Which Hallmark Channel "Spring Fever" Movie did You *Like* Best? #YourTake


"The Sweetest Heart," "Royal Matchmaker,"
"Home by Spring," and "Once Upon a Prince"

"Which "Spring Fever" Movie, did you think,
bloomed the brightest?


The Hallmark Channel premiered FOUR NEW ORIGINAL MOVIES as part of *SPRING FEVER*!

Please share "YOUR TAKE" on this recent block of Original TV movies in comments below by answering these Two Questions...

(you can choose more than one for both questions!)

1. Which "SPRING FEVER" movie did you like/love the most?

2. Which "SPRING FEVER" movie poster (above) do you like best?

Looking forward to hearing all your responses!


My take...

1. Movie: I enjoyed them all, so I'm picking two... "Royal Matchmaker" and "Once Upon a Prince!" I guess I was swept away by both royal romances!

2. Poster: Again, I liked them all, but I'm giving the edge here to "Royal Matchmaker!" I love her beautiful pink dress and his uniform. The flower background in the "Once Upon a Prince" poster is stunning, too, I just wish I could see more of them, and her gorgeous dress!


Thank you - in advance - to everyone who shares below!

Blessings, Net

A look inside my "Beach House" bag from Hallmark...


Today, I thought I would share details of the fun gifts I recently received from Hallmark... one is a medium size tote bag with the Hallmark Channel Logo and “The Beach House” text. A very handy, trendy thing to have on the beach!

Along with the tote, I received a blue t-shirt with a turtle graphic, as worn by many of the actors and actresses, including Minka Kelly and Chad Michael Murray, in the upcoming Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, “The Beach House.” The movie will be shown simultaneously on two of Hallmark's networks, the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, on Saturday, April 28, 2018!

“Breathtaking, unforgettable. Mary Alice Monroe is a word artist. She describes the scene & people so vividly, I feel like I could reach out & touch them! I fell in love with Lovie, Cara, Brett, Toy, and the turtles!"
