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...

Upcycled Awesome #31

-
Upcycled Awesome #31 is going to be the biggest Upcycled Linky Party yet! Why because I am rocking a brand new linky tools account and I know you guys are going to support me in my decision to pay the very reasonable, nominal feel so that I can show your awesome pictures of your upcycled and repurposed projects.

It's Upcycled Awesome time again. Please feel free to post as many upcycled entries as you like! The more upcycled links the better in my opinion.

Not that my linky party is really all that different from any other party out there, but I do have a few easy rules:
  • Find your favorite Upcycled art project and share it with our readers
  • What is an upcycled art project? Take something old and make it new again, a T-shirt that you stained, a picture frame that was about to be tossed, upcycling is all about taking the old and making it new again.
  • Add a link below to a specific blog post not your main blog address
  • Grab a party button and pop it up on your blog someplace visible, like your sidebar.
  • Do not link to something you are trying to sell. Do not be offended if I remove your link because it is not upcycled (I am sure it is still awesome!)
  • Remember that fuzzy feeling you get when you see comments on your post? Make someone's day by commenting on their blog post. :) heck comment here!
Don't forget to grab a button:

    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. When the paint it dry start Mod Podging your blocks with the scraps of scrapbook paper in a quilty kind of design. When mine were done t...

    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...

    Not really. It's just been so darn long since I have actually blogged I figure a catchy title would grab your attention. Are big things in the works, maybe? I would love to get this blog up and running again. I want to be writing again, and I want to be crafting again. Will it happen? Stay tuned!
