The First Nail in the Wall

I finally hung the first picture and got the words in my bedroom done... after over a week. We got this beautiful housewarming gift from one of my favorite people at the Hilltop, Susan. I found a place to hang it on the very first day that we moved in but it has been sitting in my bow window waiting for it to be safe. I'm nervous things will get knocked down. Today, with the help of my mom to make sure it was centered and straight, I hung up the first piece of art to hit the walls.
I decided I wanted to hang something above our bed that read "Always kiss me good night." It is one of my favorite phrases, and I like sayings as opposed to art work above the bed. Rather than go find a framed print, I thought I'd be creative. I took wooden letters from A.C. Moore and painted them the color of the other three walls in the bedroom. I did all sorts of research on what to hang them on the wall with and found out that Scotch tape was my best bet; it shouldn't peel the paint or leave marks. I got the tape measure and the level and found the center. I grabbed the W and climbed up on my bed to start the phrase and the double-stick Scotch tape wouldn't hold the W to the wall for more than a millisecond. I gave up. That was about a week ago. I finally decided to get more creative. I took some of the glue dots that I use when I scrapbook and put them on top of the double-stick Scotch tape. Then I put more double-stick tape on top of the glue dot. I don't know how or why it works now, but it did, and I think I kind of like the way it came out.
