Only one card left!

Well, it's Friday in Japan I guess.

How many people would care if they didn't get a card?

I overtiered and everything. Just have no talent and supplies. This is my first time doing this, I signed up at the last minute and didn't realize how important everyone thinks the card is...

>>150693988
I drew lower-effort postcards for my gifts, its kind of nice to get a message from a gift anon at the least.

>>150692242
PO of OH and AG of Mexico - shipped!

Dear JM from Canada if you're here, please, tell me if you already received the package I sent to you from Spain. The tracking service hasn't updated since november the 18 and I'm worried.

tfw no initials posted
I hope I'm not grinched.

>>150693988
>>150694051
I signed up for gifts but not a card, is my match expecting a card as well!? I was going to include a short note

>>150693988
Cards are important. Even a super shitty card is better than no card.

>>150694832
It's not a rule or anything but it's definitely good practice.

>>150693988
It's important. You're not the only one struggling right now. Don't let your laziness overcome you, you don't even have to spend a lot. Just paper and pencil. Some anons just sent store bought cards.
If you grinch out now, you could be blacklisted from all future events. If you really don't give a fuck, just email the organizers right now so your recipient(s) will know

>>150695972

What? Can you be blacklisted for not sending a card with a $120 fucking package? That's stupid.

>>150696225
Hi drawbro, are you going to stream again ?

>>150696225
It's too late, I'm not redoing it. Part of the problem is my shaky hand in general, how small this drawing is didn't help either.

Share your secrets anyway.

>remember that I got a late card last year and I didn't post it
Fuck. Now I feel guilty as fuck. I hope that this anon didn't commit suicide.

Got a card package on Tuesday from CS of AZ and his imouto!
Your sister did a great job on the card and your message is sweet, even if we don't have the same taste in Monster Musume girls. Thanks for the bag of candy, too! Seriously great selection of mint dark chocolate Kit Cats, caramels, and Hersheys kisses.
Thank you!

>>150697943
>Amerifats are still buying and eating disgusting Hersheys chocolate
I don't get it. Tastes literally worse than cheap no-brand chocolate here.

>>150697873

I don't have card stock or anything, just thin and fragile printer paper at best. Truth be told there wouldn't be any love put into it, just frustration and self loathing from my lack of talent, shit handwriting, inability to keep any text in line, etc.

If I knew everyone cared about the cards so much I might not have signed up, sorry.

>>150698120
I've spent few dollars on paper, pencil and crayons and made a card, and I am random tech dude who has no talent or skills in arts whatsoever, if I could do it, You can do it too.
Even though I'm not particulary proud of my card, but it's out there and I hope my anon liked it, but that's what really counts

JJ of UK shipped out yesterday, sorry for being so late got caught up in work.

anon, from someone who knows how draw. it takes a lot of time to get anywhere. (a ton of patience too) how do you expect to do anything like that if you don't overcome the attitude and not draw consistently? everyone has their own pace.

so try again! there is no trick to it. if you don't find motivation to do it then find it because no one will help you with that. this is how you get results with anything.


this is dedicated to all those fools who are thinking of giving up

JK from Canuckistan, your card has been sent.

>>150699219

I have actual nerve damage that impairs detailed fine motor skills for things like writing and drawing. It's where most of my anxiety for this shit comes from. My handwriting is really bad, and I don't mean that in the haha so cute and funny schoolgirl "look at my chicken scratches, anon-kun~" way, I mean it's been an actual detriment in my life and is probably indistinguishable from a toddler's.

>>150699513

There's plenty of other options. You could mess around with Microsoft paint or Photoshop and print something out for your anon.

It's the fact that someone took the time, even if just a little, that makes getting a card special. You can do it anon. I believe in you.

>>150699513
Who cares? Just draw the fucking cards and don't sign up next year.

>>150699513
In one of the last threads, someone got a signed store-bought card a printed out photo of the character anon liked. If you want to be extra special, you can throw in some store-bought candy

anon, I have dyslexia. anything I try in life ends up in failure because I always get everything wrong. but throughout the years I've developed the skin to admit my mistakes and try again untill I get it right. somehow I managed to get a degree throughout all the stupid errors I committed in every single class, specially because they are strict with their requirements they needed a ton of patience with me. my pace is slow.

but the race doesn't end there, at the end of the day it still hurts me to no end seeing my friends and family moving on with life, getting jobs and buying cars and houses, buying anything they want while I am still unsure of what direction to take because my work skill is very technical and I haven't found a venue to make it succeed. so right now I am surviving off a stupid job that gives me 80$ biweekly and I hate the hours.

I'm quitting that job and finding something else, I am currently failing my Japanese class but I am going to retake it until I pass it and that's okay. so far I've learned so much more than just sitting at home and feeling sorry for my dyslexic ass. now I can some what read Hiragana, Katakana and very little Kanji. I am going for another degree while I am at it.

it takes patience and lots of discipline. so please continue to fight for your dreams anon.

also , don't feel bad if other people don't understand your situation, they wont get it. and that's not something you should worry about. you do what you have to and get it done. do it because you want to and because that's the best thing you have to offer. eventually you'll find someone else who appreciates it, that's the kind of people you should be working hard for.

Did you people wrap everything and put it in a separate shipping box or just ship it normally with everything loose?

>>150701347
Wrap everything with wrapping paper then put them into a plain shipping box. Pad it out with glitter and candy to make sure it gets there extra-safe.

Alright AN from WA, I finally shipped your package after a long week. I sent it to your second address, since I wasn't sure if it would get to your first one in time. I know you'll enjoy it.

>>150701347
I wrapped everything inside a plain shipping box because gift wrapped items arnt always guaranteed to look nice afterwards..also the giant shipping label they tape to the box also fucks up the gift.

>>150701347

Have you checked the post office? I'm sure they have boxes to spare...for a price. Or just look around the house for a box that will fit the item, wrap it and put it inside your bigger box.

>>150701892
You can get boxes around the back of most stores. Where I am they have a separate dumpster for just cardboard so it's clean.

There's a lot of people outside of these threads who would be interested in some online lessons. A few years ago there were "/a/ learns to draw" threads, hosted by Yuno-sensei. She tried to make it a daily thread, but I feel that was too frequent and got trolled too easily. I think it would be great if you made weekly threads with a scheduled lesson plan. Other drawfags would probably help you out too with posting explanations, guides, and tutorials.

Everything's wrapped and ready to go. Just need to bake the cookies on Sunday and ship it off on Monday (with priority shipping, save your greentext)

>>150696705
Which one are you?
If you're PO I want you to open it ASAP as there's baked goods inside. All of the gifts are wrapped.

>finished all my cards but one days ago
>just can't get any inspiration for my last card
>haven't printed or sent any of them
Fuck, and now I've got deadlines until weekend. Guess I'll have to print and send the ones I've finished when I wake up tomorrow.

Didnt the last thread stay alive until early hours of wednesday

>>150707152
Yes. Threads should only go up Friday afternoon or on Saturday though. I seem to remember reading a year or two ago that doing it meant we wouldn't get banned for non-anime related, but if it turns into a daily it spends too much time shitting up the board.
and alerts others to the Christmas cheer who might come grinch next year.

>>150707152
Around 1 or 2am on wensday. But that was unexpected, so I wouldn't blame someone if they missed it.

jee, maybe. (I am honored) I'd be dealing with a class of delinquents. but, if I see enough interest then I'd do it. full disclosure though and this is my only condition. I would be promoting my stuff now and then, obviously since as a priority first I need to also feed myself in order to dedicate time teaching.

if you guys are fine with that and you'd do me the favor to let others know this in case there are complaints (being that this place is usually unruly and people will complain anyway.) then I'll help you out as much as possible.

>>150707302
Yea, I don't think threads should be started until friday evening (in the west). But they should be daily for christmas week (dec 25-31), then go back to weekly for the next couple weeks before stopping until sept.

>>150707621


my pleasure, eh. I kinda damaged one, I am using double sided tape and some of it got to the card. this is intended for easy reseal so that you can keep it safe all year round. but no worries, I'll just have to reprint it and be careful.

so please try to be careful as well when opening, I recommend to lift it with a plastic card or a metal ruler or a knife to prevent damage.


if I may ask, which one of these knuckle heads are you sir/madame?

Yeah, every once in a while. I even bought some supplies for my cards, they have some nice stores.

Those cards look lovely, anon!

>>150708714
nice, though that one looked really good already. Did you move? I want to send you a card. Also I never got you as assignment, it was always the other way around, what's your favourite girl?

>>150706493
Unless you bought an onahole, it'll be fine

>>150709050
Nope, haven't moved. Still the same address.
I actually wrote santaloli this year to specifically match me with you since it starts to kinda be a tradition now after 3 years in a row. I guess he didn't like that idea since I didn't get you. But you can still expect a small card.

I'm sending a GuPfag Darjeeling for a laugh, but I decided not to send a whole box worth because it'll make them feel bad if they don't like it and end up wasting a lot. I really have no idea how many people drink teas or like them. As a Brit it's hard to find people who will even try anything outside of Assam, I'm considered the non-tea drinker in the family because I have 20+ varieties at all time but never use milk or sugar. It's tricky.

Oh, if it's loose leaf then maybe try to get a diffuser for them in case they don't have a pot and strainer.

Hopefully Santaloli relayed my message, if not, it's here too: First time signing up for International, didn't realize how expensive shipping was. Expect a box from Amazon on Dec. 19th with your gifts in it. Card should hopefully show up around the same time.

I only posted it like this because it is consistent to what I took last year. I am a regular.

>>150716225
yay! thank you so much. I'll read it right now!

>>150716078
Getting a diffuser is actually a good idea since it is loose. Thanks for the tip.

I just got out of hospital for the dreaded Australian cold, and in my haste to pack my anons presents I forgot to include a card. I can't reopen it without it potentially not being able to be repacked due to a leaky vacuum seal.
I'm thinking I should just write my Christmas cheer all over the box that way every person who sees it knows how much of a faggot my anon is.

Would people be okay with receiving a present like that?

>>150716393
You could send the card separate and race them.

>>150716668

It's fine.
I have to repack anyway because no sleep and being sick means that I fucked up the maximum dimensions allowed for international parcels.

Just kill me.

Hey G from CA, this is your weekly post. Unfortunately I wasn't able to ship it out this week, I've been beyond busy since my family went to Japan, so I had to take care of shit at their place. I'll definitely get it out to you next week. At worse, you may have to wait for the card since I want to at least make sure the gifts get out to you. Sorry, bud.

It's not even Christmas yet, you can't be grinched until after Christmas.

Glad you got it. My gift last year arrived late because DHL fucked up so I gave my best to be super early this year!
Don't open early!
Yes, that was you. I didn't even realize until now. Sure is a small world.

Finishing wrapping tonight, will mail tomorrow or Monday at latest.

Just worked two 100 hour weeks back to back due to understaffing so I got absolutely nothing done. This weekend is the last of the catering we have booked because one of our regular 100+ parties decided to cheap out and cancel this year.

All cards and two gifts are on schedule

The third gift hasn't arrived yet, I'm so sorry anon

I had an anon tell me it would be late one year and got it in early January. Although, for those years, it was hardly an issue as I would go back to my parents' place for Christmas and wouldn't pick them up until after the 25th anyway.

I got my V/a/lentine's gift last year in March. There weren't any threads at that point, so I'm going to post a picture right now to thank my German anon for a cute gift!

Nice to see it in here, I wasn't sure how to notify you about it waiting at the post office, so I wrote to Santa Loli. Glad to see it whole and safe in your hands.
