Friday Finds, Nightmare Style: Jack Skellington

Nightmare Before ChristmasLast year, my Pumpkin King gifted me with a shiny new The Nightmare Before Christmas Collector's Edition DVD. I watch the movie all year long, not just around Halloween, so my VHS version was starting to moan when rewinding. I happily laid it with the rest of my collection.

Over the years, I've acquired several official Nightmare treasures, including Jack and Sally Wind Up Toys, a Boogie's Boys Pen Holder, Shock Headknocker, two identical Sally Fleece Blankets (I couldn't bear to return either when I received both as gifts) Rag Doll Perfume, even an Oogie Boogie Lava Lamp.

My shrine to Halloween Town is also sprinkled with one of a kind items. A talented glass etcher sent me a Jack and Sally cookie jar from a craft swap on Craftster. Friend and fellow artist E Krumm cut out an awesome Jack silhouette from white foam core and framed it on black as a house warming gift.

My eyes are always peeled like grapes for more handmade treats! Luckily, Jack Skellington is a popular man on Etsy to find. Who can resist someone so tall, dead and handsome?

Makeup Giveaway: All Natural Mineral Cosmetics by Madison Street Beauty

EDIT: Giveaway is officially closed. Congratulations to Rita Szlovencsák for submitting the randomly chosen 57th entry. Perhaps it's the hot weather and the drought in Delaware, but I have been daydreaming about being a mermaid. That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered. Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first? The owners, Bridget and Rhys, are currently celebrating their one year Etsyversary and offering an astonish...
