My COMPLETE DVD & BLU-RAY COLLECTION PART 1 is finally up on my YouTube channel! This was a real labor of love. Please go check it out!! youtu.be/Kq1h78B_Ty8?...

I definitely need to do some research. Someone kindly offered some insights about refurbished iPads & a YouTuber to watch about Samsung ones. I’ve never done art on a tablet. Only used photoshop & traditional methods, so it’s all new to me.

My mom has a really, really old one. It’s doesn’t work well anymore, so that’s probably not an option. One person suggested Samsung tablets. I’d love to get procreate but for now I’m looking to do very simple things & want to go as affordable as possible.

Anyone know a good drawing tablet I can do typing and digital art on that doesn’t cost too much?

Felt like revisiting this one tonight. I’m still hoping they make a sequel someday.

Started filming a massive video for my YouTube channel last night going through my entire DVD collection. I’m about half way done and it’s already clocking in at an hour and 45 minutes! Yeah, I think I’m going to have to make this video 2 parts! I have a lot of movies!

I filmed something different for my YouTube- a Blu-Ray haul. I’m looking to do more movie themed videos. Please check it and out & let me know what you think: youtu.be/e1vIDYiZfbk?...

I think it’s a solid period mystery. Julian Fellows wrote it and you can definitely look at it as a precursor to Downton Abbey. The series is better but this is still good. Watch with the closed-caption on. It will make it easier to follow.

Now watching a double feature of Gosford Park and The Importance of Being Ernest. I saw both when they were released but cannot remember either at all.

I can’t take a list of greatest directors of all time seriously when it leaves off the likes of Frank Capra, John Ford, William Wyler, and Michael Curtiz.

I decided to start the year by rewatching favorite film series’s. I began with Harry Potter as I’ve never watched the entire series in succession. Today I’m finishing the last 2 films and just realized it’s also the anniversary of Alan Rickman’s death. Wands raised for you, Alan!

Tonight’s Holiday Movie: In the Good Old Summertime. Despite the title, most of this takes place during Christmas time. If you’ve never seen this, it’s a lovely musical remake of The Shop Around the Corner.

Tonight’s Holiday Movie: Last Christmas. Go in with the proper expectations and I think most will enjoy this. It gets me every time!!

What’s everyone’s Christmas music preferences? My faves to listen to are Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Michael Bublé, Harry Connick Jr., Nat King Cole, Ray Conniff Singers, Andy Williams, Johnny Mathis, Perry Como, Tony Bennett, & The Andrews Sisters to name a few.

I want to watch Slow Horses eventually but I had to cancel a few things to save money, including Apple TV. When I get it again that’s going on my list.

It’s completely wholesome. I was no familiar with him when I watched it, but he instantly gave off green flag energy. Moments like this make me realize I think I need to go to the UK to find a good guy😁

The only time I’ve seen him was him bring interviewed on Graham Norton talking about his Christmas village. But that alone made me fall in love. This is the kind of man I need in my life! youtu.be/BAhzPl5AukY?...

Tonight’s Holiday Movie: The Bishop’s Wife. Such a lovely film. I wish they still made movies like this.

Tonight’s Holiday Movie: The Family Stone. The plot of this is a bit bonkers and that one scene is peak discomfort (when you know, you know). But I still kind of love it & the end gets to me because I’m a sentimental sap.

Tonight’s Holiday Movie: Miracle on 34th Street. My second favorite Christmas movie of all time. You can’t get more than classic than this!!

Tonight’s Holiday Movie: The Santa Clause. My favorite modern Santa movie and the only one from the series I love.

Tonight’s Holiday Movie: Fred Claus. It’s a shame this is so underrated. I remember me and a friend in college going to see this in theaters. We both loved it and I still do.

I found Growing Pains streaming so I’m watching a few Christmas episodes. I’m on the season with DiCaprio. Haven’t seen this in forever!!

Tonight’s Holiday Movie: Elf! So funny and quotable, it’s definitely become a classic in my book!!

That pecan pie looks divine! That’s my favorite! I make amazing pecan bars.

Tonight’s Holiday Movie. This is definitely my favorite of the Vacation movies and the most quotable! Which one is your favorite?

Tonight’s Holiday Movies: A double feature of Home Alone and Home Alone 2!!

On Redbubble so many products inspired by Once Upon a Time, Pride & Prejudice, Alice in Wonderland, A Christmas Story, Elf, & more are available! www.redbubble.com/people/mpalu...

On this small business Saturday, if would mean a lot if you’d consider a purchase from one of my shops! On Etsy, I have hand painted ornaments, silhouette prints, & more. I’d really love to sell all the ornaments. www.etsy.com/shop/TheGirl...

Tonight’s Holiday Movie: Miracle on 34th Street (1994). I always watch the remake first during the season and save the original because it’s the better one. But I do love the remake. It’s delightful.
