I wish them all the best of luck! 

Look its a Belstaff New Greenford Blouson Lady Jacket...NAAAA, its not!

Look what I found at Target the other day!!! Yay!  

$39.99 not a bad price to pay in order to feel, and kind of look, like Bella did the day before her wedding.. 

Ok, okay so its not exactly like the one from the movie, but it kind of works doesn't it?

Hey I say, do, buy, look and say whatever it is that makes you happy.  Especially, when it comes to  KEEPING THE SPARKLE ALIVE for Twilight! =o)  

A "little" something new for Our Twilight Corner

Arn't these the cutest LITTLE Twilight Saga books ever!!!  

When I saw them I knew I had to add them to Our Twilight Corner!  They look great too!  

My daughter thought they were very cute as well, and has decided to add them to our Twilight Saga book collection.  I told her if you can't read them I don't think it counts, but she said, "OH IT COUNTS! 

IT SURE AS HECK COUNTS!"  Ha ha 

I guess I have a lot of copies.. tee hee... But I am NOT counting.. 

I mean how can you have too much Twilight???  NEVER!

Unfortunately, I guess I waited too long to show these off to ya all because I cannot find Debs Dollhouse Minis any more on Ebay...  Sad too cause they are very well made little books. 

However, if you search for them you will find there are other Mini book whispers out there with tiny cute Saga replacus for you to buy. 

I know LOOK!!!

I even bought the White Cover set in Mini as well!!!  

Love, love, LOVE them too.. 

Well whats a collect without the White Covers?  ha ha 

If you want your own set click here to check them out.. 

Remember no matter how large or small your Twilight Collection is 

ALWAYS KEEP THE SPARKLE ALIVE!!!

Ellen Reads '50 Shades of Grey

Ha ha Ha OHMY50SHADESOFTURNINGRED!   

I have not read this book yet, but I sooooooooooooo want to!  Kee hee 

You have GOT TO watch Ellen try to read Fifty Shades of Grey.  

If you have no CLUE what the book is about--Weeeelll, I believe after watching this video 

all sorts of bells and whistles will go off in your head... 

And then some... 

Ellen ROCKS!

My TwiBFF Lisa, from Twilighters Dream, is reading this book, and yesterday she was texting me screen shots of the pages she was reading while she was pool, so I now have a REAL understanding of what the book is all about per say.... 

I'll just say the books puts it all out there for ya..   HA HA, I cannot wait to read it.  =o)

 I remember hearing about it as Fanfic, and I think I even read some of it way back when.  However, if you have NOT read anything from Fanfiction.net you should!  There are some really great stories on there.  Spin offs from every book imaginable.   

My personal fav's are the Twilight ones for sure!  

Well enjoy and remember to always Keep the SPARKLE  alive!

Happy to see Summits Logo on Breaking Dawn Pt 2!

I love this edit my TwiBFF did Lisa from Twilighters Dream did!  

If you haven't checked out her page/blog you should.  She ROCKS! 

I know Summit Entertainment is now Lions Gate, but just like Lisa stated on her facebook page I'm still happy to see the Summit logo on all five Twilight Saga movies as well.  =o)

It's like tradition, so to speak.  It a must there when we all go to see the midnight showing of  BD2!  

The last installment of the Twilight Saga may mark the end of an era, but I wouldn't have changed a thing, and what a fangtastic journey we have had!

208 days to go!!! =o)

'Twilight' star Kellan Lutz wants in on 'Catching Fire'

Kellan Lutz In Catching Fire?? 

OHMYGOSH, that would be FANTASTIC!

"It seems Kellan Lutz is ready to make the move from Twilight Saga vampire to The Hunger Games tribute.

Lutz, who famously said he wanted to audition for the first Hunger Games film but was told there "could not be any 'crossover' between the two franchises," has reinstated his interest for the second film, Catching Fire.

Speaking to E! Online, he said, "I got hooked reading all those books . . . I remember before they ever started making a movie, I was like, 'I would love to be a part of this!' . . . [Being cast in Catching Fire]'d be really special."

Among the Hunger Games fan community, Lutz's name (along with many, many others) has been tossed around for the character "Finnick Odair." There's even a Facebook page devoted to the idea."

Thanks Twilight Examiner for the update!

Happy April Fools day! I am loving April so far aren't you?

Have you change your Breaking Dawn Pt 1 Calender today to April yet?

I was almost afraid to change mine over because I LOVED March so much, but once I saw our BOYS, or I should say, "Our MEN" all fears faded away.  Kee hee   =o)

I love how both Breaking Dawn Pt 1 calenders have Edward and Jacob as the month of April.  

So no matter which one you have its a win-win situation now isn't it?  =o)

Below is a poem I had to post because it actually reminds me of something 

Renesmee would say, or write for some reason.  

I can picture her looking out the window of her little cottage in the woods, watching the rain fall to the forest floor while she waits for Jacob to come be by her side.  =o)

Anyway, have a great Sunday, a fantastic April, and always remember to 

keep the SPARKLE alive!

April Showers Bring May Flowers

The day begins all sunny and bright;
It fills a young heart entirely with delight.
Then, suddenly the sky turns dark,
Like a horror movie during the approach of a killer shark.

Clouds turn from that cottony white
TO a dark grey that is as black as night.
Next, that smell pollutes the air,
That smell that only comes this often one month a year.

The scent of damp leaves creeps nearer and nearer
The smell of a major rainfall now becomes clearer.
The air pressure begins to fall;
I feel like I am carrying, on my shoulders, the entire shopping mall.

Now, as I stand outside in only my new sundress
I realize that I have left my arms vulnerable for goose bumps to caress.
I can hear the wind howl all around,
Sounding like a livid cat shrieking at a hound.

I flee to my house as that soft pitter patter begins to fall
Then grows to the great Civil War, refusing to stop at all.
I feel my cheery mood begin to disperse
From happy-go-lucky to something much worse.

Outside, the only thing I can hear is drip drop, drip drop.
Inside my heart, the only thing I can feel is flip flop, flip flop.
I try to play a game, then read an old novel
But, to my dismay, the only thing I want to do is find Mother Nature and grovel.

Finally, when I begin to loose hope of reaching the end,
Mother Nature decides to send a glow from around the bend.
I can see the gentle breeze blow the storm clouds away
And throw the reins on the rain to hold it at bay.

When I look outside, the sun begins to shine
And I look in that garden that I call mine.
From the ground peaks a little button of green
And I know that May’s breathtaking violet crocuses will soon be seen.
