This particular day, we had just finished putting up our trees...the one in the living room was fabulous...like out of a magazine and I was so proud of it! About 2am, it came crashing down...glass ornaments and all...oh my what a sound that makes. I just started screaming, just knowing someone had just broke into the house....I woke everyone in the house up. It was hilarious...after I calmed down of course!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06987814500457262146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212416519726161477.post-56033955319407926582008-12-08T14:20:00.000-05:002008-12-08T14:20:00.000-05:00I tend to trip a lot.

I am so glad you are alright and the garland is too. :) Really you did a great job. My sister-in-law uses 2 25 lb hand weights to weigh hers down so it won't fall off the mantel. She acutally uses a board that sits on top of her mantel so it won't scratch and then she attaches her garland on that with the weights. Hope that might help you out next time.The Style Sistershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01018913362680137549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212416519726161477.post-65189242131441624882008-12-07T10:14:00.000-05:002008-12-07T10:14:00.000-05:00Visiting via BPOTW...At least all mishaps in life ...Visiting via BPOTW...<BR/><BR/>At least all mishaps in life can eventually be turned into funny blog posts, right?
