Product Review: Dust Bee Gone

In full disclosure I am not getting paid for this review, I am not getting any samples, nor did I get anything from the company for this.  I am just a satisfied user of this product.

For years I would not wear dust masks.  I finally read another review over at the scrollsaw workshop.  I was skeptical that my safety glasses wouldn't fog up, that is the biggest reason I would not wear dust masks.  I had the choice either wear a dust mask or safety glasses.  I chose safety glasses.  I don't have to worry about that now.

Dust Bee Gone Nuisance Dust Mask is here.  I absolutely love it.  I can wear my dust mask and my glasses without having them fog up.  I love the fact that my glasses do not fog up, I hope you will consider using this mask or atleast use a mask and don't be stubborn like I am.  I now no longer need to worry about breathing in dust that could be harmful.  I just wish it would make the air smell good that I am breathing.  Especially when working on acrylic pens.  Three very important features: It is hand washable, easy to breath and talk through, and is effective to 3 microns.  Please consider your safety and wear a mask and glasses not one or the other.

We Have Goals for 2011 Yes We do, How About You?

I got the idea for this blog post from My friend over at Designs of Avalon. With the start of the New Year it’s typical to see resolutions being made. I don’t make resolutions since I don’t keep them. However I do set goals, you may say they are the same, I disagree but not going to argue. I am asking you to help me keep on these goals, and because I have a short memory, and I want to be held accountable to someone, I thought I would share a couple of my goals.

1. Determine what sold the best in my studio.
   * Handmade Unfinished Wooden Carpenter Christmas Ornament - 2 Sold
   * Handmade Natural FireFighter Christmas Ornament - 2 sold
   * Handmade Custom Wooden Name Key Chains - 10 Sold
2. Increase the number of on hand inventory of items that sold 2 or more where possible.
    I ran into some issues not major ones, but unneeded stress where I sold the last one of the item and then sold one more
3. Double the number of items available in my shop.
4. Retake photos of the items I currently have in my shop.
5. Have atleast one blog post a week.
