We unfortunately couldn't see each other on the actual date of our anniversary since it fell on a Monday, but sweet, sweet CJ had cookies delivered to me that night! They were from Campus Cookies, a local store that delivers a variety of yummy, warm cookies to the Blacksburg area. It was such a sweet unexpected surprise!
We ended up seeing each other the following weekend, which I would then give him my gift. But since CJ knew I've been on a tight budget (college student budget, woo), he made me promise not to spend more than $5 on him. After some thinking, I got inspired to create a fun little project. If you know anything about Pokémon, then hopefully these will be a little familiar.
I painted these on two separate flat canvases. These are Umbreon and Jolteon, the two Pokémon that we chose to represent us. Yes, we are huge Pokémon nerds, in case you hadn't already realized ;)
This is Jolteon, as CJ. This is the half of the painting that he took home with him.
And this is Umbreon, as me, which I keep with me at my bedside table, haha. Then, once we can be together for good next year, these two will be joined together. Is that super cheesy? It's cheesy. But we're kind of cheesy like that :)
This isn't one of the 4 goals I had mentioned, since I made this before the goals. But this was a great way to get me inspired into more painting or crafting. I'm not very good at painting/drawing, but it's definitely something I would like to work on!
With the holidays coming up, doing small things like this are a great way to show how much you care about your friends and family, but without spending too much! If any of you create something, I'd love to see it! Thanks for reading!

If this blog was a pizza, it would have all the cheese. <3
