DeleteI will be ordering Christmas in Evergreen: Letters to Santa and Eat, Play, Love. Still hoping for Pearl in Paradise. One of my wife's and my favorite Hallmark movies. Great chemistry between Jill and Kris. Love their new mystery movie too. Also hoping for Love in Paradise to come out on dvd. Maybe Hallmark could do a day of Luke Perry's movies in remembrance of him. RG
ReplyDeleteExcellent choices, RG! I, too, would love to see both of these Paradise movies be released. A DVD set in tribute to Luke Perry's Hallmark films would be very nice. And while they release Pearl in Paradise, how 'bout Mystery 101, too? I also just love Kris & Jill together! I'm so happy they are filming more Mystery movies! :)
DeleteThanks so much for sharing! Blessings! Net

DeleteBlessings my friend! Net
I really wish they'd put all the Christmas movies on DVD. I'd buy every one, because sometimes they don't show them again for years. Thank you for the info!
ReplyDeleteSo true, JoAnne! I often end up missing my favorites... so I end up pulling out my DVDs instead! I'm hoping we will see details on lots more releases - possibly around Christmas in July!
DeleteBlessings! Net
Would love to see Frozen In Love on DVD. It’s a favorite with Niall Matter and Rachel Leigh Cook
ReplyDeleteYes, that is such a sweet, fun movie! :)
DeleteOh, Net, I love it when you do this for us!! Thank you so much! I never miss a thing and bought six this time around. I've got quite the collection going on and can't wait to add the new ones.

DeleteEnjoy them all!!! Blessings to you!!! Net
Net...new background is gorgeous!! Very "summery" looking!
ReplyDeleteYes, Joyce, isn't it cooling? Especially on a hot summer day...must be why the Lord gave us green trees, grass, bushes, etc. Love the new wallpaper, Net!!
DeleteJoyce and Linda... Glad you like the new background look! I thought this mix of chocolate hearts, cupcakes, and popsicles fit the Countdown to Summer season perfectly!
DeleteIt is such a gift, indeed, that our Creator loved us so much - to give us all this beauty to behold!
Blessings to you both! Net
There are some good movies coming out on DVD but I keep waiting for some of my all time favorites that I guess are just not all that popular. The two main ones I would like to own are Stop The Wedding with it's wonderful funny cast and Home For Christmas Day which did compress a lot of events into it's running time but was a movie that really tugged at my heart.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's the unexpected movies that tug at our heart strings the most! I'm sure we'll be getting even more movies on DVD in the near future... I sure hope your picks are included! :)
DeleteBlessings! Net
I absolutely love your blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you - with all my heart!!! :)
DeleteSaved as a favorite, I love your website!
