Picture Me a Giveaway!

Since Heather is out having some fun in Nashville I thought I'd hijack her blog a bit and give you guys some information on a great online photo-editing software that is SO easy to use.

Before I do that, "hi!" - I'm Sarah from Soxy's Diamond. My little neglected blog is a spin off from my Red Sox blog (which I'm embarrassed to say is also in a neglected state right now. Anyhoo...). My blog talks about my life with some pictures, recipes and crafts thrown in here and there. Stop on by and say hello, I'm hoping to keep up with it a little bit more now that the busy summer is settling down.

Now to the good stuff.


I wanted to give you guys a quick tutorial of Picnik, an online photo-editing software site (Picnik is owned by Google. Of course it is, because we all know Google is taking over the world). www.Picnik.com is actually a free tool!! However, like all good things that seem to good to be true, a lot of the actions that Picnik offers are part of their premium service. The premium service costs about $25 for a year - which is really reasonable.

Here's a quick before-after pic I edited using Picnik.



And to prove to you just how easy this was, I threw together this quick tutorial (this video will only be live for about a week so make sure to check it out now!!)

Free online screencasting tool

How does it look?

I plan on adding more tutorials to my site - I'd love to highlight some of the hundreds of other actions Picnik offers.

Now if you've made it this far, I've got something great to share with you. I'm going to give away three free one month trials to the Picnik premium service! All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this post - I'm not going to make you visit my blog, follow me on Twitter, show me what you've done using Picnik's free actions...none of that. Just leave a comment here telling Heather how much you miss her and hope she's having a wonderful time (but will she please just get her butt back here b/c some of her guest-bloggers are really questionable ;o) !!!)

I'll let Heather determine how to pick the winners when she gets back :) Check back soon!!!

{Heather here!} Since I can't stay away from you guys, I think that we'll let random. org pick from one of your comments. I don't care what you guys comment about, but once you comment you're entered! Well, I'm back to a fussy baby that is unsure of his surroundings. Fun, fun! ;-)
