Likes: I love traditional looking items, more antique and heirloom ish. But I also love classic Christmas such as Santa or reindeer or angels with pretty faces. Anything sparkly with possibly beads.

Dislikes: Religious, nativity stuff, anything else I am sure I would love :)

Colours?: I love teal and gold or burgundy and gold.

Extra Info: I am a sucker for Eeyore. I have a huge collection of Eeyore ornaments :oops: also love anything that sparkles.

Since the secret santa bit was my idea, I better post too!

Lets see..

Likes: Elegant, classic, or humorous/witty stuff. Some examples of designers I love.. most LHN, Bothy, Ink Circles, Fab Reilly. Small amounts of bling. Designs inspired by christmas carols - 12 days of christmas and silent night are my 2 favorite carols.

Dislikes: Overly cutesy childish stuff (cute is good, childish is not). Religious themes of any sort.

Colors: I love rich deep colors, jeweltones, subtle color variations. Not a big fan of pure primary colors unless there are more colors thrown into the mix. Don't particularly like pastels on their own, but love a pastel when paired with something bold (pale blue and dark brown for example) I love anything in the range of burgundy to maroon.

Anything else: I'm also a knitter and spinner, and love things that cross over between both crafts. I've got an unhealthy obsession with chocolate and bacon (even better when combined together!) and a fairly warped sense of humor. My blog has pictures of the ornaments I've stitched over the last year (woefully out of date, but I'm working on that over the next few weeks) so will be a great place to see the sort of stuff I like.

Likes: Penguins, Owls, Cats, or traditional Christmas themes. Religious Christmas things are okay, but no angels with wings (long story). I do a "memory tree" so anything non-Christmas is also okay.

Dislikes: If dark colors they need to be more jewel toned. Not a fan of really primitive/county/rustic/medieval styled patterns or samplers.

Colors: Favorite color is pink, but I love any bright color combinations (pink/orange/lime green is a current favorite). I also like pastels, or bright jewel tones like amethyst and sapphire.

Extra Info: Other interests are reading and jigsaw puzzles. I LOVE Disney, especially princesses (majority of my tree is Disney ornaments). I love fairy tales.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head, but will come back and edit if I think of something. :D

Additional - something that makes it personal or local from the sender is a plus
