beelikejNo new artrecs yet, because I lack time this weekend, thanks to another family get-together tomorrow. Today was filled with chores, but I could treat myself in between with picking up a parcel with my December Diamonds order from the City Lights Christmas Store in San Diego. What I got are officially Xmas-tree ornaments, but I'm gonna happily put these on display all year round. Because it's always appropriate to have a sparkly merman decorating your house, am I right?
Look how pretty he is!
I proudly present Merman 'Bones' and Octopus-lady the Black Widow, aren't they gorgeous?
Beautiful from every angle:)
And even more so in close up!
It's too sparkly to capture with my camera, but the lettering on his purse says 'Trick or Treat'. I love the detailed scales on his tail. Check out the tiny spider on Black Widow's octopus-arms \o/ There is also a little pumpkin, and a tiny bone and skull. SO AWESOME!
Grinning pumpkin FTW. Did I ever mention how much I love skulls? Imagine how I squeed when I discovered she even has skulls for earrings!
The Black Widow got a special place next to my computer-screen, right above my LEGO skeleton and the skull![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Merman Bones hangs from the bookshelf in my living room, can you see him? (Click for bigger picture:)
There he is!
*chinhands*
Just so you know: I have managed to keep up to date with all the artwork in the SPN_J2 BigBang and will share my favorites next week. I'm also reading a story every day, so there may be some ficrecs as well:)
Oh, remember that objection I wrote to the unemployment agency where my boss had applied for a license to cut my job in half? They sent me their decision yesterday. Rather unexpectedly they denied the application, because he failed to provide proof against the issues I raised in my arguments, which means he is not allowed to fire me! There is no option for appeal.
I have no idea what's gonna happen now, will hopefully find out on Monday. For now I'm going to enjoy my weekend with the knowledge that my arguments were heard and validated. That is a good feeling:)

(December Diamonds don't deliver outside the USA, so I ordered from a dealer that did. I think they had the Black Widow left from an older collection, since I couldn't find her on the official site.)
