Thousand Words Thursday is the brainchild of Jen of
Cheaper Than Therapy.

Although this photo itself may not appear to say a "thousand" words, there are at least 100 words in its capture (most of which I won't get into.) I will say, though, that the dark spot in the background is a very angry dog who did not appreciate my early morning stop in front of his house. I couldn't help it; the sun was really working her magic on these tulips.
And speaking of magic, because I couldn't get that danged dog to show up in the photo, I decided to poke around in
Picnik, and I thought I would share with you the amazing stuff you can do with a simple photo and
Picnik. Here's the same photo with the Orton effect:

And with one of my favorites effects, Smudge....

I'm not a scrapbooker, but I can really see potential for scrapbookers with these and other effects. Here's Neon:

Pretty cool, huh? I may not have painting talent, but I enjoy pretending. If you want to see the real thing (real painting talent), visit
Charrette;
she doesn't cheat.
And I'm pretty sure she doesn't bite. :)
