Art from a Cigarette Vending Machine

This is a super cool artsy thing I just recently found out about and want to pass along. This artist group based out of Winston-Salem, North Carolina has taken old cigarette machines and have turned them into art vending machine's instead. Too cool! The machines are all around the country and there is one right here in Middle Tennessee at Tennessee Performing Arts Center. Basically you put $5.00 in the machine, pick the art piece you would like to purchase, pull the knob, and a cellophane wrapped square box with a piece of original artwork comes out. Too cool. I love neat artsy things like this!

Shaw's Shout out of the Day: Art-o-mat

Let the shopping begin!

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? If your like me you probably haven't! I have not started yet. It takes me a bit to get into the Christmas shopping mode. But I always take a day off in December to have a day to myself and do some shopping, which I'll be doing this coming week. I find it much easier to take a day off and go during the week instead of shopping on the weekends. During the week it is less crowded and much easier to get in and out of places. On the weekends everything around here gets jammed packed and it gets hard and aggravating to just simply get in and out of stores. No thanks! I guess I could do some online shopping instead as that would be nice and easy. But I enjoy going in the stores and looking around and picking things out. So I wish you well on your journey of Christmas shopping this holiday season!
