Printable PDF <<<HERE>>>
I made this mask by request. The wife of a VA worker in need of masks sent me this pattern and it’s by far the most comfortable mask.

Kitchen Refresh for under $500
I say this everytime, but I think this kitchen refresh for under $500 really is my favorite project of all time. This kitchen refresh seed was planted when I saw the videos on youtube about epoxy countertops. I was flabbergasted by the low cost and the amazing results. So I plotted my plan for years, yes years.
