When my wife asked me what I wanted for my birthday I said “spray paint”, so she made a secret fund raiser and raised $400. It was definitely up there with the best gifts I've received.
So I went online and ordered all the colours I wanted and got 6 boxes of paint delivered to my door a couple of days later. Needless to say I was ecstatic.
Today I will start a large mural on my studio wall. It's a huge wall and I've already prepped it but I'm super nervous about what I'm going to paint. It'll be something I've never done before. I'll post the finished product our next email and a video on our YouTube channel Those Hare Krishna's.
