Wall-E

A couple of weekends ago my boyfriend and I rented the movie Wall-E. We thought it was a really good family movie that our son would enjoy. I have to say that it was a pretty cute movie but at the same time it was pretty slow moving. For one there isn't much dialogue. My son seemed to enjoy it and he actually asked to watch it a couple of times after we had already returned it back to the movie store. My boyfriend however ended up falling asleep and missing the whole end of the movie. Atleast my son liked it though because that's who we really rented it for. All in all I guess I would recommend it for those younger movie goers out there but for those of us who enjoy dialogue in a movie I guess I would have to say move along when you see Wall-E in the rental store.

New Moon

I have finished the second book in the "Twilight" saga called "New Moon." While it wasn't as good as "Twilight" I still enjoyed reading it and I will still continue on with the series. I think that the lack of Edward in this book was what slowed the story down for me. He brings in a lot of the drama and romance which is what makes the book more exciting for me. Hopefully he will once again be the main male character in the next book which is entitled "Eclipse." Apparently "Eclipse" has not come out in paperback yet, so sadly I will have to wait to purchase it. I have already purchased "Twilight" and "New Moon" in paperback and I always prefer to have my series all the same. It's going to be hard to wait!

Featured Etsy Seller: AdirondackMetals


Adirondack Metal Designs is a family owned business. We operate out of our shop near the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains in beautiful upstate New York. My name is Brenda. My husband Ed and I began this business as a way for him to leave the construction industry and work for himself. I am in charge of the website, programming and business end of things while he makes the products. I also work full time as a Speech Pathologist with my own private practice. I wish I could work on the metal business all of the time and retire from my real job. We specialize in silhouette metal art. Our products are made with a combination of plasma cutting and welding. We currently have table top sculptures, wall art, yard stakes, key racks, welcome signs, bookends, napkin holders, and wall hooks. Our themes include wildlife, farm animals, western, marine life, sports, and more. If you don't see your favorite theme in our shop, contact us. We can also customize many of our items for you. The pieces come standard with a black hammered finish. Any special paint requests are also welcome. We can work together to meet your specific needs.We can use any of our silhouettes for a custom welcome sign, address sign or name signs.

Twilight


I have recently started and recently finished the book called "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer. It was so good I had such a hard time putting it down to even spend some time with my family! Before I had even finished "Twilight" I knew I was going to end up reading the whole series, so my boyfriend and I went out to one of our local Borders bookstores and bought the next book in the series called "New Moon". I have just started reading that one and I hope it's as good as "Twilight" was! I have not seen the movie yet, but a few of my co-workers have gone to see it multiple times. I tend to be a bigger fan of the books than the movies when they make movies based on books, but perhaps I'll go check out the movie sometime.

Artfire

I have opened a new studio on Artfire. I actually heard about Artfire in the Etsy forums. It's a pretty new site, but they are now offering a free studio; you can list up to 10 items in your studio without any charge. From what I've read you never pay a fee to list items, you just pay a $7 monthly fee. I haven't had much views there yet though. I figured I might as well try opening a studio over there since it's free. We will just see how it goes for now! Please stop by and check it out! Wish me luck!

Here's the link to my store: http://Lucky12324.artfire.com
