Oh, boy! Snow Day! Beautiful snowflakes, Ms Bear, and how perfect is Thoreau's poem ~ each snowflake stars indeed!

I read your later comment about using PhotoShop brushes to create the snowflakes, and while most plug-ins that work in PhotoShop also work in PhotoImpactPro, alas! "brushes", as such, do not. I installed PhotoShop Elements about a year ago, so that I could take advantage of some of the things compatible with PS, that won't work in PI, but outside of playing with different brushes and a few edges I don't have in PI, I'm still not as comfortable as with PI. (Can't teach an old dog new tricks maybe. *Sigh*)

Anyway, you made a very lovely opening graphic out of nothing but snowflakes and text .... and that POEM! KUDOS! :)

You've got that right!

Thank you, ma'am. :-)

You know, I've done so little with brushes, except to use the standard ones to color in a background or erase something, but the pattern brushes are fun to play with. I'd say they are more like "stamps", though, than they are brushes. Anyway, that graphic was sure easy to make. Took no time at all.

I'm soooooo tempted to just sit here and visit, but I've got things to do. *sigh* So I will TTYL!

That is so cute, Billie! Its still freezing cold here. I just went up to the front porch and “there laid my memory.” I wondered where I lost ‘that’. LOL!

People seldom go to the front door, except strangers. FedEx brought this. People familiar with my house pull up in the driveway and lay a package, etc. down on the chair or at the door, if I am not here. All my friends come to this downstairs door..It could have been there yesterday. My son thinks this will really improve my computer’s performance. We hope so anyway. Am going to listen to President Bush’s speech at 8:00....makes me sad.
