[Purty](http://snowflakes.lookandfeel.com/viewflake.php?id=751839) and fun! I thought I’d messed mine up, but when I opened it it was very nice – although not as nice as some of the beauties in the gallery. I’m gonna make some more! ---

[here’s](http://snowflakes.lookandfeel.com/viewflake.php?id=752706) one of mine - I made some last night and some this morning, because it’s fun. There is a problem, though. I now have an incredible desire to pull out some paper and a pair of scissors and make some real ones for my balcony doors. I may have to…paper scraps on the floor be damned! ---
