Birthday Wishes

Every year, family members ask; What do you want for your birthday?
Every year, I wonder what kind of answer they expect.

Which got me thinking, is there a non-written limit of age after which family members should not ask that question anymore? It should be obvious, no? A bit like smelling  your hand in public is obviously going to look wrong and suspicious?

Just to make clear, I don't mind giving hints here and there to what I want... The only person I expect to receive gifts from is the hubby, and he didn't disappoint again this year. Lots of nice little creams, perfum, coca-cola lip smackers, cookies, cake, etc. No tiaras and no ponies, sadly! (;

I'll be in Canada for 10 days, with plenty of time to myself. Most certainly I'll come back with a few new drawings but don't expect posts everyday. Not to brag, but I'll be uploading my webcomic from a phone-modem *cough-cough*. haha

Vacations

Vacations are great. Except if you live abroad. Because then, people expect you to go to your home town / country during your vacations.

It's as if people thought that because you're abroad, you're living a vacation everyday except when your with them. I'm looking forward to explaining to my family next year, that I might just skip seeing them because I want to travel to countries I have actually not been to before.

I was thinking about all of this yesterday while drawing these little beach people.  These new aquarelle pencils I bought are fantastic! Aquarelle was never something that grabbed my attention (I think it's mainly due to the blurry look of it). I wanted normal pencils and bought them by mistake. The texture of the color is what I really like about these.

Gone to the beach.

Ahh!! The day is almost over!
Now that this blog is finally up and running, I might just go and swim at the lake.

On another note; I bought myself new pencils today. Exciting, innit?
I will be putting mostly drawings and short texts here; that means pretty much everything that doesn't fit on my other sites.

Swimming time for now!
