Letter to Santa

Dear Santa,
I want some Indiana Jones guys and I want some Transformer guys, bad and good. I want some toy elves and Santa. I would also like Back to the Future guys. I have been on the good list this year because I haven't broken anything except the curtains on accident. I will leave you a note and some cookies and milk.
Love,
Spencer

Picnik

I stumbled across picnik.com last night and had a little too much fun cropping, editing, and adding all their crazy cool effects. It's got a lot of the same features that you can do in photoshop, but its all laid out so there's little thinking involved. Personally, I LOVED it. I'll just have to use it sparingly cause stayin' up til 2 am is not so pretty over here the next morning.
Lisa (SIL), you can thank me later for finding this lovely little site. If I think I'm gonna be addicted, I can't wait to see what you think. If any of you try it, let me know what you think.
BTW, for all you fellow mac users out there, its totally compatible...unlike picasa which broke my heart after playing with it and then finding out it doesn't like macs.
