Halftee

December 1, 2011 By Michelle Barneck 124 Comments

What in the heck is a Halftee?

Glad you asked. I wondered the same thing when Halftee contacted me to see if I would like to try out their shirts. Why would I want half a shirt, I thought. I was a skeptic. I didn’t get it, but admittedly I am now a believer.

I remembered a friend saying she loved halftees, especially under dresses. Ok, I thought. I’ll be nice and give it a whirl. Um, love. No, really. I will not go back! I wore one under a dress Sunday and loved it so much I wanted to wear it again on Tuesday, but it was in the laundry. Sad day. I wore one again this Sunday and loved it just as much!

I love to layer, but hate the fussing with the undershirt creeping up or unflattering seams under your dress. I also have an issue with overheating. You’d think I was effected by early onset menopause. The 3/4 sleeve have been perfect for me. Keeps me warm in the crisp air, but I don’t get hot inside. It’s great!

I want you to try it for yourself because really it’s the only way to understand.

Halftee is giving one lucky reader two shirts of their choice!

DIY Under $5

November 30, 2011 By Michelle Barneck 5 Comments

Let’s start off the party with a fun little something to show someone you care. I call it “You Light Up My Life.” Leave a string of paper lights on their door with a note of love, appreciation or encouragement written on each light.

Now let’s see what you’ve been up to!

I enjoy so much your $5 projects that I decided to add an addition link section for anything under $15! That’s right. It will open up a place to show additional projects that can’t be purchased with an Abe Lincoln, but are still totally affordable! I can’t wait to see more from you!

Please remember:

Only link to your own projects that cost you $5 or less (price does not have to include items you had on hand) or $15 or less in the 2nd section.
You can link past projects that fit the dollar limit, but please only link each project one time to one DIY Under $5 party. Do not link the same project week after week.
No linking giveaways or items for sale
Please link back so others can join the party and so you have the opportunity to be featured on Saturday!

Neighbor Gift

November 28, 2011 By Michelle Barneck 10 Comments

I did this neighbor gift idea as a guest post as part of Swell Noel on Positively Splendid, but thought I would share here for anyone who missed it.

————————————————————————–

Last year we received a super cute neighbor gift; a box of tissues with a note that read “We tissue a Merry Christmas and a healthy New Year.” I love creative themey gifts, so I ran with it and it will be my son’s teacher gift this year.

I used the tissue box idea and added an array of health related items:

Wet wipes

Throat drops

Hand Sanitizer

Emergen-C packets

Chapstick

Added some snowflake filler aka pieces of silk flowers that look like snowflakes.

Then, I made some matching tags using wrapping paper, thin white cardboard, glue and glitter paint.

Cut out a snowflake. Glue it to the cardboard. Cover the white areas with glitter glue using the Martha Stewart fine tip top that screws right on to the paint bottle. Let it dry.

Cut out the snowflakes and write “We tissue a Merry Christmas…” and “and a healthy New Year!” on the back.

I love how it turned out and everything cost me under $10! Everything but the glitter paint, glue and cardboard was from Target. Easy as pie and perfect for an fun teacher or neighbor gift!
