My purple Resinsoul Lian Body came today! My Migma head is a lot lighter, but I will put some irridescent pearl paint on her neck to help blend the two parts. Resinsoul sent her with a certificate and a really nice bag! <3 Random stuff:Here is what my brother showed me how to make--Cthulu peeps: And a rainbow that we saw when J and I took a walk in the neighborhood. Right now I am still putting away party things, and vaccuming ants.

We went to the mall and yes, to Marshall's Home Goods. They now put the really amazing decos in the middle, away from the mall door, but there are more than ever-- and I did buy a box to keep doll heads in (you see why the Home Goods buyers and I are on the same wavelength).

And then there is the pond. Tony the Contractor is supposed to come get the fish, but as he is digging to make his own pond larger, I don't know when he will get over here. In the meantime, the pond was looking a little murky--it was time to change the filter media, so I had to go buy Bulk Filter Media.
