Pioneer Woman Photography Assignment: Texture

Have you checked out Pioneer Woman’s photography assignments lately? I’ve been entering each week, and I LOVE looking through all the submissions from everyone else.

Pretty cool, huh? Thanks Pioneer Woman for encouraging me to stretch my Photoshop legs and learn some new tricks.
