More Christmas Penny Pinching

My college friends and I hung out this weekend. It had been months since I last saw some of them, so I was really excited. We went swimming, had pancakes for dinner, played PS2 (they played; I just randomly pressed buttons), (re)watched Golden Boy, drank, slept a little, then woke up and had leftover alcohol with our breakfast. Good times.

Of course there was gift giving, too. Like I mentioned in a previous post, I didn’t have much money to spend on gifts this year, so I did a lot of DIYing. This time I drew cartoon alter egos of the girls, had them printed, and found matching desktop frames for each drawing:

Cartoons!

They loved it! Seeing their reactions to the cartoons got me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. The guys pretend-pouted and asked why I didn’t do the same for them, so I mock-complained about how hard they were to draw because they all looked alike, hehe. I did try, but unfortunately I can’t draw boys as well as I can girls. I got them uber-geeky squeeze flashlights instead. Maybe next year.

Happy holidays, everyone! And thanks to Rose for being extra cool.

    • How did I miss this entry that has MY NAME in it?!

      Yay!
      You’re welcome. I -do- enjoy being cool.

      That’s an excellent gift. If I was more of an artist, I would totally draw pictures of my friends. It’s so fun to look at how othere people ‘see’ you.

      Love the bunny rabbit one :D

    • Those are absolutely adorable. I seriously envy your illustrations. They are just too cute!

      And I agree, boys are harder to draw for some reason. Whenever I draw them, they end up looking way too feminine.

      Glad you had fun with your friends!

    • hi nikki! do you have a deviant art account already? you might want to post your drawings there ^_^ (though, your site seems to be pretty popular as it is already.)
