Hi, fellow steemians!

I know some of you have been earning in steemit and have made your couple of cashouts. I want to know what you did to the money you get from steemit.

Meanwhile, I will have to share mine :)

I earned this amount in my first week in steemit. This is 17 SBD. I got this amount primarily because of the nudedrawing contest hosted by @yoganarchista that I also got the second place along with other great steemian artists. You may check her post in the link below:

I happily claimed the amount worth 6000 pesos to buy my reward for making it in steemit. I want it to be personal, memorable and meaningful. So, I rushed to the mall to buy something as a reward for myself. As I mentioned above, I got that amount because of the drawing contest I joined. So, I think I have to reward the artist in me.......

SHORT HISTORY

I am a great fan of artists who do realistic portraits using colored pencils. When I asked about the medium and the brand, they usually use PRISMACOLOR PENCILS. So, everytime I visit and shop in the mall, I have always checked if they were selling this kind of colorpencil. But, I always ended up with a "no prismacolor here" responses.

Then, I tried to shop online. Until then, I knew the exact prize of this medium. Ahhhh! It is very EXPENSIVE compared to other color pencils available in the mall! I decided to just put it in my wishlist.

Two years of waiting.....

Last week, after the artjam, I went to the mall with my co-jammers. We passed by in the stationery section of the mall and of course look for art materials and tools that are displayed. And to our surprise, we found a section which displays the PRISMACOLOR. We were like crazy people because we were extremely happy watching and wrapping the colorpencil in our arms.

Yesterday, I went back to the mall to get my long-time wish. I knew I deserve to treat myself with things that make me happy. Others may see it as a want or a luxury, but I see it as my happiness and satisfaction. So, I decided to purchase my steemit earnings with a Prismacolor Pencils as a present to my self.

I dreamt of this, and because of Steemit I have it already in my hands.

Seeing it along with other art materials is happiness.

Thank you @jenesa for introducing steemit to me. :) You are the best!

You're welcome. It's for everybody! More great posts for 2018!

Again, thank you so much @yoganarchista for that nudedrawing contest. It opened a lot of opportunities for me. I wouldn't have been able to buy my long-time wish if not because of you. Thank you for your big help. I wish you all the best in life.!

Grats Xian.

Thanks aying!

In my opinion it was the perfect investment and I would have probably done the same! You deserve it.

I got 2600 Pesos from my first steemit cash out, so so much for just an introduction post. I couldn't believe it and I am so glad, I have never expected this big amount. I spent the money to buy stuff for a kitten I found on the streets. I bought a blanket, baby milk powder and baby bottle. My friend laughed at me: why are you spending so much, it's just an animal.
But no for me it was worth every Pesos.

Every person has different things that make him or her happy. I am really happy for you that you allowed yourself to buy something what is important for you. Enjoy it :)

Wow! I am happy to know that you also spent your cashout to something that is important. I wish you all the best!

Im glad you enjoyed your steemit payout. Investing in things that make you happy while making profit out of it is the best.

Love what you do and you will never have to work a day in your life

Hopefully, this will merit you using those pens, and your talented hands ro make more art and earn more from your drawings. Good luck

Havent had my payout yet since bittrex is down. Would probably invest in something i love as well. Thanks for asking by the way

I see. But I know you will spend your cash out in something that makes you happy and proud of yourself. Best of luck to you too!
