Do you know who first showed me ‘falling snow’ and told me how he did it? Tonkin! Many years ago on the Canteen he posted it and I [being new to gifs] was fascinated.

Now I have a variety of them and do table posts with the transparent snow over scenes too.

It is a lot of fun. I thought I would never learn some of the things I do today without thinking. Billie taught me really well with tables, graphics, fonts and the falling snow and many other things. She’s a very patient teacher!!

Tonk was helpful to me, too, potlatch. Years ago I'd already been making animated gifs and doing tables, but he was the one who helped me understand the only way we could put an animated gif on top of a jpeg was to use the jpeg as a table background for the animation. I didn't find the beautiful, transparent animated snow gif we've been using at Amy's until a few years ago, but it's fun to bring it out every winter because it literally lights up a snowy scene! :)
