A Few of My Favorite Things...

Inspired by another blogger on Blogspot, I've decided to do a "weekly feature". Since I'm currently fairly active in the crafting world, I'll be posting my favorite projects from various sites that reflect certain themes. I'll try and limit it to only a few items a week, but we'll have to wait and see what happens. I'll tell you what the theme is, why I like what I picked and link you up to it's original site.

I've got Halloween on my mind right now, so my favorite things for this week will be based on Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (my favorite movie of all time), and Corpse Bride. Please enjoy!



First off is this FABULOUS cake! Jason actually told me it would have been the perfect wedding cake for us. I agree. I first saw it on Cake Wrecks, and had to check out its creator, Christopher Garren of Let Them Eat Cake after seeing it. I am in awe. (Also check out his Corpse Bride cake; it's awesome as well!)


Next is an item I received in an online "Favorite Movie" swap. My swap partner, the fabulous "ohyouprettythings" created this fabulous Jack Skellington bracelet/necklace holder. It is made from polymer clay and has a wire armature. He is watching over me right now from the window ledge where he stands next to the Nightmare Before Christmas Collector's Edition box. You can check out my craftster post and see all the other wonderful things she sent me here.


Next are these great wood burned wall hangings of Victor and Emily from Corpse Bride by "Ramsie" from craftster. These are amazing and I hope to one day emulate them when my pyrography skills improve. Her original post.


I love these "Haunted Holiday" cards by shesbattydesigns. Not that I would actually send something so cool. I'd probably just buy one to hang out by Jack on the window sill.


This next item, by TheBohemianGoddess, is absolutely STUNNING! I would buy this and wear it every Halloween for years if I had to to make it worth it. I have been admiring this one for several Halloweens now!


Frogsandflowers created this Jack, Sally & the Gang bracelet that would be a joy to wear. It's the perfect chunky bracelet and I'm afraid Jason would have to tell me to quit wearing it!



I think I'm in love with chunky bracelets because here's another one by poetsummer. (Check out her etsy store; TONS of fab stuff!) I love the black and white color palette on this one...you could wear it with anything.


Well, that's this week's crafty feature. I hope you liked it and found some crafty inspiration! I think I'm off to start some soup for dinner and see if there's anything in my stash for creating a chunky bracelet! Adios!
