I took command of my space and won a contest on Facebook from the 3M Command Brand company a couple weeks ago.
You know all those command strips and hooks you can use on your walls or other places without doing damage to the wall.
All I did was submit a couple pictures into their contest on Facebook and I was picked as the week 2 winner.
You can totally be a winner too!!
All you have to do is use some of the Command products and enter a picture into the contest on Facebook. Easy as that! They are picking a new every week through December 25th so there is plenty of time to still win!
You want to see what I won?! Oh, you know you do!! 🙂
First, I guess I should tell you what I submitted.
I submitted my shutter project since I hung everything on my shutters with small command hooks.
I was notified that I won and there was a couple steps all in all to get my winnings.
I first had to get some papers notarized and mailed back to New York within a few days.
Once they received the paper work, I got the first part of my prize.
A fabulous box full of goodies!



I also won $100 worth of Command products. Here’s what I received:Key or jewelry organizers.

How fabulous is all that?!
But wait… There’s more!!
I ALSO won $500!!!!
But in order to receive my $500, I had to use my new Flip Video Camera and make a video of how I used Command products and submit it to them within 7 days of receiving the camera.
Below is my video.
(Hopefully it works! It’s my first time adding video into my posts.)
PLEASE be nice and don’t make fun! I know it isn’t great.
I am SO not one to talk in front of a camera. Travis recorded me and I think I created about 10 videos of outtakes before we finally got the final result. I hate it but it was fun all at the same time.
I just received my $500 in the mail so I thought it was about time to finally post about my win.
So, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! GO SUBMIT A PROJECT!!
P.S I didn’t have to post about this contest. I just wanted to share with all of you.
