I suffer from SAD and this time of year I get it really bad. It's on and off mostly but stressful holidays kinda make it worse. I prefer tea, in fact I'm making some now ^.^

Yessss free art for everyone. I'm trying to entice people to come and talk to me, tell me about their days and get free art in return because it's Christmas, woohoo and this is my way of giving back to the wonderful community.

@Kat: yas, go for it~

Aww well that's very sweet of you :3 I'll definitely stick around ^^ I got a coloring book today, that's about all that happened xD OH and I get pasta for dinner :D
How was your day?

Yay, the more the merrier! That's a cute gift :3 colouring books are great. Such a calming activity. I'd like a colouring book myself. Oooh and pasta? Interesting choice of Christmas lunch/dinner :D hahaha.

My day was good too. Spent time with my family and ate a lovely Christmas roast.

:D Yeah I thought we weren't doing anything this year because we couldn't afford it and then I woke up to that ^^

And we're not religious so it's not really the big a deal for us, thus pasta xD It's really good pasta though so it's still special.

That sounds like a lovely day :D

Surprises are the best :D pasta is still great anyway, anytime of the year. Pasta and pizza <3

star wishes she could draw 'sigh' ah well I'll just keep practiceing..

Anyone can :) just never give up and keep practising and referring to references. Real life references are so important whether you're drawing humans or objects. Videos and books help too. Just keep going and you will get there!

aw so encouraging <3

I love tea. :)
What kind of tea were you making? My favorite is black tea and my favorite black tea is Yorkshire tea.

Anyway!

I hope that the SAD goes away sooner than later. :c
