Posted by MyrddinFyre (Member # 2576) on :
Way too much fun!
Edit: Everyone should be "Hatrack" for the "from" category so we can see yours!
Posted by ReikoDemosthenes (Member # 6218) on :
Very fun... although I don't know why I'd want to see more snow than necessary considering that I've moved out of the temperate corner of the country.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
This is the kind of snow I like!
Thanks, Shan.
Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
My pleasure! Nathan and I are fascinated. We've lost count of how many flakes we've created today. *grin*
*awe*
What beautiful snowflakes you all make!

Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
*bump*
Becauase EVERYONE should make a snowflake, or 2, or more.
*smile*
Posted by MandyM (Member # 8375) on :
I am so addicted to this now! Thanks!
Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
*bump*
Such a soothing task . . .

This is fun. Posted by JenniK (Member # 3939) on :
Oooh! I can send it to my mom with a message that says: "It's SNOWING!!!" She hates the snow - it's a dirty 4 letter word! (and she lives in the frozen tundra of Massachusetts where it does actually snow)

Have a flaky day!
Posted by Dead_Horse (Member # 3027) on :
Today I saw 3 by CT of Hatrack!
I've been signing mine rain in ohio. I like to cut snowflakes, but paper ones make such a mess...not to mention wasting trees. This is so much fun.
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
*grin
I will look for yours, Dead Horse.
Posted by Dead_Horse (Member # 3027) on :
And a couple of Tante Schvester's!
Posted by MandyM (Member # 8375) on :
I made a face one! I love love love this site! I saw CT's and Tante's too.
Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
Holy smokes . . . errhh . . .snowflakes! There are 113 beautifyl snowflake creations from denizens of Hatrack currently falling!
CT -- you are a snowflake fiend!
*smiles*
*races back to look at more pretty snowflakes*
Edit to add: I really really really want to know how people make the face flakes . . . my best efforts only seem to come through scribbling. Hmmm.

(Thanks! )
From some of the comments on the flakes, looks like there are instructions at MisterX.ca.

Shan, you have some very gorgeous flakes as well.
Belle, MandyM, Tante ... so many flakeheads. *grin
Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
This is so fun!
Posted by MightyCow (Member # 9253) on :
Very cool! I'm sending my family snowflake emails. I hope they make some and send them back.
Posted by libertygirl (Member # 8761) on :
CT I was randomly perusing snowflakes and I saw yours! It was really pretty!
Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
*bump*
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Ketchup Princess just did 3. You can find them by searching her screen name and/or Hatrack. Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
Ohhhh! You tell Ketchup Princess her snowflakes are beautiful! *smile*
P.S. I just made Ketchup Princess a flower snowflake. *smile*
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Wow! Some person made one that looks like dogs, and it looks like their mouths are moving, like barking, when you view it! Search #2767131 to see it.
Posted by Flaming Toad on a Stick (Member # 9302) on :
Wow, this is addictive.
Posted by Flaming Toad on a Stick (Member # 9302) on :
I was so proud of my 10 flakes, then I saw that CT had 55. [/mumbling]
Posted by Uprooted (Member # 8353) on :
Hey, I didn't know about this thread. I linked to the site from Uncle Orson's review (on Rhino Times, not here yet), and I was just clicking on random flakes when one of them I clicked on said "Breyer, Hatrack" which made me come in here and before I posted an embarrassing "Hey breyerchic is this you?" thread I saw this one.
Anyway, cool site--I don't think I'll try one until I'm at a computer w/ a mouse, though.
Posted by Flaming Toad on a Stick (Member # 9302) on :
I've done all of mine with a touchpad on a laptop. It shows. at me.
Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
oohhhh . . . is that what my trouble is? a touchpad?
Posted by Uprooted (Member # 8353) on :
I went ahead and tried a few and I don't think I've done any worse with my touchpad than I would have with a mouse, to be honest.
I liked one of the random ones I saw and so I did a search on that person -- K8 -- and he/she has done over 3,000 snowflakes (either that or there are a number of K8s creating snowflakes). Some cute dogs among them. I suspect this is the same person who did the barking dogs ketchupqueen mentioned, although I haven't gone back and done the search to confirm.
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
Ohhhhh myyyyy word! (In best Shirley Temple fashion *grin*)
We had a bunch of folk making the paper ones at my house last weekend, and I don't know which is more fun -- the ones that fall completely apart at the kitchen table or the one's on-line, where you can at least take back whatever snip destroyed the flake.
And in the absence of real snowflakes, it's just a fun site to go play on.
EDIT TO ADD:
Holy Flakes, 'rack folks!
I typed in Hatrack on the search button and there are over 300 beautiful flakes by Jatraquera/o's! Way to go!

As I was making one, I saw one of Shan's new ones falling. This is so cool.

Yay for randomness!
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
Update: the website, Popular Front, is donating to Salvation Army on a tiered system -- the more flakes, the more money to charity.
Cut, cut, cut away.

OK I have to admit something silly.
I am a member of an ebay board and we are doing this Christmas giveaway thing. Each day someone does a contest and whoever wins gets a prize. Yesterday was my day so I did a prettiest snowflake contest linking to this site. Those ladies made 1110 snowflakes!!!!! They had their husbands and children doing them too! One woman did 140 herself! It took me hours to go through them and I still didn't see them all. Hubby picked the winner, #3136561. It said "I love pumpkin bear originals" (my ebay ID); an I, a heart, a pumpkin, a bear, and then she spelled out originals. It was a lot of fun for everyone! If you want to check them out, search for CCB Secret Santa Celebration.
Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
Wow, MandyM! That's amazing! This word-of-mouth via the internet is a powerful tool. *grin*
Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
So, I decided just to check the site . . . it's still up and running. All the jatraquera/o's have made a combined 511 snowflakes to date. You can check it out using the "find-a-flake" function and using Hatrack as the location. Pretty cool! Especially since there is some sort of donation going on related to the number of flakes made for the Salvation Army. You folks are awesome! Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
(That's not counting the ones where I was nursing a baby and too lazy to put my name on, or the ones the Princess did herself and submitted before she let me put her name on.)
Posted by dawnmaria (Member # 4142) on :
This is so neat to see snowflakes everyone made! Ya'll are all so talented!
Posted by B34N (Member # 9597) on :
That's so cool, I added one to the list I think it is up to 530 or something like that now.
Very cool stuff! Posted by Flaming Toad on a Stick (Member # 9302) on :
551.

KQ! How could you?!? You go back and find every last one of those flakes and name 'em!
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
I just added another one too! Posted by Kelly (Member # 9576) on :
