What can I say about The Sleeping Willow, that her hats don’t already say for themselves.  They are just incredible! 

There are so many wonderful knits out there but these just really stood out to me.  They are all so unique and are one of a kind.  All of these knits are made with incredible hand spun yarn and use the most beautiful colors combinations!  And not only are there one of a kind knits, there are also beautiful upcycled creations.  From pixie hats to beanies, to headbands and hoods, you can’t go wrong when visiting The Sleeping Willow! 

Be sure to check out her facebook page (which is exclusive to photographers) to be the first to know about sales and when new creations are added to the shop!

 So, Who Wants to WIN a $25 Gift Certificate to The Sleeping Willow?!?

Hello!   I hope you all survived Black Friday!  I hear there were some AMAZING deals going on yesterday!  But don’t worry, if those sales didn’t last past yesterday I have something to cheer you up today!  Because that’s how we roll over here at PI!

Today, I am so happy to introduce one of my all time (and very first most favorite photographer) Erin Cobb!  If you have not seen her work (tsk, tsk), make sure to check her photography work out!  She is pure inspiration!  I think the biggest thing that has always drawn me towards her work is how clean, fresh, fun, and colorful her images always are!   From the minute I became addicted to her blog….(yes, addicted….have you read it?)…..my passion for photography began!   Myself, along with many others have stalked…uh, I mean followed her work and have always wondered HOW she does it?  I am guessing her head spun from how many emails she received from photographers asking her HOW she got her photos to look the way they do!    So to everyone’s surprise and pure happiness, Erin Cobb released the Clean Color Workflow Video showing you exactly HOW she does it!!!   Now we all don’t have to wonder…..she actually TELLS & SHOWS us how from beginning to end  in her 2 hour video tutorial!  And the best part about it is that it isn’t an exact science!  You can customize her workflow to what works best for you!  Love that.   She offers three options to choose from – one for Full Photoshop, one for Photoshop Elements, and a bundle of both!

Here is a recent photo of mine using some of the Clean Color Editing techniques that I picked up from the tutorial!  I can honestly say I use something from that tutorial EVERY time I edit….it is packed full of awesome info!!  Isn’t this little guy just dreamy?

So…….who wants to win their very own Clean Color Workflow Video Bundle????

To enter, just go to Erin Cobb’s Facebook Page and LIKE her!  Leave her some comment love telling her we sent you!  Then come back here and leave a comment telling us you are now a fan!   If you can’t wait for the giveaway to end to get your hands on this fabulous tutorial, click here to go buy your own NOW!
