*swoon*

all i can say: i cried so hard!
me...NO! never. :P



it was a beautiful film.... touching story, beautiful images, and a total tear-jerker.
i simply loved it.
(thanks marta for inviting me to go with you and for the evening we had. it was good to talk!)

now i want to read the book...well, i want chris to read the book to me. we just finished up "revenge of the sith" (see previous post with scrapbook page about my boy reading to me!) and now i think its fair for me to pick!
*evil smile*
i think he'll probably even like it.
now the hard part will be finding a copy.....

*i also really love left-over movie popcorn. just a side-note. :)

in other news: SOTB has a new challenge up!! its all about using different book or notebook pages. there are some pretty awesome projects up over there, so you should definatly check it out and play along.
here is my page:

my mum took these photos of us awhile ago, but they are still some of my favorites. :)

i this little survey thing on ally's blog and thought it would be a fun one to do. :) feel free to copy-paste and play along yourself!! and make sure you link me up if you do, cuz i'd love to read yours too. :)

  1. omgosh i saw time traveler's wife this weekend too and wow, totally cried like the entire time. i remember when the trailer first came out, i cried watching that too! i read the book a while ago and i HIGHLY suggest you do the same. it's sooo different, and as usual i think the books is a thousand times better. but the movie captured the big ideas, which was great. i'm happy you liked it too!

  10. I loved this movie.
    I love the book better of course, and I will say, that the book is much more... hmmm.... it's not as fluffy as the movie? maybe? I just mean, you will learn a lot more about the characters, and not such lovely stuff but it's REAL stuff, and that's what's important. Probably one of my very favorite books. I've read it so many times.
    I did love the movie though - and they couldn't possibly have told a story that made sense and include everything from the book (the stuff that made it a bit grittier) in the movie, so I love what they did with it! I cried and cried and cried!
    (and I still bawl everytime I read the book too, lol.)

  11. Oh! I forgot to say, Neil has also read this and he really enjoyed it. He really liked Henry's character and the growth he goes through after her meets Claire for the first time (well, his first time, in "real" time or whatever.)
