  1. I do so love me a theme–I think the Yummy Tree is my fave from your list–suits my eclectic nature these days.
    Last year our tree theme was "tacky"–we have a million and seven ornaments so we took only the tackiest and put them on the tree.

    • I think that the favorite themed tree was one that I did at my Hair Salon. I did it with old hair products, hats, cosmetics and such. One year I did one with a 50’s tree with turquoise cars, poodle skirts, hula hoops and records. I could go on and on because everytime I get an ‘IDEA’ I want to go with it but, how many trees can I get in a house?

  7. When my sister and I got older and didn’t mind my mom getting rid of our homemade ornaments my parents had a red, green, and gold themed tree. It had a lot of music related stuff on it too.

    Before Hubby and I had kids, our theme was different shades of blue and white with various snowman.
