@Janice Thomson: You are such a dear, actually the soft processing wasn't intentional...I don't know what went wrong, it looked fine and sharp before...lol eyes must be going..
@Kylie Greenan: Thanks a lot Kylie :)
Magda from Vancouver, Canada
Looks like fun! And the colours....! We didn't have those when we were kids! ;) (grin) Can't wait for some snow here.... we don't get much but those few days in a year that we do get this white fluff kids go crazy and so do the adults! lol
