Well, there's still a foot of snow on the ground around here, but I have spring fever . . . . . honestly, can't wait for some green grass and warm sunshine. But seeing how that's in short supply around here, I've had to make my own, haha! There's lots of spring goodness in this blog post, so read carefully!
For starters, I've heard your pleas and created a set of sunflare actions for Photoshop, the Sunshine Action set. This fabulous little set is similar to my Sunflare Presets for Lightroom 2 (though not identical), but instead works in Photoshop CS-CS4. This wonderful set will add a burst of sun instantly to any photo.
A before and after . . . . 
To see more details about this new set and view more before and after images, please visit http://shop.nicholeV.com. And of course, I can't launch a new action set without a coupon code, so enter this coupon code to receive 10% off your entire purchase of Flourish Emporium
products!

Also, due to high demand, I've added a few more workshops for
2010. I have opened up another Professional Workshop on August 5-7 in Salt Lake
City and new Lighting Workshops on July 16-17 and September
17-18. And best of all, I am
now offering my Lighting Workshops to everyone, even those who have never attended one of my
workshops in the past. But hurry! I expect that the Lighting Workshops will
fill quickly as they are limited to only 12 people. Visit http://workshops.nicholeV.com
to see all the details. And how's about a coupon code?! Enter this code at
checkout to receive $50 off your purchase of the Workshop in a Box:

All coupon codes will expire on Friday, April 16, 2010.
And what's even better than
owning the Workshop in a Box? Winning one for free, of course! The workshop in a box has been such a huge success that we're going to give one away for free. Yes, we're giving away a $549 {life as art} Workshop in a Box to one lucky person.
