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

Lego Kidsfest Comes To Cleveland

-
As my son stated on the way there..."It's a building full of Lego's"

That pretty much sums up the awesomeness of Lego Kidsfest in Cleveland this weekend.


Holden is Two...the hubster is 39 and I am really not sure which one of them had more fun. I mean Holden and the hubsters went from :30 - 1pm and they continued to break out some 30 year old Lego's from the hubsters secret stash and play until seven o'clock at night (we will just ignore Phoebe's 5th birthday party was the next day and all sorts of massive prep needed to be done.).

 

The coolest part had to be the HUGE Lego dinosaurs. Holden is a huge dinosaur guy so the fact that he was able to stand near a dinosaur and touch it, awesome.

 

The Star Wars characters were also a hit. Sadly we didn't get any pictures with Lightening McQueen, but rumoredly they didn't see him. I guess when you have an entire building full of Legos you can't get to anything.





Oh and did I mention Lego Kidsfest has a Lego city that all the participants help to build? They got an 8X8 inch Lego board to build their city on. They made a barn. The coolest thing is all the little pieces are put together on a map of the untied states. Little guy loved it.

I am so excited they got a chance to go to Lego Kidsfest, and I really hope it comes back to Cleveland again at some point (although I think that they will likely end up driving to just about anywhere to experience it again next year).

I hop you guys all got a chance to go. Lego's Rock!

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.

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.
