6 months of ProjectEdit365

I started ProjectEdit365 in February, so today marks six months that I have been editing a picture a day! The time has flown. I have thoroughly enjoyed the whole process of the project: choosing the pictures editing each one posting the edits (on several different platforms) printing out some of the pics It doesn’t take upContinue reading “6 months of ProjectEdit365”
