Handan is always shoving some piece of junk or another into my face and then demanding to know if I'm aware of what I'll be doing with it.

DiY French Country Style Mirror
A while back, my mom and dad gave Handan an old round mirror that used to hang in my sister's bedroom back in the days of big hair and small televisions. It had a diameter of 26 inches, and it was fastened to a thick wooden backing. Like most things we collect, it was sentenced to…
