The next two photos were taken before the walls were painted.

Are you wondering how you're going to edit your photos once Picnik goes away? I've been a little concerned, but I figured the big girls (the experienced bloggers) would tell us what our options are; and that's exactly what's happening. The following links are some of the blogs I've stumbled across that have written about our photo editing options once Picnik goes away.
