New Year’s Mantle
January 5, 2012 by 6 Comments
I was getting ready to post about how organized and on the ball I am going to be this year when I got distracted by sparkly things! I love Valentine’s Day–I do. I blog about it all of the time. But when the stores fill with Valentine’s merchandise before Christmas is even over, it […]
Cupcake Liner Christmas Tree, Elmer’s Holiday #GlueNGlitter
December 20, 2011 by 14 Comments
I have a couple of gaping holes on either side of my mantle that present some decorating challenges. Anything I put there ends up looking cluttery, unless it is the right scale. I spent some time looking at ordering some smaller Christmas trees. I thought something like this fancy feather tree from Z Gallery would be […]

I am totally excited to be here on My Insanity! I had the pleasure of meeting Kendra at Creative Estates and she is all sorts of fun! Hi, I’m Michelle from… I love to share creative projects that can be done on a time and money budget. I also host a weekly DIY Under $5 […]

I’m excited my sister, Trina, decided to share another fun Christmas project with you! This one involves a little bit of sewing, *gasp*, but it’s simple enough, I could probably do it! Here’s what she said: I made several of these felt and flannel Ho Ho Ho banners last year to give away, made with […]
Martha Stewart Christmas Mug

It was a happy day a few weeks ago when I opened up a box of Martha Stewart Crafts line of paints and goodies from the folks at Plaid. You might say Christmas came a little early for me this year! Among the goodness in the box were bottles of beautiful colors of satin, pearl and […]
A Winter White Mantle
January 13, 2011 by 6 Comments
I missed all of the holiday linky mantle parties, because I was in the middle of doing this (and trying to decide if I liked it). (This is the view from the other side of the mantle, right after painting). You may remember my Halloween mantle… I had a great time with it and […]
Cranberries, Cocoa, & Kilts, A Winter Wedding
January 6, 2011 by 15 Comments
Last year at this time, BSB’s sister got married. To say we were involved in the wedding would be an understatement. My whole family was part of the wedding party, I did the flowers, created the hot cocoa bar, BSB and I sang at the ceremony, and I helped coordinate the volunteers in the kitchen […]
Happy 2011!

I had to write a quick post on 1-1-11 to say “Happy New Year!” We were snowed-in at my in-laws for a couple of days, which made for some winter fun for the kids. (I just love this picture of my handsome guys in the snow!) Of course, I am behind on all of my […]
Wintry Thank You Cards
January 14, 2010 by 5 Comments
Do you send “thank you” cards? It is becoming a lost art. We usually make or write thank you cards, and then forget to deliver or send them. My mother-in-law, unfailingly sends us a thank-you after Christmas and birthday/mother’s day (they are about the same time), and gently reminds us to send them, at least […]
