Oh, good sweet lord, I’ve got end-of-semester papers to write, people! Why did I click?

Anyway. My pride is now number 230529. All mine are under the name “Ninjachick”

**pig**  
**?**  
**wagon wheel**  
**spider web**  
**choo choo**

You are far too good at this. I have to ask - do you a stylus that you’re using? Cause if you’re doing that with a mouse, I’m afraid of you 😉 Seriously though, either way, amazing stuff!

Everyone here is so creative! I get kinda bored trying to be intricate and end up just scribbling…

Amazing talent here. I keep ooohing and aaahhhing. A random one I clicked on was by Edward Scissorhands (no location); it disappeared as I watched.

I did a search by name and he’s done 61. The 4 I clicked on were all different, but were all disappearing snowflakes.

I’m still a beginner. The ones I did last night are by GT in Ohio; tonight’s are GT and have SDMB as the location.

GT

Er, I know my asking this is gonna make me sound stupid. What is a stylus? Is that a computer thing? This piddly dink compuker is all I can handle.

I just did a reindeer one. But it looks more like a doily than a snowflake.

Your reindeer one is pretty cool. But it turns out I was thinking that the ones BearFlag did were yours. Those things are phenomenal.

I’ve managed to keep my output to [one flake](http://www.popularfront.com/snowdays/index.html?id=226931). I’m rather fond of it.
