Just Like That, I am Back

 If I said I was back, would you believe me? Blogging is complicated, and there are so many "get rich quick" blogging schemes that make it look like you are a lost cause if you are not currently earning money blogging. And why are you even blogging if you don't have multiple streams of income and entertainment. If you don't have a brand? I do have this website, but I do not have Instagram, Twitter, TikTok (you don't want to see me dance), or whatever is next.  Heck, I haven't even updated this since before the pandemic. So why am I here, writing about being back and then, probably ghosting for another two years? Life has been rough. It's been painful and overwhelming. I am so thankful for you my readers, or what is left of you. I am so thankful you are reading this post. I am so thankful that you are still committed to making the world a more exciting and more sustainable place.  Keep up-cycling my friends, and you never know, I might be back again with an...

Fifty Stashbusters on Parade!

-
Can you believe it there are fifty blogs proudly busting their stash for Stashbusting September. I think we have all really started something here fellow crafters.

I mean I was excited that we were getting close to thirty-five, but fifty!

You guys rock.If you have not signed up it is not to late. Just go


If any of you lovely crafting Diva's would like to do a stashbusting tutorial please feel free to email me. I would love to feature you on the blog!

I am so happy to know each and every one of you I could cry!

Oh and if I am a little absent it is because I am getting my "single girl" house ready to house a family of refugees from Burma.

Burma, wait isn't it actually The Union of Myanmar. True it is, but "It'll always be Burma to me (Oh Mr. J. Peterman how I love to reference you).

It is actually a really exciting opportunity that I am honored to be able to help out with. I am helping to give a family of seven their first home. They have spent most of if not their entire lives in a refugee camp living in a one room hut. Right now they are in Thailand and will be coming to the states on Thursday so I will be a busy girl!

I am so excited and can not wait to share more with you.

Ingredients wood blocks scrapbook paper cut into small strips red, white and blue paint Mod Podge craft glue jewels Start by cutting your wood into blocks.  Paint the top block red, the second block white and the last block blue.

If you are visiting this party I know you are up for a good challenge. Please sign up for Stashbusting September . You know you have some stash to bust! It's time for Upcycled Awesome, your green linky party dedicated to upcycled crafts and more.  As always you have until Saturday at Midnight to post your upcycled project. It was Sunday, but I think you can get your linky on and call it a day sooner. You guys do rock. Upcycling is taking something you already have, something rescued from a thrift store, garage sale, or even your neighbors garbage and making it into something new. For more information on upcycling check out this post . Here are a few of my favorites from last week. If you are featured please do not forget to grab a button. I just discovered Freckled Laundry , and boy am I loving this website. She offers five uses for that old pair of tights that you spent $12 on and can no longer wear (she had twins, my excuse would be too much ice cream). Knit S...
