I just agreed to do a craft show, which is in less than a month!
I've dug out all of my ribbon and am getting wreath production in full swing. I want to make sure I have a good selection of colors, so can you tell me:


What colors do you tend to decorate with at Christmas?


For me, my living room is mostly dark green, sage green and gold. My kitchen is light blue and silver. My breezeway is ivory and gold.

HI! I just like to use the traditional colors. Hunter greens and cranberry reds. I will also through in some white here and there. I didn't do much decorating last year with three kittens running around. NOt sure if I can do much either this year, they still are holy terrors. Anyway, I think the greens, reds and whites are just sharp and classic!!!!!

p.s. OH Abby is adorable in your siggy!!!!
Just love the leaf on her face. Tooooooooo cute

I love bright red things for christmas. Big red bows, santa hats, stockings, etc. We don't have a 'theme' tree, we just have lots of color on it. I like the dark reds and greens too, but my preference is bright colors.

Have fun crafting!!

Where my cats are
I use a dark red and gold for most of the house. But I also do blue and silver. Like with a cobalt blue, light blue and silver.

My Mother has one tree she does all in red and white. The other rooms are all the traditional Christmas colors with multi-colored lights and things.

DH and I have silver and light blue. Mom has the green/red/gold. However she does have some Victorian pink with gold.

Themes are nice. Cream, county light blueish color and a gold. Saw that on a TV show once.
The multi colors are good for the childhood memories.
I had one cat that climbed in the christmas tree. Orniment flying all over the floor.
She is gone now. But I think of her with every scent of a tree I take in.

We alternate between the traditional: gold, red, forest green, creamy white; and the "icy" decorations: silver, bright white, clear, and blue (all different blues including turquoise).

I like the idea of a "nature" tree with some of the colors of green, yellow-gold, berry red, black, brown, mushroom white.

I use red/silver/white and crystal. I love the sharpness of the combination. I even use real glass balls to get the ultimate sharpness.
