Thanks Joelle, & you're quite welcome!

I'd forgotten how much fun I had with that log cabin. I made about 8
different graphic backgrounds for it, before I hit on the idea of using one
of my own photos for the bg. I hope you have as much fun. :D

Pretty cool, Pegs! I'm out of nerf bricks. How about a
marshmallow ;-)

Only if it doesn't come with hot cocoa!!! :-O

The reference to Nerf bricks is from years of hanging around forums devoted
to Chicago the band. Most require asbestos suits (I'm always mystified why
"fans" get so nasty when discussing the music & various band members), so I
always ask those who have a contrary opinion to throw only Nerf bricks. I
don't think anyone here would throw anything at me, but one never knows. ;-)

Thanks muchly! Have fun with the tutorial. I changed the roof in my version,
using one of the log fills, as I recall (it's been over a year since I did
the tut).

Of course not. Then I couldn't throw it ;-)

I don't think that anyone here would even throw a nerf brick ;-)
It's a shame that people get that way but the people here are,
for the most part, very civilized :-D. I've read some other
usenet groups and the viciousness totally turned me off to them.
I guess this is one advantage of a moderated forum, although, in
the past, we didn't need to be moderated.
