I did, like, 20 last night under the name “Bubba.” Did two this morning under “Scribble.” Man, this really _is_ addictive. ---

It worked! It’s snowing outside now! Huge wet flakes for the first of December! I’m going to go try and catch some and see if you guys made them… ---

I dedicated my first one to the SDMB. It’s not the greatest. I definitely improved on my second one. Man, I love this thing! ---

My snowflakes kick ass. Except the one where I just wrote “HI” on it. (Everyone’s putting “SDMB” in the location, right?) ---

Cinnamon Little is having a blast at this snowflake maker! And I don’t have to pick up little bits of paper off the floor! Yay! Hope everyone’s putting SDMB in the location because I’ve been looking at everyone else’s. And commenting on them. We have some really talented flakers here. **Silver Fire** , **Antigen** , and **Scribble** among others are blowing my mind! Thanks also for commenting on mine. It’s fun to see who’s looking at them. I’m going with themes now. So far I’ve done three faces, a couple of flowers, a menorah, a christmas tree, a guitar, and a reindeer that looks more like Bullwinkle. No monkey yet and Jerry Garcia is not as easy to flake as one might think… Oh well. Happy holidays all. 🙂 ---

I’m glad I got everyone else addicted too. I just did a search for SDMB and got 255 flakes! Some of them are amazing. You guys are so talented. Who did the cornflake one? That one cracked me up. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/create-your-own-snowflake/277291.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/create-your-own-snowflake/277291.md?page=4)
