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

Tell All Tueday

First off if you haven't already voted for your favorite Stashbusting September projects please do so:

Secondly I am trying to figure out the best way to go forward with this blog.  I really like how other blogs have a schedule of sorts. I am not as organized as the more "professional" bloggers, but I love the Schedule idea and I think I need to mix things up a bit.

So here is what I am thinking:

Monday Madness: Pretty much anything goes. Life, parenting, running, you name it I might just talk about it. Great new recycling ideas or awesome upcycled crafts around the web will be posted.

Tried it Tuesday: I will "try" a cool tutorial found on another site. I will let you know the site I got the tute from (of course give them proper credit because it is their idea not mine) am let you know how it goes.

Wordless Wednesday: Don't worry Upcycled Awesome will be coming back, just no on Wednesday. It will give me a chance to hone my lacking photography skills.

Thursday Tutorials: I will attempt to do at least one craft tutorial every week on Thursday. This is supposed to be a craft blog after all. I mean seriously I need to get back to crafting.

Upcycled Awesome Friday: I am moving Upcycled Awesome to Friday. This way you will have the whole weekend to link up your really cool upcycled projects. 

Weekend: Off or maybe reviews and giveaways. I don't do all that many reviews, but maybe I should start? Who knows.
I am also a Blogher Book Reviewer so expect to see more of those throughout the blog. no specific weekly date for that, but the world needs some surprises, right!

I reserve the right to be a slacker at any time I choose, but a schedule is a good thing and i think it will keep me more on track and let the readers know what to expect. Now I just have to print it out and stick to it.

Oh and I am changing the name of my children. Seriously. C1 and C2 are now Phoebe and Holden. It just makes it easier to use a name rather than just their initials.

Thanks for joining me on this new adventure.

Sound great.
I like the whole schedule thing too.
I am envious of those who can. I tried it once, but failed, I just have my fingers involved in too much these days. I like the Tried it Tuesdays idea. I have a bazilion links saved of crafts I want to try.

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 they looked like this. Then I u

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!
