what I won and a bit of squeaky clean

Maggie over at Midwestern sewing girl contacted me to let me know about her Fish foam giveaway and that
one of her 3 winners did not collect her 3 cans of Fish foam she had as a giveaway, and when she picked another winner, it was ME!! Well, it came in the mail today and it was just the perfect day for it to arrive too! I realized something a week ago about myself that I didn't know. Looking back, every winter for as long as I remember I get into a funk after Christmas and am in it a few months until the sun comes out and the flowers come up. I guess I never really realized that I had it EVERY year or even what it is called. I went to see a Dr. about it last week because it is a bit more than my sometimes 'ADD procrastination' and she told me I have SAD. Seasonal Affective Disorder.  The winter blues. My Dr. recommended light therapy. About 30 minutes in the morning should help alot. I ordered an SAD light from Amazon, and I will keep you posted about how it goes. The weather here in St. Louis has been a little warmer, so I think that has helped me in the last few days. I have the day off today and I felt like cleaning. Something I have not done since before Christmas. Yeah, that bad. But like I said, the Fish foam came at a perfect time!! 

I looked around the house and tried to pick out the dirtiest surface I could attack with
this foam. The sliding glass door. Dog and kids in and out!! I always have the hardest
 time with it, not even sure what some of the smudge is that is on it,
just that it is gross! Here are some before and after's.

These shots do not do this glass door justice. Trust me it was gross! 

The after photo doesn't even look  like it was taken through glass!

This photo also was taken through the glass!

Nothing was safe from me and the foam!

I hit every appliance, TV, toaster, even my stainless steel trash can!

I have no idea what is in this stuff, but you only have to wipe it off. 

NO streaking and no having to reapply.It is amazing. 

Normally I would have to go over every surface a few times with Windex, 

as it would run and not stay put. The smell is so fresh and clean too! 

It gave me enough of a taste of clean to do the rest of my house!!

Yep, after a month of doing the bare minimum, my house is clean. For now!

Something else happened today too...

I have some furniture recycling I started working on, as well as my laundry room finally 

getting organized, that I will be showing in a future post soon. YEAH for doing somethings!!

My Wait a wee Meenit Wednesday's party is going on for a few more hours, 

and tomorrow I will feature some of the link ups.

You can link up anything you are proud of. It can be a craft, furniture refinishing, anything DIY, a recipe, tips or tutorials, I am not picky!

3. Try to look around at fellow link ups. Sometimes something that doesn't look that interesting in a space the size of a postage stamp can be deceiving, but if you click it anyway, you will be amazed at all the stuff you could have missed.
4. no giveaways or Etsy shops

That's it!!

Here is my button, and thanks for being a follower and a linker!

a feature and a giveaway!

I have this sign on my sidebar of my blog that I found on an etsy sight. I love it! It is exactly how I feel.

It came from this Etsy shop:

So I emailed Brooke @ EeeBee & Jack to ask her if I could you it on my blog.
She was so darling and I loved everything in her shop, so I just knew I wanted to do a feature of her Etsy shop.
And she was nice enough to give away ANY 8X10 print. They are printed on photographic paper, so it will look amazing! Details of how to win any print in her shop are at the bottom of this post, but first, a little about Brooke and some items from EeeBee & Jack.


 I started my shop up November of last year. It took a couple of months, but then my sales just took off. I am a full time medical photographer at a local hospital. (yep, I asked and she answered, she shoots anything medical you can think of, including dead people!) I just do this on the side because I enjoy it. I love doing custom orders for people because it's so much more personal that way. There are always so many inspiring ideas for prints everywhere I look. Just flipping through a magazine gets me writing down lists for new designs.
 I love the initials print I have for children's rooms. My 2 children each have one in their room. Of course the print can be altered for a last name or any other idea someone may have.

 My most popular print is "this is our happily ever after". I have sold that print to people all over the world. 

My prints are very simple. But that's how I like them best. I think it says so much more if it's simple like that.  Brooke :)

Thanks Brooke!

I think these would make a fantastic gift with the Holidays right around the corner. I have a few ornate vintage frames that these would look so fantastic in! Here is a favorite of mine she sells in the shop:

adorable, right?!!

Ok, so here are a few different ways of how to enter. You may enter up to 3 times!

1.) Visit Eee Bee & Jack and come back here and leave a comment telling me what 8X10 print you     would love to win.

2.) Follow a wee Meeit blog, or if you already follow me, leave a comment below.

3.) Follow a wee Meenit on Facebook here, then come back and leave a separate comment telling me you are now a Facebook follower!
