Spend Spend Spend


It's Christmas time alright and my poor little purse has been taking some abuse.
Oh, I'm not moaning though, I love buying gifts for people and no two people deserve it more than my boys!
Our shopping trip was not designed around sketching, so I created a spread when I got home and my purse, bursting at the seams with receipts rather than cash, seemed the perfect subject.

That's a great bag...I have one just like it..."bursting with receipts", that is! LOL:) Nice work on the leather!

wonderful! I too have a similar item, even though we said we'd take it easy on the gifts this christmas. (we don't have kids, just cats - so I just had to buy them little 'things' for the season!!!)

Wonderful sketch, Anita! I love the monochrome tones in this. My poor old wallet has been getting a work-out too. :)
