Happy Friday, and this will be the last regular edition of This Week in Skinning for 2009!  This was an interesting and exciting year for skinning.  The uploads on WinCustomize increased in times where normally they decrease, and we have seen many new skinners enter the community, but unfortunately, we have also seen some leave as well.

Over the next couple of weeks we will take a look back at some of the highlights of skinning throughout the year, so if you have some suggestions, please feel free to send them my way.

Thanks for all your contributions this year, whether it was actual skins, or just being there in the community.

Now for this weeks picks!

	Snowfalke by B2R This CursorFX theme has a great color and subtle animations.
	Ring Stack by ahabkaba These are some really cool tiles to use in ObjectDock.  Great work!
	Autumn walk by realityDream This is a beautiful scene, and looks great on any desktop.
	The Remote Destination Squad by kenwas This is a very cute scene, and is another perfect Christmas wallpaper.
	Alpine by MikeB314 This Master WindowBlinds skin is very clean and sleek.  There are also plenty of holiday wallpapers that are a perfect match to this.
