' house. (Photos edited using Picnik!)
We're having a freakishly warm winter so far, and these camellias are in full bloom. I placed a few in a thrifted silverplated sugar bowl in my bathroom and they are a welcome touch of color in the middle of winter.
