“Easy Canvas Prints” Review & Giveaway

I was pretty excited when Easy Canvas Prints contacted me about doing a review and a giveaway on my blog. I think canvas photos are so neat—yet I’ve never bought one. Plus, my brother and his fiancée had just shared their {really beautiful oceanside} engagement pictures with us. I thought a canvas print would make a fun wedding gift.

Giveaway Winner: Pink Blush Maternity

Just wanted to stop by today and pick a winner for the $25 gift certificate to Pink Blush Maternity for the giveaway.

Pink Blush Maternity Giveaway

This is my third pregnancy and at only 27 weeks along, I am already tired of my maternity clothing. I guess I’ve worn most of it for two other pregnancies already. However, I've recently discovered there’s a great website called Pink Blush Maternity that has a lot of trendy maternity styles! 

They sent me this dress to review. It is extremely comfortable!

SteamMachine Review & Giveaway

I was contacted a few weeks ago by HomeRight, a company who distributes SteamMachine, a steam cleaner. They asked if I wanted to try one and give one away to my readers. In the midst of a home nearly overtaken with the stomach virus, my SteamMachine arrived.

As soon as I was feeling better, I wanted to start sanitizing the house so my husband to help keep my husband from getting the stomach virus. The steam machine was easy to put together. The attachments seen above are all included, but the instructions are easy to read and understand, so I easily figured out what attachments I wanted to use.
I started with the bathrooms and then did the hard floors in my house. Cleaning with the SteamMachine was simple. It doesn’t require any chemicals, just water, that it boils into steam. I used the fixture attachment and then the floor attachment in the bathrooms.
Another thing that I like about the SteamMachine is that it is relatively lightweight. I could carry it around the house easily. It also has a long cord and a long hose to avoid having to move it often.  Many of the attachments are carried on-board, which is convenient.
It can clean shower doors and windows with the squeegee attachment. I plan to use this feature the next time I clean.

What I like about cleaning with the SteamMachine:
1. Easy setup.
2. Doesn’t require chemicals to sanitize.
3. Lightweight, long hose and cord.
4. Several attachments for cleaning different surfaces.

 
Also, if you are planning to remove wallpaper, the SteamMachine has an attachment that allows one to complete this process. Two years ago, I removed wallpaper in two of my parents’ bathrooms without the aid of any machine like this and it resulted in much drywall repair (which is a pain!) I recommend trying a SteamMachine for that process if you’ve got wallpaper removal in your future.
Would you like to win a SteamMachine? HomeRight is giving one away to followers of Monkey See, Monkey Do!

Last Day to Enter Fabric Giveaway

Just wanted to remind you all to enter the fabric giveaway from Sew Fine Fabric! 

We're picking a winner tomorrow!

Fabric Giveaway from Sew Fine Fabric

As I make more things for my kids and home, I find myself looking beyond predictable chain fabric stores for interesting fabric choices. I also love shopping online because it means I don’t have to take two active boys into a store! I tend to be a slow shopper, agonizing over what to buy. If you are like me and want to take your time choosing unique, quality fabrics that are shipped to your door for a (low!) shipping cost, check out Jodi, my friend at Sew Fine Fabric! (She lives in NE Ohio, where I moved from last year!)

Last week, I ordered some wonderfully colorful fabric from Sew Fine Fabric on Sunday night and it was in my mailbox on Tuesday afternoon. What great service!

Today Jodi is offering Monkey See, Monkey Do readers a giveaway! She’s giving away seven fat quarters from her collection of Desert Daydream fabrics.

  

Would you like to win one fat quarter of each of the fabrics pictured? Then follow Monkey See, Monkey Do and go to Sew Fine Fabric and leave a comment letting me know what items you like best!
For a second entry, leave a comment below letting me know you follow Monkey See, Monkey Do on Facebook!
Jodi has a blog. If you purchase fabric from her, make sure you send her a picture of your finished item so she can feature you!
I’ll select a winner on March 29th, so make sure to enter before that date!

A HarmonyArt Fabric Giveaway!

If you haven’t already heard of Harmony Art Organic Design Fabrics, go familiarize yourself NOW!

Harmony graciously sent me some beautiful organic knit yardage in her solstice print and apricot solid to test drive. I chose to use the fabulously popular flat front yoga skirt tutorial to make a cute little skirt. (I can’t wait for it to be warm and sunny!)

This fabric was so wonderfully easy to work with. It’s a great weight, soft, easy to cut and sew and the edges won’t roll up like a lot of knits.

I will be hoarding my scraps for future projects!

If you’re interested in starting to sew with knits, I think Harmony Arts is a great fabric line with which to learn. And the flat-front yoga skirt is a fun pattern to make! (It’s very comfy.)

Now for the really good part. Harmony sent me an extra yard (it’s a little more than a yard, actually!) of the apricot color knit to give away to one of my readers! It’s a 60” wide piece, big enough to make yourself a skirt or two. (If you have girls, make a few matching skirts!)

To enter to win this yard of apricot interlock fabric:

1. If you’re a follower of Monkey See, Monkey Do, go to HarmonyArt.com and comment about which is your favorite fabric!

2. For a second entry: go “Like” Money See, Monkey Do on Facebook! Then leave a comment telling me you did this!

3. For a third entry: go “Like” Harmony Art Organic Designs on Facebook! Leave another comment.

And if you don’t win and want to purchase some yardage, be sure to order from HarmonyArt retailers.

This giveaway will close on January 24th at 9 am! It is only open to US residents. Get your comments started.
