maevebran -  I received your very nice Christmas card today.  Thanks so much :)  I'm sending yours out and you should have it in a few days. 

Also received your card, suzotchka ... You should have your card in a few days too. :)

In other news... finally made an animated snow icon that works okay and is under 40kb in size.  It's really tougher to do than I imagined with Animation Shop.  Took a screencap from A Very Supernatural Christmas... I couldn't resist.  Heeeeee. :D  Hopefully it's not too spoilery.  I did make one that would match up with my header a bit more but I have to tweak it a bit to get it under 40kb.  I figured this was a nice one to use in the Christmas season.

Thanks to stargazercmc for the tips :)
