A Bit of Fun

I’ve got 2 sick girls at home now.  So, just a short post for just a bit of fun.

This was a fun, quick project:  Northern Lights Bracelet by Ellen Sandlin of EarthFaire. 

Had a hard time getting a photo to capture it’s charm when worn.  It’s currently my most-frequently-worn piece of jewelry!  The colors change, like the old mood rings used to do — same technology in these beads. 

Inspired by Wendy’s movie meme, here are quotes from 2 movies I’ve wathced in the past 6 months.  Can you guess what movies they’re from, and what the 2 films have in common?  (Hints:  they were made about 8 years apart; one is probably much more well known than the other and has been filmed at least twice before, but the earlier versions do not share the mysterious “common factor”; they are from very different genres; the quotes themselves are not obscure but are repeated throughout each film.)

1) “There’s a hole in the world like a great black pit. . . .”

2) “Never give up; never surrender!”
