I only need to add text or watermark for posting on my blog.. 10 images a month is not enough..

I LOVE STENCIL! Have been using it for years now and it keeps getting better. There are a few things I would love to see - like making the fonts more dynamic - be able to make word art (make curves, put pictures in the font, etc.) But all in all I am very pleased!
