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...

Cat In The Hat DIY Party Time

-
Here are a few of my fabulous inspirations for the adventure that is the $20 Cat in the Hat Party.

The Cat in the Hat birthday party is by no means an original party idea. there is a ton of stuff out there. I will be making pleanty of Martha-Poms for the party out of some fabulous napkins I picked up at Target today just like they did over at Texas Monkey:



Texas Monkey also made some fabulous Thing 1 and Thing 2 cupcakes. I won't be doing these, but they are absolutely adorable.


Crafty Workin Mom rocked the theme with a few ideas I am definitely borrowing in including finally finding a use for all the fun fur yarn I bought this summer at a garage sale:


And what is a party without Green Eggs and Ham?



Kara's Party Ideas has a whole bunch of fabulous ideas for a baby shower that I am totallly turning into a four year old birthday party.


Yummy Yummy cupcakes from Kara's Party ideas! I want these now.

That is it for today. I am so excited for this project and I know i can do it. My first step was the invitations. I had some grand ideas, but in the end budget-wise it made the most sense to use Pingg to send out the invitations. It's like evite, but I like it better. There are a lot more options and they will even mail out paper invites if you like (for a fee).

Keep your ideas coming and I will keep everyone updated on my thrifty fabulous Cat in the Hat party!

Hello lovely T-shirt Diary followers!  The Pink Bat Girl is here to rescue you from plain old scrap wood and boredom today with a fun Memorial Day upcycled project!  My block wood is courtesy of an old toddler bed that all of my kids used from Ikea.  The bed has been given away, however, we still had the old wood that went under the mattress.  I thought it would make some really great wood blocks! I took this old wood and my hubby's handy dandy saw and cut them into my desired lengths!.. I love power tools!  So if you would like to make some of these fun decorations here is what you need! 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.
