Hey friends!

My kiddo is hosting a movie night toy drive to collect donations for the local Children's Hospital! If you'd like to donate a toy or craft kit, DM me and I'll send you the link!

(If you want to watch the movie with us, it's Inside Out, lol)

I didn't want to clown on the gift donation for kids post and this might be a little late anyway, but if you're going to donate art supplies, or even give some to kids in your family, please think twice before getting those art kits that come with everything, even the ones that do come in fancy wooden boxes. They're almost always terrible in quality and even as a little kid you end up feeling frustrated by them and feel like you're the one doing something wrong or you don't have talent or something.

I get it, they're usually cheaper than buying even student grade supplies individually, but I remember getting one of the fancy wooden box ones at like thirteen then after a while getting (secretly, as to not upset the person who got me it that Christmas) because I felt I wasn't good enough at art to warrant such a gift because I couldn't get the pencils or watercolors or oil pastels to behave like how the books and videos told me they would behave. And even getting the plastic box ones as an even younger kid left me feeling frustrated. Because the kit ones are all full of cheap filler and less pigment as a cost cutting measure. And the paper that came with it was no better than printer paper so the watercolors disintegrated it.

Anyway I'm not saying you have to buy a one hundred dollar professional set of paint or something. And even student grade does add up. But a decent sketchbook (I recommend Canson XL Mixed Media, because not only is it cheap but the paper is great and there's like sixty sheets it), and maybe just one type of art supply instead of buying a whole studio's worth. Decent sets of artist pencils of different lead types are easy to come by. Or even just a few tubes of primary colors acrylic paints (I've been using Arteza acrylics and I like them a lot), or a box of decent oil pastels or a small watercolor pallet. And you can find decent brushes, even in packet sets, just make sure they're the right kind for the paints you're getting (and there are mixed media brushes too) Avoid at all costs the Crayola brushes with the thick plasticity bristles that are the bane of children everywhere tho.

TL;DR honestly, if you have the chance to know what the child likes in art supplies, just get them a decent set of that instead of one of the frustrating art kits that give you everything but for a lesser quality

(ALSO: make sure art supplies geared to younger kids are nontoxic, and if giving to an older kid who knows not to drink the paint water, make sure they know if there's anything toxic even still. This isn't too much of a worry these days unless you're getting really expensive pro stuff, but look out for warnings anyway)

Every year, a member of my VtM group collects toys since October then delivers them to kids at the local hospital. Please consider donating to help kids out this year have a lil Christmas cheer. This is the last day because he will buy the toys over the weekend then I'll be helping to deliver them on Monday! I'll even draw you a lil something if you screenshot your donation!

If you can't, totally understand, this year has not been kind to us! Even a reblog can help out!

Yesterday I got to play Santa at my local Walmart!!🎅🏼 Our city police and county sheriff’s department was doing their annual toy drive & were handing out lists of things you could get. The toys and other presents go to kids and families that are in the hospital during the Christmas season. I found out that a daughter whose dad works for the sheriff’s department had cancer her senior year of high school. She did beat cancer, but when was fighting cancer she was in the hospital during Christmas. She saw how so many kids and families couldn’t really afford toys or things like clothes. She and her dad decided to donate some toys to the hospital she was at. So what started as a small toy drive turned into an even bigger toy drive. They are donating to our local area and even to our neighboring states! Here’s my toy haul! I got toys for different age ranges, and even a few things for parents!💗

It’s been a long week

Man, it’s been such a long week! I’ve been working at both of my jobs almost every day, except for Wednesday. The weather’s only been hitting around 30°, so it’s freezing cold, and my first job has me stuck outside. All I wanna do is crash for a nap. But surprise, the weekend is jam-packed with stuff too! I’ve got to work a toy drive on Saturday, and on Sunday, we’re taking our therapy dog to a…
