Well, our entries in the Alberta Magazine Awards were not successful, but we want to congratulate the winners in all categories.

We hope you are all enjoying the summer and maintaining a safe distance from others as you go about your daily activities. The “new normal” is now normal, if we want to get through the COVID-19 era safely.

Are people starting to have an interesting washable mask collection to add some panache to their style? As much as it’s good to have a set of disposable masks on hand, they are kind of boring. There is an abundance of really creative hand-made masks to be found on Etsy and other sites. My family has a set of really cool TARDIS masks for every member, and I also wear the cloth masks provided by my employer to every employee. If you have a particularly nerdy face mask for your outings, send a photo to us on the Friends of On Spec Facebook group.

Be careful out there!
