How do you keep doing those lacy thingies, anyway? I tried and ended up with what looks like Alaskan totem poles… ---

Hold your mouse button down and “scribble” a lot, then release. Do this several times and it should get finer and lacier. Totem poles… hrm! ---

I’ve gotten into a mini-correspondence with a fellow snowflake making addict. She seems pretty smart and witty. It turns out that she’s a Tom Lehrer fan, and she picked up the standard “42” Douglas Adams reference. I told her about the SDMB–let’s see if she joins. Her nom-de-snowflake, BTW, is Laurel. She’s in Houston. ---

I did some last night, don’t know how to post them here, I just put them under my username - I used SDMB as location, but mine never show up when I do the search… nor do Silver Fire’s and several others who I _know_ made flakes… it says it found 382, but only shows a handful. Foo. ☹ ---

Foo. ☹ Irritating, isn’t it? You can narrow the search by putting in a location AND a name (or part of a name), though. Except you can’t now because the website is getting all flaky and appears to have been snowed in. And to post a specific flake, take this address and replace the number on the end with the one corresponding to your creation: [http://www.popularfront.com/snowdays/index.html?id=226931](http://www.popularfront.com/snowdays/index.html?id=226931) ---

I forgot to mention, did you all notice the sky changes according to the time of day? Mine’s showing twilight right now, which is just about right. ---

Man, I’m so grateful for that site. It absolutely ROCKS!!! What better way to waste all your days until the holidays? Maybe _this_ is what we should have in mind to celebrate?? Every day, at least one snowflake to make someone else smile. And to amuse yourself, of course, when you can’t make angels on the lawn (like here in east Texas). 😃 So in other words, I’ve created a bazillion (well, not really, but I just love saying “bazillion” :p) both under this name and my real one, Kemi, so as to not clog up and annoy everyone else by truly having more than anyone on there. At least under the same username, that is. 😉 I do have one more alias, but I’ll never telllllLL. ::: go ahead, picture Brittany Murphy here – I’ll wait ::: I also did one just for you guys here. Specifically. The location is: The capitol of the Dope and I’d be thrilled if y’all stopped by. Just to comment on how un-artistic compared to the rest, which are _so_ friggin’ amazing. Needless to say, many come from this lovely, wonderful place. Especially those that look like actual drawings. Has me shaking my head and wondering HOW was that done? Anyhow, that said, Happy, Happy and Safe Holidays! Share the love and spread the peace (not that one). :eek: Hugs from another resident hippie… faithfool ---
