I love them so much that my husband gave me a gorgeous snowflake pendant for Christmas. I have spent hours this winter trying to catch a glimpse of perfect little flakes stuck to my windshield and my jacket. <div>I just love <a href="http://www.flurrious.com/">this snowflake-inspired site</a>. It was actually developed as a holiday card for an advertising agency (Digitas), but it's such a fun distraction, I'm glad it's living on through the winter! You can use different types of lines to develop a totally custom snowflake - even choosing how transparent (or "frozen") each line is. You can send your flake to a friend, too. The best part is that each snowflake forwarded to a friend generates a $1 donation to UNICEF. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3938007518880534662-6977479135372525998?l=abrightview.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jillianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03104416955760695729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938007518880534662.post-69939241921712008772010-02-09T13:38:00.001-08:002010-02-09T13:42:36.873-08:00I've been listening to <a href="http://www.myspace.com/theantlers">the Antlers</a> this afternoon.
