Pure Brilliance

 

An Amazing salute to my favorite Christmas movie.

Alternative Navities

Nativities for those of us who think outside the manger.

This little gem below for sale on Etsy.

 

Then there is this one I made out of a bowl of stuff at a lodge near the Sax Zim bog.

The Sax Zim Bog you say - why were you there Lady M?  Looking for Great Gray Owls, White Winged Crossbills and Boreal Chickadees of course. They hang meat in the forest there, like a serial killer is their decorator.

We were actually in the twin cities for my Niece's wedding.  She had a little Nightmare Before Christmas vibe going.

Have a Happy Holiday doing whatever floats your boat.

Creepmas Day 13

It's the final day of Creepmas and his Lordship and I opened our stockings this morning.  He only got black licorice but as Krampus' favorite, I got all sorts of treasures.

Let see there are some minis Krampus got at Michaels on sale, a pair of skeleton socks from the thrift store, a new tea diffuser and a waist corset in black.

We also opened gifts with Baby M, my Son and His Lordship before Creepmas dinner party.  Again His Lordships gifts are to boring to picture here.  But mine - wait till you see them.

Frankenstein's Monster Cookie Jar

Whiskey Jack Poster

Hand thrown skull mug - the kids got this at the Renaissance Fair.

It has been a good Creepmas but today I pull all decorations down to get ready for that other holiday which is barrelling down on me.  So thanks for being a part of Creepmas!  I have enjoyed having you as guests of the Haunted Parlor.

Polaroids with Krampus

  Thanks to everyone who hung out for Creepmas - it was great fun to celebrate with you.  I hope you enjoyed this most joyous of holidays and keep a dark spark in your hearts for Creepmas. Today Baby M and I drove to Denver to Ritualcravt to have a Polaroid taken with Krampus.  I had it made into a Creepmas card for all of you.

Creepmas Day 12

 The White House Christmas decorations are up and as expected altogether too Christmas-sy.

Oh come back Slovenian witch of the previous administration and show this Flotus how to infuse some Creepmas spirit into the Holiday. 

Oh Yeh - that's better.  And, of course, the red one was pretty awesome too.

I mean these are incredible.  Of course, if I had the US taxpayer footing the bill, the Haunted Parlor could be pretty outstanding too. As it stands, I spent about $30.00 in the thrift/dollar stores this year.

We can't forget the fun the fans had infusing even more Creepmas spirit.

 When Melania said "fucking Christmas", she really meant it.  She's a creeper at heart.  I sure hope she's down in Florida creeping up Mar-a-Lago.

A Creepmas Suprise

 Today I recieved a Creepmas Suprise from none other than Highbury of the Highbury Cemetery.  It was the 2021 Highbury Cemetery T-shirt designed and scream  screen printed by Highbury himself.  It is fabulous and perfect to wear tonight to the Creepmas dinner party with a belt and some leggings.

It came packaged with all kinds of little treats. 

I am gonna have fun crafting with those.  

Thank you Highbury. I love it. I am just blown away by how talented you are.  If you are not a follower of the Highbury Cemetery, check it out.  It is an amazing haunt.

Creepmas Day 11

 I created  Creepmas Cookies for the guests.  I made some skulls in santa hats, some Frankenstien's Monsters in Santa Hats and some pissed off Ghost Santas with bugs in their beards.

They are vegan cookies so my meat munching guest are just gonna have to deal.
 

Creepmas Day 10

Tomorrow I am hosting a Creepmas Dinner party.  My Decorations are up and I know you would like to see them.

Creepmas Day 9

Since his Lordship hails from the British Isle, Crackers are always part of our midwinter tradition.  If you are unfamiliar with the custom,  they are little toilet rolls wrapped in paper and filled with a joke, a  hat, a prize and a treat.  The guest pull them apart and a small fire cracker explodes.  Then everyone must wear the hat and tell their joke. Since I have never found any Creepmas Crackers, I am forced to make my own.

This years prize will be a Creepmas Keychain.
 Since I exhausted the list of Christmas monster jokes back in 2019 when last made crackers, I have had to write some of my own.  I am sure they will be groan worthy. 

I am covering the cracker in my homemade wrapping paper and including a lump of edible coal.

Creepmas Day 8

So much incredible Creepmas Merch is cropping up on the internet that I just had to share some of it.   I would gladly take any of this stuff.   Etsy Marketplace has incredible offerings.

EverythingAfterCo has a variety of  dancing skeleton pillows for your creepy Christmas.  Now I think we can all agree that I, Lady M, did the dancing Creepmas skeleton first as shown here in this blog post circa 2017.  A little credit would be nice and my name has not been mentioned once in connection to these dancing skeles.

Love this distressed Creepmas sweatshirt handmade by PsTeesCorp.

These Jolly Reindeer Skull dangling earrings are super cute. You can find them here.

Made With Ink Designs has all kinds of interesting things from dancing skeles clothing to mugs.

I would love to have a Creepmas Door mat although I would prefer dancing skeletons!  This can be found on Say10crafts.

Yes Etsy is booming but what about my local craft scene?  I recently went to a makers event at Who Gives a Scrap and out of 12 vendors, at least 3 had Creepmas offerings.  I was blown away. 

I also found these ornaments at my local garden center - rather than put them away after Halloween, they just rolled them into Christmas.  I think I can see a day on the horizon when I won't have to craft Creepmas stuff at all.  The holiday really has taken on a life of it's own.

I wonder if I will get anything from the wish list? Only time will tell.
