My Halloween Christmas Tree

I just got my laptop back from being repaired after being broken for ever two weeks, which is a long time to be cut off from the internet and thus the world, in my case. Anyhow, here's my little Christmas tree. It's Halloween themed, just like I have always wanted. (The boyfriend actually approves-- and he's pretty grinchy.) This is our first year doing it, so the ornaments are kinda skimpy, but we plan to buy more next Halloween.

Some of the ornaments were recycled halloween bric-a-brac, a few were thrifted, and the lights and other ornarments were collected over the past few months on sale at The Christmas Tree Shoppe and KMart.

Enjoy your holiday, everyone!

P.S. You'll be pleased to know that our two cats have been knocking it down and stealing the ornaments non-stop. Ugh.

More Eyeball Jewelry: Eyeball Ear Cuff

 



I am eyeball obsessed these days. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I work for an optometrist? And for some crazy reason, eyeballs are all the rage right now. I found this rad ear cuff on eBay. Seriously, people, eBay is the new frontier for fashionistas. There is a lot of crap to dig through, but you can find some real fashion gems on eBay. I got mine from this seller for $1.49.

About a week ago, I got this lovely bracelet in the mail, also from ebay:



 

The next piece I need is an eyeball ring, which I am in the process of making, once I get the ring bases in the mail. Thanks eBay!

 

 

DIY Skeleton Hand Collartips

 




Took some leftover skeleton hands from crafts of years past, glued lapel pins to them and attached a chain. So easy, it's stupid. Saw the idea on tumblr. By the way, why don't you check out Thrifty Cent's tumblr?
