In case you hadn’t noticed, I am a BIG The Nightmare Before Christmas fan. Jack Skellington and I are buddies, that’s for sure! I was at Disneyland with my family last week, and we went to Mickey’s Halloween Party. Ah-MAZE-ing!! This time of year The Haunted Mansion is decked out The Nightmare Before Christmas style, both inside and out. My boy and I went on it and I was in heaven, especially since the Dapper Dans (the Disneyland barbershop quartet) were floating on a foggy river in ghoulish makeup singing songs from the movie while we were waiting in line. Swoon. I wanted to get a picture with my boyfriend Jack, but the line was super long to meet him, and I had already maxed out my character line waiting tolerance on princesses and superheroes earlier in the day. 😉

Much to my dismay, The Nightmare Before Christmas ideas aresorely underrepresented in the world of crafts and tutorials. I looked and looked and LOOKED on both Google and Pinterest.
