We learn a lot from crayons:
some are sharp; some are dull; some are pretty;
some have weird names; all are different colors.
And they all have to learn to live in the same box.

Well, I'm certainly glad NO ONE is in totally finished category yet! Although I'm sure one of our totally together ladies will be there soon

Hey....I'm just curious....how many of you ladies have baseball themed Christmas Trees? I have three trees for Christmas (don't even ask!), and one of them is entirely baseball. Of course we have that tree located in the game room which is decorated in baseball paraphenalia and memorabilia. I'm sure I can't be the only one!

Found some great glass baseball ornaments in 2 sizes at Hobby Lobby, sent them home with son with a minature tree. First tree of his own....ho hum.

Kathy ...

We don't have a baseball themed tree, but we do have one corner of our family room that is decorated during the year with baseball *** and memorabilia ... and during the holidays, the only decorations in that corner MUST have a baseball or a mitt on them somewhere. (We also have a "fishing" area for my hubby's other hobby ... and likewise, those Santas etc better be fishing or they must move!!!)

I have a 7' baseball tree. I started collecting ornaments when Matt was young and I have wrote the year on the bottom of each one. He and I put it up this weekend and he couldn't believe how many different ornaments we have. It was fun. I plan to pass them on to him when he gets married. Hope she likes baseball

03Parent,

You hope she "likes" baseball? I would consider that a prerequisite! Our tree is 7' also....it really is amazing the number of baseball ornaments you can find!

We had a white-out blizzard here this am...
Thought I would head out to shop and get some things I need to finish decorating but I had to turn around...the drivers here panic with a little snow.

In one of my Martha Stewart moments, I took a birch tree which had fallen in an ice storm and
cut the braches down to fit in a very large basket. Rachel had just made the cut out snowflakes (she was 6, or so) at school. We tied them with silk ribbons and attached a NYY sticker to the center of each snowflake...3 strings of white lights and it's become a year round tree in our formal LR.....

A little tree in the FR has all my Dad's old baseball books under it....and we mix a nice basket of equal parts baseballs and pine cones.
