How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Deck The Halls With SassyModernMom

in Everyday on 11/14/11

I love Christmas.  It’s a wonderful time to play hostess at parties, make real time for your family, and of course deck the halls out in the most beautiful decorations of the year.  Christmas decorations! My problem, the decorating ideas in my head never turn out quite as envisioned?  Part of my issue.  Nails. I have nail hole anxiety.  It only takes one or two “little slips” to leave you with a wall full of nail holes and one red faced from laughing until his sides hurt Hubby.  Me, nails, Christmas decoration placement…yah. It has always equalled disaster.  Until now!!

The lovely people of 3M and Everythingmom.com sent me a huge array of Command Brand Decorative Hooks and a decorating challenge.  I am one of 15 bloggers who was challenged to use 3M Command products in a Holiday Decor Challenge!  Want to know what I did?  

I took this plain old mantel from this:

To this:IMG_6752 Do you love?  I do! 

I hope you will pop over to Everythingmom.com and browse the holiday gallery of pictures created by all the creative bloggers participating in the Deck The Halls 3M program.  While you are there perhaps you will consider throwing a vote for me as your favourtie display!  (you know because I’m your favourite Sassy decorating diva)  If you do vote there will be chances for you to win one of the many Visa Gift Cards.  New cash prizes every single week!! The gallery with the most votes will also win a cash prize! 

Thanks, you can vote for me here! Vote for Stephanie!!

      I love it! I just cannot decorate! Although, not worrying about nail holes would help me place things, step back and look, then move around whatever doesn’t look right. Great idea!

      I think you did a stellar job! I’m going to have steal the idea of using those stars for wall art next year.
