Each year I put together a post on ideas for Christmas Themes. I do love Christmas and over the last couple of years I have worked with a theme. I have found having a theme makes decisions easier as you make choices based upon your colours or motif etc.
You can find previous years Christmas theme ideas here:
- Christmas Theme Ideas 2011 – Black and White, Peppermint Candy and Eco Friendly themes.
- Christmas Theme Ideas 2010 – Natural, Blue and Silver, Red and White themes.
- Christmas Theme Ideas 2009 – Non Traditional Bright Colours, Natural, Red, Green and Silver themes.

Christmas is coming! YAY! Love all these ideas, and thanks for linking to my dove decoration. xx
After having a hectic 2012 i think the theme will be PEACE. I am going to use the hands of my 8 and have a christmas decoration making day. The birds and doves are absolutely beautiful. I like the video of making crackers. I will even be able to make some of the decorations with the loads of scrapbooking papers and items i have. Love the excellent simple themes you have provided. Thanks for the inspiration. Cheers to you.
