Dear Santa,
You know I’ve tried to be a good girl this year. I’ve been getting straight A’s in school even while juggling school and a couple of difficult projects. I’m one semester away from finally getting my AA and promise to not give up until I have my BFA. I’ve been really nice to my boyfriend. I tried to spoil him the best I could. We’ve both had a busy year and I think we’re good at making time for each other, despite the hard work we have both been up to.
If I could get anything in the world for Chritmas, It would be more time to make art. I know this is probably the one thing you can’t give me so here are a few alternatives for you to consider. I’d like things that inspire my art making. I want a quiet Christmas this year. Money is sparse so please, if you must shower me with presents, do so with frugality and reserve.
