This is actually a list I can affordably use! Some of these ideas are ones I had forgotten about (bubble wrap and frozen bubbles), but the rest are ones I wish I had thought of or read of sooner. I love the idea of using the old comforters for thermal curtains, and can't wait to make the marbles for my porch steps. This list is short and genius, perfect for a Michigan winter. Thank you for sharing. Blessings from Port Huron, Michigan, USA.
Thanks for stopping by Susie. I don't do cold weather so I would probable freeze to death in Michigan! So glad you found some helpful tips.
