What is the deal with having to rush to put all the holiday items up for sale so darn early? Today I was at Target and well on one side was Halloween and right across from it was Christmas. OK its not even October (yep still in September last I looked) and we already have the Christmas stuff out?
OK so some think that graffiti is a form of art and in some ways I think so too - just don't spray paint my house or office. Seriously I would consider a graffiti bedroom if the kids wanted it - it if was done correctly. But Graffiti is against the law. So what happens when the spray paint cans are put down and the rolls of tape are picked up? Is it legal? Its definitely a new twist........
In my spare time and hopefully full time someday, I am a Lampwork Artist. I have bee on Hiatus for about 3 years and have been aching to get back to it.
