My First Video!

  Hi all!  I put together a look with almost all freebies/cheapies and was going to just put it up here like a normal post.  Well, last night my daughter was bugging me to find a way to make a video of her drawing pictures of foxes (she's obsessed with foxes, lol.)  I asked Plurk and they gave me some ideas and I finally found one.  When I went to edit this photo I decided, hey, why not record it?  So here is the picture and below is me editing it.  I didn't do a ton of editing and the video is long and kind of pointless but I am excited to learn to make videos so I had to share. :)  Enjoy!

The website I used to record the video is HERE.  I know nothing about this website so I very much hope it's not like some creepy virus thing or something. -.-
The main program I used for editing the picture is Gimp, which is HERE, and the second program you see me using is Photoscape, which is HERE.

InkHeart Retirement Sale

I am not sure when this is ending, I just saw it while looking at some things on SL Marketplace.

There is 90 pairs of eyes on sale, I am guessing once the sale it done, they will all be deleted. More than likely because they don't want to migrate all of them when the new listing system hits SLM.

Grab these while you can, I wouldn't sit on it.

Most of the eyes are only L$1.

InkHeart Retirement Sale on SL Marketplace

Quickie

  I just a couple little things I wanted to share this morning before I go to the dreaded dentist for a cleaning and check up.  NOOOOO!  I have these eyes from InkHeart that were 9L on the marketplace BUT you can get them as a group gift in store if you aren't as lazy as I am.  My lipstick is one of SIX free gifts you can get at the Adam n Eve both at Skin Fair 2015.  They are labeled as "testers" and contain full wearable color options of the items instead of a normal demo.  They contain system layer and Slink applier versions.  Also check on their marketplace store for more freebies and cheapies!

  The skin I am wearing is also from Adam n Eve at Skin Fair and it's so, so cool.  (I am also wearing the Visage applier here on my mesh head, which is sold separate from the skin but also at Skin Fair.)  The skin is not free but it does have lots of options for brows/cleavage/makeup and is a great deal because of that.  Check it out while you are there grabbing your gifts. :)

14 Lions

  MiaSnow, one of my favorite creators of all time in SL, has a new skin line out.  To celebrate she has put out this lovely version for only 1L.  It's so cute!!  I can't wait to get some money because then I plan on buying the whole line, seriously.  Om nom nom.  Anyway, lol, the store she is currently selling her skins at is called Mia14.  She named it this way so when you go to organize her skins over the years you will easily know which year it's from.  Plus, it's fun!!

  My necklace is from Luminary at The Surreal Complex.  I am loving this event because the items are so creative and unique.  Some people really went with the theme and I love that.  This necklace includes both gold and silver versions to match your look.
  My hair is from Alice Project at the Thrift Shop and will be 50% off for the duration of the event.  AP makes some of my favorite hairs so if you want to try the store out you can do it now for a discount.  Sweet!
