Maybe you were the moon, and I was just the dark

I wonder if the universe knows that Christmas is nine days away, because my presents have all come early this year...

So anyways, I was traipsing my house the other day and saw a red box mysteriously perched at the bottom of one of our thousands of bookshelves. I pick it up, and it's a box of oil paints! Huzzah! I never tried painting with oil paints before...

A good find, but my next find was 20 times more exciting:

Huh... It's a cushioned-leather book-thing that says Prismacolor on the front! I was certain it had been there for months. I had no idea what it could be, so I opened it up. Guess what's on the inside?

That, my friends, is a set of expensive, wonderful, magical, colored-pencils. That are magical. Did I mention that already? And it comes with a sketchbook and it's own pencil sharpener.

I almost shed a few tears when I found it, dusty on my shelf and completely unused. Not a single pencil had been sharpened. It was so beautiful. ^_^

I set to work immediately trying them out:

Marvel at the smoothness, people! Gorgeous hues of blue and purple, amatuerly blended together! Yes, I know it's in want of a proper background. And stars. But stars are practically impossible to draw (for me) so I'll just say that these two live in a very polluted area. :)

Don't you love finding awesome things you never knew you had?
