I'm in!

1.  I have two main trees.  The first (family) tree I decorate with all colors!  My second Pink tree is pink!  The rest of my home decorating is virtually all red and green!

2.  My tree does not have a theme.  Anything goes and is welcome on my tree (except for that awful thing mentioned in #5). 

3.  My decorating style is . . . anything goes!  I love traditional, country, hodge podge, retro, etc.  I love tracking down older ornaments from the 60's and 70's!

4.  There are no collections on my tree.

5.  I . . . hate . . . snowmen.  HATE them.  It's completely irrational and my reasons are petty, but I simply hate them.  So please, do not send me a snowman.  I won't like it even if it's pink.  And when I say SNOWMAN, I mean a snowman of any kind -- made out of seashells or candy or other items. 

6.  Stay away from snowmen and Flasher will be happy!
