The Hobbit movie. It was great. I loved the history they added from the rest of Tolkien's works. They fit in nicely. Over all I loved it and thought the casting was great. (I just wish there weren't so many dwarves to keep up with!) Hopefully I will have a review up soon.

I've loved watching all the Les Miserables trailers. Hopefully I will be able to see the movie soon. Have any of you seen the movie yet? What did you think of it? I'd love to know.

I got this set of  Sherlock Holmes stories for Christmas. His Last Bow is my favorite collection of short stories and The Valley of Fear is my favorite novel.

And I watched this movie a few weeks ago. Can't wait to watch the first one!

I also received this movie for Christmas. I've already watched it twice. Definitely a favorite.

I really enjoy doing these weekly posts. They are a quick way to sum up what I've been doing recently. They will probably be the closest thing I'll have to regular posts.

I'm going to be joining Ashley's (of Bramblewood Fashion) weekly link up. It's just things I've been enjoying during the past week. Click on the photo below to join in!

This girls voice. I love this version of On My Own. (This also happens to be one of my favorite songs)

This mini series...

I love it. I think I may have watched it (almost) as many times as Lord of the Rings (for those of you who haven't followed my before, I am a huge LOTR fan)! You can go watch it for yourself on Netflix. North and South (the book) is also lovely. In fact I finished it just recently.

what words to write

A blank page. To me the most daunting thing on earth. That perfect page to be famed or scorned forever depending on what YOU put there. What a scary thought. How can you fill up that much space?

I've always hated writing. A strange confession for a blogger you might think. When I was young I thought I'd love to be an authoress when I grew up. I loved coming up with plots from everywhere and anywhere. In fact I still do. I keep a folder full of short plots, my little treasures. However I've realized writing isn't where my talents lie.

Last year I admitted to myself that, seeing my writing is what it is, maybe blogging was not for me. And it may not be, but I don't care. Over the last year I forced myself to keep the break I promised myself. I've found that blogging has become a part of my life. I need a place to write what words I will. I can't tell you how hard it was for me not to hop on blogger and post something. Every time I got the urge I had to remind myself to work on getting this blog up.

Bear with me as I improve my writing and find my new purpose in blogging. I can't wait to see where this new blog will take me.

welcome

Whether you are new here or are coming from my old blog, I just want say 'hello'. If you've followed me before you will remember that I took a break last May. I wanted a chance to recover, I felt burnt out, with nothing left to blog about. My old blog was loosing purpose. Over the summer I thought about what I had learned from blogging over the last few years. What did I enjoy blogging about, what did I like about other blogs. Eventually I made the decision to start a new blog. Here we are! I decided I wanted a blank slat. A place to start fresh. This blog is a place for me to start over. I'll continue posting on fashion and cooking, but I'll be adding a few things. Happenings in my life and things I've been thinking about will be taking the forefront of this blog. Movie and book reviews, giveaways, DIY projects, and random 'likes' will be added for good measure. Join me on this new blogging adventure.

What do you think of the look? Anything you hate or love? What are things about other blog set-ups that you wish everybody used? I'd love some feed back on what my readers enjoy in blog setups.
