What I did with my mask

I hated that mask at least when I hate to wear it. Now, not so bad since I am past all that ( or hope I am ). I wanted to share what I did with it. I was born in Texas but live in Louisiana so I combined the two and made a western Mardi Gras lady. Hope it can help some of you smile. Prayers and hugs .. Kritter

    unmasked

    Kritter,

    Keen idea!

    My wife uses mine as kitchen strainer.  Works good!

    bravo

    I love it. One of the most creative uses for the remaining ones that did not get blow up by a shotgun or run over by a pick-up truck.Laughing

    WOW....that is totally amazing...

    I am totally impressed!  You are so creative!  I'm one who planned to run over it with my Jeep, but so far, it's just gathing dust in the barn.

    Matt....you crack me up.

    Love it!

    That is so creative and looks really great!  I had planned to burn mine or shoot it with the shotgun, but for some strange reason...I became very protective of it and attached to it.  It's in my closet, and I can't stand the thought of destroying it.  At least for right now :)

    You are one creative lady.  And, so soon after treatment!  I was still taking naps from my naps at this point in my recovery!

    Mask

     

    Not a bad idea, I have both of my masks, why I don’t know. Maybe someday I will look back at them just to remember how bad life can get at times and thanks God everyday that it is all behind me

    My Mask

    I remember the rad tech telling me not to burn it because of it being plastic and all.  So I just put a pair of sunglasses on it and now it sits on my garage wall.  It's posted somewhere in my profile I think.

     

    One day I may just throw it out.  I surely don't want my family to deal with it.

    Now that is creative. Mine is still in a plastic bag in the basement, March 30th will be five years since I wore it. I plan on getting it out but not sure what I want to do with it. Thought maybe wear it and go to the bank with one hand in my pocket and mumble I want to make a withdrawal but I am having second thoughts on that idea. I like Matt's idea or his wife's.

    Enjoy the day
