    I'm so excited as I just bought all new decorations on Saturday We have a 7ft, classic looking artificial tree and I'm decking it out in lime green and purple with a touch of silver (tinsel and the star on top). We have those groovy LED lights already and they looked great last year.

    I can't wait to put it up. Might do it tonight actually!

    mine sounds so boring now lol
    im starting to think i should make it silver, purple and green as well now!!! but that means i just wasted a whole heap on red and gold!

    OT here but anyone else got decorations from target? I got some today and they dont have strings!!! not even untied ones.

    I know from Myer you can buy the little wire hook things that go through the whole then hook onto the branches.

    Must say girls all your trees sound fantastic. I have at present a multi coloured tree but I do like the idea of going through decorations and picking a theme. Will remember that for next year.

    i got some from myer yesterday & the same thing.

    we just had hand-me-down decorations that were getting a bit ratty and after reading this thread i decided we need a colour scheme! so we're having red & pale green can't decide what colour tinsel though

    Yep, I bought all mine from Target on the weekend (40% off ) but couldn't believe they don't have any string! I'm going to get the little hooks though as I tied string to my old decorations when I first bought them and it took AGES

    I got some gold and silver twine from Spotlight. Go to the craft counter and explain what you want, they will know. That way I can make the hole as big as I need it to fit safely over a branch
