Hi, I'm new!

My name is Katie and I am new to this community! 

I am a sophomore in college, and I feel like all my creativity has vanished since I came to college. My last year of high school was spent in all sorts of art classes. I feel that was when I was most creative, seeing as how I had all the supplies and materials I needed.

My boyfriend and I have our one year in November, and then Christmas is just after that. Instead of buying him concert tickets, clothes, a build-a-bear stuffed animal, etc... I want to make him something. We did not know each other in high school and I want to make him something to show him that I do have a creative side [and that I am not just making it up!]

The problem is, I am not sure what to make him. I like to spend a lot of time on projects, and time is something that I can't seem to find enough of lately! I loooooved throwing on the pottery wheel in high school, but since I don't have access to a pottery wheel now, that is out of the picture. I like to work with clay, and sculpting small things out of other material. I also like to paint, but not pictures... [I like to paint tables, vases, clay pots, etc]

This was probably lots of useless information, but I need some ideas! It has been a long time since I have done anything artistic. The last project I worked on [this summer] was painting a corn-hole thing for my dad/brother. Help me! <3
