A "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" Challenge - SEARCH FOR THE MISSING LETTERS!!! #POstables



As POstables (fans of the Hallmark series "Signed, Sealed, Delivered") are counting down the days until the next "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" movie airs on Hallmark's Mystery Network - Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, I thought it would be fun and challenging if we embarked on our own Mystery "Letter" Search, with a *"Signed, Sealed, Delivered" Word Search Challenge*!

This search for "Letters" (a play on words! get it?) includes all sorts of words and phrases that relate to the "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" movies, of course. (These letters are obviously letters of the alphabet, and not the kind we mail, but even still... I hope it's a fun way to have our own mystery search!)

Today (August 24) marks one month until the premiere of the next new "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" movie - "Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Home Again" on September 24, 2017, on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries! There are 30 words (numerous letters) to find in the "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" Word Search below - before the next premiere! I hope you enjoy the hunt and pursuit of discovering each word, name, or common phrase from the on-going "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" Hallmark series!

My wish is... all of you POstables find this Word / Letter Search to be, well... (hopefully) "sheerly awesome!" (a favorite quote from SSD!)





(*By the way, Hallmark has hinted... they will deliver a commercial preview for "Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Home Again" during the last premiere of "Garage Sale Mystery: A Case for Murder" - on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries this Sunday night, August 27th!)

Hope you all enjoy
this "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" L-E-T-T-E-R Search!

God's Blessings to you all, Net

“The Christmas Train” is a Crown Media Productions Original Film

STUDIO CITY, CA – Wednesday, August 23, 2017 – Hallmark Channel announces the highly-anticipated original film, “The Christmas Train,” a Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation, starring Dermot Mulroney (“Shameless,” “My Best Friend’s Wedding,” “Northpole: Open for Christmas”), Kimberly Williams-Paisley (“Darrow & Darrow,” “Father of the Bride”), Emmy® Award-winner and two-time Oscar® nominee Joan Cusack (“Shameless,” “Toy Story 4”), and four-time Emmy® Award nominee Danny Glover (“Lethal Weapon") begins production today and will have its exclusive World Premiere on Hallmark Channel, Saturday, November 25 (8 p.m. ET/PT, 7C).

“The Christmas Train” is a Crown Media Productions original movie and is based on national and international bestselling author David Baldacci’s novel of the same name.

The Christmas Train
Read the Book- Soon to become a Hallmark Movie!

In “The Christmas Train,” disillusioned, globetrotting journalist Tom Langdon (Mulroney) must get from Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles in time for Christmas. Forced to take the intercontinental trip by train, and determined to chronicle his adventure, Tom finds himself westbound with a variety of characters. On the train is renowned movie producer Max (Glover), Max’s script doctor and protégé Eleanor (Paisley), and Agnes (Cusack) who occupies the cabin opposite Tom’s and seems to know his business better than he does. While all passengers on the Christmas train appear to be headed for the same destination, Tom has no idea that the rugged locomotives taking him across America will instead detour straight into his heart – into rude awakenings, his wildest hopes and dreams, and toward the opportunity for love Tom thought was lost forever.

“It is said, you don’t take the Christmas train to get somewhere fast -- you take it for the journey,” said Michelle Vicary, Executive Vice President, Programming, Crown Media Family Networks (home of Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, Hallmark Drama, and Hallmark Movies Now).

“TV viewers will embark on the most spectacular, romantic journey filled with characters who have all packed their bags with wisdom, mischief, love and courage, and powered by David Baldacci’s timeless story, ‘The Christmas Train’ is sure to become an instant classic for holiday movie fans,” Vicary concluded.

“The Christmas Train” is a Crown Media Productions original film. Karen Spiegel is Executive Producer. Harvey Kahn is Producer. Ron Oliver is Director. David Baldacci’s The Christmas Train is adapted for television by Tippy & Neal Dobrofsky.

My *Quick* Take:

All Aboard! It sounds like Hallmark will take viewers along for a most intriguing, life-altering, adventurous ride this Christmas season with this all new Hallmark Hall of Fame Presentation - "The Christmas Train".

It's nice to see Dermot Mulroney return to the Hallmark Channel, since starring in the Hallmark Christmas movie "Northpole: Open for Christmas" with Lori Loughlin.

No stranger to Hallmark Hall of Fame movies herself, Kimberly Williams-Paisley has also starred in a previous production that premiered in 2001, "Follow the Stars Home". She will also be starring in an upcoming Hallmark Movies & Mysteries movie (coming soon!) - "Darrow & Darrow"!

Will you join me for this trip? The movie premieres the Saturday after Thanksgiving - during the Hallmark Channel's 5 Straight Nights of Movies, hosted by Candace Cameron Bure. My curiosity is most definitely piqued! I do believe I would like First Class front row seat accommodations (my comfy couch, a cozy blanket, and yummy snacks with my family!) for this all new Hallmark journey! How 'bout you? Should I save you a seat, too?

Please share *your take* in comments below! Blessings, Net

"Garage Sale Mystery" Hallmark Movies in Chronological Order - Starring Lori Loughlin!


image: Hallmark Crown Media

Today, Sleuthers, I am shining a light... uncovering ALL the Garage Sale Mystery Movies made - so far!

Track these details... as you will discover below - the chronological order of the "Garage Sale Mystery" movie series from 2013 (when it first premiered on the Hallmark Channel) to 2018, where it resides in it's home now on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries!

There have been some changes throughout the "Garage Sale Mystery" series, including every member of Jennifer Shannon's (portrayed by Lori Loughlin) family - from her husband, to her children! The role of Jason Shannon, Jennifer's husband, was first played by Rick Ravanello, but since the second movie, that role has been played by Steve Bacic. The daughter Hannah, was also portrayed by another actress in the pilot movie, Sara Canning, however Eva Bourne, after the first film, stepped into that role. Eva also portrays Lori Loughlin's daughter-n-law on "When Calls the Heart". Brendan Meyer starred as the son in the first three movies, up until "Garage Sale Mystery: The Deadly Room". When Brendan became involved in other acting projects, Connor Stanhope (who had also worked with Lori Loughlin on "When Calls the Heart") stepped into the role of Logan Shannon in "Garage Sale Mystery: Guilty Until Proven Innocent".

In addition to these changes, the role of Police Detective was first portrayed by Andrew Dunbar, who, by the way, dated Hannah in the pilot movie, and then returned in "Garage Sale Mystery: Murder Most Medieval" in a different role. The part of detective is now regularly filled by Kevin O'Grady, as the no-nonsense - Detective Frank Lynwood.

Although there have been many cast changes (mostly early on), the heart of the story has remained the same, and one other role, besides Lori Loughlin's as Jennifer Shannon, has remained a constant, and that is Jennifer's friend and antique shop business partner Dani, played by the always interesting, Sarah Strange.

Now, the "Garage Sale Mystery" Movie Series in Chronological Order...

image: Hallmark Crown Media

Movie #1: Garage Sale Mystery (pilot movie)

Premiere Date: September 14, 2013

Storyline via Hallmark: Jennifer Shannon (Loughlin) can always find a diamond in the rough - when it comes to garage sales, that is! Whether it's a new antique to sell at her consignment shop, an Atari game for her son, or a piece of furniture for her handy husband Jason (Ravanello) to refurbish, she has made a career out of her treasure-hunting prowess. When a string of burglaries hits her town, Jennifer's keen eye for detail and her natural problem-solving instincts even help her see the connection between these burglaries and local garage sales! Jennifer works with Detective Adam Iverson (Dunbar) to investigate her theory that the perpetrators of the burglaries are fellow garage sale regulars. The case escalates to dangerous levels when Jennifer discovers the dead body of her friend. Even though the deceased's husband, Ben Douglas (Bancroft), finds nothing missing in their house, and the police label the death as accidental, Jennifer suspects that the death may be related to the burglaries.

With just her treasure-hunting skills and problem-solving instincts, she finds and pieces together clues to the burglaries and her friend's death. As she gets closer to the truth, however, Jennifer discovers that crime-solving can be far more perilous than any garage sale. Can she uncover the "Garage Sale Mystery" before it's too late, or will her investigation create problems that not even Jennifer can solve?
