Does anyone have the directions to make the Dr. Seuss hat? The link does not work.
Thanks
My daughter may do a report on Dr. Seuss on January 10, 2012 – but the link to make the hat is showing “page not available” – can you provide the link again so I can see how to make this hat? Thanks!!
How fantastic! We are doing our Dr. Seuss celebrating this week, so I will definitely be making this hat, thanks!
That is the most adorable picture!
My son Owen kept reminding that March 2nd was Dr. Seuss’s b-day. We adore his books.
I have a huge favor to ask of you- I notice your blog is on WordPress, and I just recently switched to WordPress. As I am attempting to set up my blog I just can’t seem to figure out how to post a photo!! I successfully added an image for my header but despite reading the getting started info, I don’t see where the Upload option appears on the write a post page. Could you give me any insight?? Thank you so much. I enjoy your blog very much- I hope I can get mine figured out.
Many thanks,
Tara
