Well, I decided that, though I have more money than ever before due to having a job, I cannot afford to buy gifts for each and every one of my beloved friends. So instead, I'm doing what one of my friends did last year. I'm doing a full page color drawing for each one of my friends, featuring their favorite character or some other personal request. I thought I'd post the list here and update it as I progress. And, unfortunately, the drawings won't be posted for a while, because I have to wait till after my friends receive them. But after they do, you'll have a flood of pictures in your inboxes!!
