I love the identity theft one. So very funny and cool!
Oh my, I have to love the wall of graffiti and identity thief!! Once my father went with a potato strapped around his waste. He was a dic-tater….. You know, it took me years to figure that one out.
Love how quick and easy this is- not to mention creative!
