[Tink]

I love to decorate... my dh has actually teased me about decreasing the inside dimensions of our homes by painting so often. LOL

I don't have the energy to do all I used to, but I still get a bug occasionally to switch things around. I too prefer things with a history and sentiment to them. I never buy pricey items, but do buy things I can personalize or change to give me that same look.

I usually do a theme on my Christmas tree. I've done one with red velvet bows and candy canes, crystal angels and musical instruments, apples and pinecones, snowflakes and snowmen, blue and silver, gold and burgandy, etc. This year I'm uninspired so far... but I'm sure something will come to me. Many years I've had more than one tree just so I could play with more themes.

What I'd really like to do is to decorate outside on a small white wooden shed we have to make it appear to be Santas workshop. It would be something I'd need help doing though so probably wont get done this year.
