I was kinda thinking the same thing also. Colors are a tricky thing with me though. I want them to look good but not be so wonky that they are hard on the eye's. I've got a couple programs that help me a little though. As of late I've been dealing with the tourist rush we get here in October at work. I was looking forward to the break we were supposed to get in November but we haven't had much of one at all. The boss tells me that at this same time last year it was so dead she worried about having work for the employees. Now there is no shortage at all. In fact I was anticipating being able to work on her website redesign for the next few weeks and have it wrapped up by the end of the month. No such luck. Looking at her numbers on both her present site I've modified a bit and her reservation percentage (I work at a bed & breakfast) they've gone up on average 10% for the past 6 months and a whopping 15% last month from the previous years average. I attribute a lot of it to her offering packages with the rooms now and some website changes. We're not sure if the other inns in the area experienced the same increase but they are now asking what she did for her improvements. Back to the topic though, I do really want to work some new skins up for the holidays and will probably get a few up in the next week. All I can say is to keep checking back since they take a little time to arrange and put together.

Well that's wonderful for your boss and the big increase! Don't tell her secrets, that's for sure That hopefully means a good Christmas bonus for the employees....well I hope it does. Colors...red, green, silver, white...all very pretty! Maybe someone could donate a few from the 2004 Texas snow we had. I'm sooo dreaming of a white Christmas again, but if I can't have it here then maybe I can have it on the forum haha!! Good line huh ;D Take care, SJ!

Sure some pics from the winter snow down there would be great. I certainly liked the one with the lights in the yard under the snow. It almost looked like fire on the snow.

Got a real chilly skin for you to take a peek at. Just for starters. It's one that was received well on another forum I tend. Something with a more holiday theme in mind will come soon.

I'll have to apologize for tonight. I had the fit hit the san this evening and needed to tend to some matters. I'm shooting for high noon for the turkey delivery.

Thanks grillmaster. I'll begin work on the Christmas themed skins soon. I'll have a ton of time tomarrow considering I'll be locked in the house after taking the truck to the shop. Only owned it a few days and sensors on it are going wonky.
