    ... I was already a fan of her collections, a friend of mine turned me onto her page. I am so new to all this, a new photographer, a new PSE/CS4 editor, and I am looking forward to all the extra things I will be able to do with her and others actions.

    I shared this giveaway on my FB page, http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home/pages/Brandon-FL/PJ-Photography/188893701537?ref=mf ... I am hoping this links works, it's under PJ Photography

  199. Really beautiful actions. I would have to say my favorite is probably the cosmopolitan from the color and haze set. It looks natural with just a punch of that "something special". The vintage set is also really beautiful at achieving a very different look.
