I mass produced the pleated style last spring and summer for family members. We all need some fresh masks – elastic is stretched, washing wear & tear. The clam shell one is white muslin – I had too many sizes to chose from, and I didn’t want to waste pretty fabric if I guessed wrong.

BLOG MILESTONE:
This is post number 2,000.
I started blogging back in 2013 – it seems a lifetime ago.
Thanks for all of your comments and likes!
Back in 2016, I did a post titled Trash to Treasure – Lilly Pulitzer , about using a cut up advertisement as background paper.
I still have some of the wrapping paper and cut up advertisement, and I used it for some new encouragement cards. Aren’t these sentiments great??
I did two coats of the white embossing powder to get complete coverage.
