I have several of Elise’s wire-wrapped pendants and I always get compliments when I wear them. They are wonderful!
Quick Sunday night (and maybe Monday and Tuesday) sale is happening now, because I have inconvenient bills that could use some convenient sales.
35% off a lot of things.
Done when the bills are covered.
Have fun!

Anyway now that I’ve really stirred up the hornet’s nest I guess, who wants a seasonally inappropriate Tree-Rex ornament! I was going to wait on these but then I decided everything is made up and the points don’t matter so they are up now ☺️🎄🦖 #bsnm

I have another: we took our 3-year old to see Fantasia 2000. He was perfectly quiet for the entire movie except that every time the theater went dark between segments he said, “Ooooooh!” By the last break, the rest of the audience was waiting for him and then they giggled.
Got me thinking.. What's the strongest reaction you've seen an audience member have to a scene in a cinema?
During the birthday party scene in SIGNS I saw a whole row of young women literally throw their popcorn in the air like a cartoon.

Someone in my audience had a very audible negative reaction to the dog scene in TOGETHER. So that was fun!
