  You are the best example about how we can do our best with just using simple materials. Your work is always so perfect and professional that I would have never thought that you have no idea of how to use Photoshop or any other "professional" photo editing program.That was a pleasant surprise! I'm sure that once you'll learn your way around Photoshop you'll create miracles! :-)

  Angela: hehehehehe that's why I decided to show it, because sometimes we get caught up with the lure of perfectionism + forget that we all have a splendidly ugly + messy behind the scenes were we let no one in. But I figures, heyyyy what they heck, I'll show people I'm not a fancy pants Photoshop-er hehehe maybe they can relate.
  
  Glad to hear it worked :)

  Hi Mayi! One of the tips you mentioned when giving my shop a quick evaluation, was to brighten up my photos so the colors stood out more. I'm not ready to invest the time or money for photoshop or any other editing software, so have been wondering how I was going to do that.
  
  Now that I've seen this screencast, I realize that it's very likely I have the ability to edit colors in Microsoft Office Picture Manager, which is what I use to crop & re-size my photos. Yay!

  Ashley: Ohhhh you totally can do it the DIY way. I don't know much about Microsoft Office Picture Manager but I know about a really cool site online called Picnik that's entirely free + lets you edit your photos. Check it out! You might love it. Let me know how it goes.
