Friday Fragments

Hey lovely Twilighters!

It’s been a pretty quiet week in the Twilight world.  The cast and crew are all up in Vancouver and Eclipse has started filming.  And that’s about all the news on that. It’s so quiet now, waiting for the New Moon promotional craze to begin.

So while we wait for that, check out this beautiful shot of Alice from New Moon.  Doesn’t she look great?

We’re not quiet here, though!  Twilight Tuesday has been busy as usual — just this week, we had a new sketch challenge, a Twilight Tuesday challenge, and a Sookie challenge. Fun times! Play along with us, have a ton of fun, and be sure to leave a comment to let us know where we can see your project!

Have a good weekend!

TTSVC3 ~ Sookie Challenge: Team Bill or Team Eric?

Welcome back to Twilight Tuesday Sookie/Vampire Challenge! After a break last month, we are raring to go – especially after the last few episodes of True Blood! This month, we are seeking your opinions and your creative genius to demonstrate which “team” you are on… Having mentioned TB, I have to remind you that this is the book series challenge – not the HBO show! SO – does Bill’s cool, calm Southern gentleman demeanor chill your jangled nerves, or does Eric’s magnetic, powerful aura flick your Bic… Tell us about it, and be sure to link your projects back here!

TTSVC2 ~ Fangtasia

Welcome to Twilight Tuesday Sookie Vampire Challenge (TTSVC) #2!
This month we are drawing our inspiration from Fangtasia, Eric’s vampire bar in Shreveport.
Craft Portion: Create a project that screams “Fangtasia,“!
Comment Portion: Would you go there? What would you expect to see there? Let your imagination run wild! This is Fangtasia we are talking about here!

Friday Fragments

Hey everyone – happy Friday!  There is a lot of news about the movies this week!  First of all, an official, pretty photo of the wolf pack! Here they are, in all their glory.

Unreal, right?  Even an avowed member of Team Edward (yeah, that would be me) can appreciate these dudes!

Summit also finally announced that David Slade will direct The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which will be released on June 30, 2010.  Things are seriously moving forward in the Twilight movie world.  Now, if they would only get some promo photos done!  I am really eager to see some new Edward photos!

As always, we have a bunch of things going on here at Twilight Tuesday!  Here’s a quick recap of what is happening now:

exactly my brand of vampire

For this weeks Twilight book discussion lets talk fangs, coffins, crucifixes and holy water.

What type of vampire appeals to you? Stephenie Meyers more human style of vampire or the traditional fanged, coffin sleeping, daylight fearing type. Why?

I’m thinking I like Grandpa Munster best.
