Spiderwick Chronicles and More

Have you seen this trailer yet? The Spiderwick Chronicles is a no-miss movie. My yoga instructor had some of the free screening post cards and gave them out during class yesterday. A free movie that David and I wanted to see since I've seen the preview? Why not?! We actually used this as our opportunity to celebrate our Valentine's Week. Yes, we celebrate it the whole week, and it was David's idea. :)

The movie was great and the acting was excellent as well. The twin brothers were played by the same actor but he would have you fooled to think there really are two people acting there.

If you like The Chronicles of Narnia, then you would like this movie as well. I've never read the books, so I couldn't compare and tell you any differences, but both David and I really enjoyed this movie.

Speaking of Chronicles of Narnia, the second one is coming out later this year. Can't wait.

So in other news, I think the package fairy must know that I like getting packages, so she has one sent to me today - From my best friend Itchy. Itchy lives in Hawaii and we haven't seen each other for over a year now. Hopefully she is moving back to the mainland soon so we can see each other more often.



She sent me a box of tea native of Hawaii, a handmade beeswax candle coconut scent in a coconut shell, a pair of mother of pearl earrings, a Vera Bradley eyeglasses case, and a handmade note of course! :) My Itchy is very crafty! Thanks girlie!

So I think I jinxed us from the previous post about snow - we got one last night, but when I got out this morning, all we got was slush!!!



It poured the whole day so now we have absolutely no snow on the ground. If I didn't take a picture, you probably wouldn't believe me either. And this weather only prompted a nice cup of hot cocoa -





It's the Candy Cane Hot Cocoa mix from InsanKnitty along with her homemade marshmallows in my new mug and spoon/stir from one of my auditors. YUM. I think I won the best drink of the day contest at work if there was one - on content AND mug! Even my boss was impressed.

And lastly, check out Anphoe's new outfit!





I took the pictures while at work. Isn't she adorable? It makes me want to make it for myself! :)

Lots of news from you this time! Chronicles was great, can't wait to see this new one. You got more packages, too? VERY cool. And the sweater is adorable, I think I could even get by wearing that one. :)
HAPPY VALENTINE's DAY!!!!

oohh... homemade marshmallows!? Sound good (at first I thought someone put tofu in their hot cocoa, and I was very confused!)
