    I guess I could say 'Romantic'. I designed the bed, my husband built it. The framed pics are throughout the house.

    I love that, it's beautiful.

    Here we are sort of a mish mash of themes...I have lots of death hag related stuff; skeletons, coffins, cemetery pics. I also love WWII era pics and I have a few of those. My kitchen is done in a cherry theme. The bedroom is sort of a romantic theme I suppose, and I love angels too so there's a bunches of those around here too. My daughter's room is supposed to be more of a rose garden, but somehow the princess' made there way in there.

    I have a collection of Grateful Dead Beanie Babies. I guess thats more of an item and not a theme though.

    I guess my theme is shabby chic. Love old stuff, especially art deco from the 50s. My favorite piece is a chest of drawers I snagged at a garage sale for $20! It's a beautiful smokey gray with original hardware without a scratch on it. Best bargin of my life.

    Rustic country. Everything is metal art and a country theme.

    I love stars... I have stars on whatever I can get my hands on... the last thing I got was a star tattoo on my wrist, they'll probably be all over my body before long.

    My whole living room is filled with Disney Haunted Mansion and Pirates attraction things. I have all the large stretching hallway portraits and other good stuff framed everywhere. Also, tons of collectables to go along with it.

    My bathroom is themed with antique drug and medical/dental equipment, including framed medical charts and an old human skeleton print. I only have a few morgue related things but looking to acquire some more.

    I have a collection of antique lighters, the best of which is a WWII era table lighter with the German flag inscribed in it and a 1950's Camel lighter.

    The rest of the house has taxidermy collectables and old carnival prints, I like to decorate the wall antlers around Christmas time it really brings a smile to peoples faces!

    I have 4 sitting on my kitchen counter unopened. What are you looking for. Today is trash day and out they were gonna go. I have boys and no matter how many times I say "6 piece happy meal FOR A BOY" I still get the dolls. If I have what you are looking for they are yours.

    Is one of the munchkins a girl munchkin wearing yellow? This one doesn't have a tag on it. She has these other little Madame Alexander dolls so I am not sure which one this is.

    The top ones are last years...I am not really concerned about them...The bottom ones are this years...GUYS I LOVE YOU...If you do have unopened ones I encourage you to put them on EBAy...They are gettin a bundle for them...Especially if they are not opened...I open mine IMMEDIATELY!!! I can't stand it...So the condition is not a problem...I can fix their hair in a jiffy...The ones on the top are all I have...

    I'll get a few happy meals out here and see what we got out here in the desert. I'd be more than happy to send one out to you that you don't have

    We have the witch and the little munchkin girl from this year and I'm sure there will be more Happy Meals soon. Do you want them?

    YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!!! I love these little things so much...I am an OZ fan from way back...I don't care what shape they are in, if they have tags, crayon marks...I just don't care...My hubby is going to build a shadow box for me and I am going to paint the yellow brick road in the background and then fasten them in the box...I am a doll LUNATIC!!! If they are from last year, this year...I don't care...You guys are SO awesome...Let me know how much postage is and I will gladly pay...

    Oh sheesh, How, send me a thank you card or something. I still have to see if my teething Pom puppy hasn't chewed off the feet or anything. We have a couple severely handicapped Barbies around lately, no feet or hands.

    Oh and I'm a big Oz fan, but have no room to display these. I covet one of the limited edition Wizard Of Oz Swatches from way back when. I had one back in the day and lost it tubing down the Delaware River.

    Ok, I just had to throw this out there. I think they're an awesome collectioin, and I'd be happy to send you the Cowardly Lion that I have, if you want it (and I LOVE the Wizard of Oz too). But, someone got the Scarecrow at work, and, swear to God, it's the scariest thing EVER! The look on it's face, the eyes, and it's HEAD SPINS ALL THE WAY AROUND!! We laughed so hard. Again, I'm sorry, I don't mean to offend, I just thought of that conversation. Anyway, I saw that you had a Cowardly Lion, but I'll send it free of charge if you (or anyone else) want it. It's from this year, if that matters. It's just sitting on my nightstand, collecting dust...

    These are from recently? I don't eat there, but I'll be happy to go by and see which ones I can buy.

I love the Wizard of Oz and have the wicked witch hallmak ornament, I have a bumper sticker that says "things just haven't been the same since that house fell on my sister" and I have a sign in my house that says " Nobody gets in to see the wizard, not nobody, not no how"...I love that movie!!

    Yet another reason I love to shop Good Will and yard sales. My friend Holly collects those copper mold things for her kitchen walls and I got her a sun shaped one for 49 cents at the Good Will.

    49 cents!!!

    What Type Of Music Do You Collect?

    Today I went to a huge flea market in Rogers, Ohio and I was amazed that a guy was selling there that used to sell me records about 15 years ago when I went there with my grandfather. I actually bought about seven LPs, and it got me wondering...what type of music do you collect? We have come a long way since 78rpms. You can vote as many types as you collect...

    Let your votes be heard! (In my opinion, long live the LP!)

    I like to go to garage sales and buy old LP's (mostly for the covers); but for actually listening to music I buy CDs and mp3's.

    I forgot to include reel to reel tapes as a choice. Does anyone remember that? That was before audio cassettes.
