BlogHer13 Photos
Janice was at BlogHer13 in Chicago and took photos during the conference and at many of the parties and events. We edited all the photos in PicMonkey. We ran many through their quick filters and added fun embellishments.
During the conference we shared our photos on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

PicMonkey UDPATES Collage and Editor
