Ok..thanks and did that. I thought I had previosly, but I didn't remember to hold down my mouse until it was done. Keep thinking that if I just hit the checkmark it will do it all by itself. LOL!! Any other suggestions? I really feel the terrain is too smooth and needs some real snowy bumps. Any ideas? Thanks for all your help here..I am learning more and more each day..and sent a note out to Santa in hoping to get that book by Susan Kitchen. I think I've been a pretty good girl all year, so keeping my fingers crossed. ;-)
