The Spiderwick Chronicles on DVD

Dawn — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 05:00:08 +0000

My oldest daughter (almost 6 years old) has wanted to see The Spiderwick Chronicles ever since she saw a trailer in the theater over a year ago. Back then, she was kind of apprehensive about seeing it..wanted to, but was too scared. You know, typical 6 year old girl waffling. When I was contacted about reviewing this movie for Pink, I jumped at the chance.

Miss P loved it. I guess she thought there would be some spiders in the film, ’cause she kept asking where they were. Plenty of troll-y type goblin creatures, and a few flower fairies (which are so adorable!), but not the arachniphobia flick as the title suggests (to a 6 year old, at least. I knew that there were no spiders.).

The Spiderwick Chronicles is fine for the 6 year old child to watch with a parent, since it is PG rated. There are a few scary scenes, but Miss P didn’t have Spiderwick-y nightmares, nor did she develop any new fears or phobias from the flick, so it’s all good.

Too Pretty to Use!

Tahirah, Georgia mama and uber-talented artist, has opened Electique Soul Paper and Gifts! This busy chickie maintains her online store’s main site, an etsy shop, and a blog!

When Tahirah sent me her samples, I was delighted at the unique style of her illustration, the attention to detail, and the handmade finishes of each card. I’ve never seen anything like the artwork of the Eclectique Soul paper. Amazing quality. Striking details. You really have to experience it in person.

The Eclectique Soul paper products are seriously too pretty to use or send. You will want to keep them for yourself and arrange them in little frames around your home! Thankfully, Tahirah also sells prints of her awesome art, so you will be able to let the notecards go out to the mailbox while you keep the big picture safely on your wall at home.

Oh yeah- and she makes the most DARLING sweet bon-bon hairbows with tiny little faces on them, too. Another unique original item. Can you tell how impressed I am? I reallly, really, LOVE Tahirah’s goods!

Save 20% through the end of August! Use promo code Sparkles in the notes to the seller section and Tahirah will send you a new, discounted invoice!
