With a blog name like “Popcorn & Twizzlers” I feel like I need to make up a batch of buttered popcorn! It’s movie time with this blog produced by our member Jaclyn, who goes by the user ID of Antha.
Popcorn and Twizzlers
Like several of our other members, Jaclyn is not a stranger to a Link & Blog Challenge! In fact last summer she wanted to link her blog to one of mine, but because I didn’t see how our blogs could possibly be tied together with relevancy I turned her down. After thinking about it and realizing there was a way to create relevancy between our blogs, I decided to reconsider her offer, and that was the inspiration for how Link & Blog began!
Let’s take a look and see what you can discover over on Popcorn & Twizzlers! First off, her blog will give you the latest scoop on many popular movies as Jaclyn explains:
TV shows and movies reviewed by a normal person who enjoys movies…not some lame critic complaining about the “aesthetic value”.
Strolling over to her blog you would also discover Popcorn & Twizzlers has page rank as well and movie reviews just may be the perfect solution for a topic to tie in with your blog. It’s time to contact her for a Link & Blog Challenge! Be sure to report your completed challenges so we can feature them here! 
HOW TO CONTACT ANTHA:
Just pop on over into your pm box and select “send a note” and write Antha her member nickname, into the “To” field. Send off your pm to her with an explanation of which blogs you have, and what creative and challenging ways you can put your writers creativity together! Complete your posts and then send a pm to “admin” so we can feature your completed challenges!

Introducing new members and their blog’s is really interesting. Our newest member Kathleen, who goes by the member nickname of Kmils would give us all a good run on the keyboard I’m sure! With 6 blogs to maintain I imagine her fingers spend a great deal of time each day quickly doing a dance across her keyboard! In that she has 6 blogs there are plenty of creative ideas we could each come up with to exchange links within a Link & Blog Challenge! Here are her 6 blogs for you to check out:
Favorite Movie Scenes
Her description of her Favorite Movie Scenes blog:
Here you will find descriptions and some trailers or scenes from movies you may have missed because they didn’t seem like they were your cup of tea, but they have at least one scene in them that makes seeing the film more than worthwhile. These scenes are memorable because they are the most funny, sad, scary, sexy, horrible, or thought provoking. In some cases the movie was just so good itself, it needed inclusion.
Must See Images
Simply a collection of beautiful pictures I have come across while surfing the net.
The Only Music
A collection of my favorite songs, most from about 1964 to 1978, there are exceptions. I’ve been lucky so far to get video for all the songs by the original artists, and I include why it’s my favorite.
Okay, now I’ll give my age away on this one for sure! Kmils knows the score on some good old rock-n-roll! Classic rock still rocks! 
Topsy Curvy
This blog is about how to live with having…
Lol! You’ll have to click through to read the rest. Hey, there has to be a cliff-hanger quote in here somewhere!
Die or Beat This
On a more serious note, this blog has some great information that may save someones life! Here is what Kmils has to say about this blog:
This is a blog all about diabetes type 2 and how to not only manage it, but how to live with it and eventually beat it. It’s the biggest medical secret that everyone knows but nobody does.
Fruit and Veggieville
As they say, you must save dessert for last! This is one delicious blog and my mouth is already watering for those strawberries on her template! Here’s a good way to get healthy!
All about fruits and vegetables, some history, tips on cooking, preparing, storing, and nutrition. We also have recipe videos and how to’s.

Some of our new members are probably wondering if they were going to get their chance at being introduced or not. We decided to wait until after Thanksgiving in order to give them the opportunity for the most exposure. Here is one of our new members who joined before the holiday, and she is joining us all the way from New Zealand!
Shirlene has two blogs to show you, the first one is called, “Shoppers Club” and boasts some categories such as “Stuff for Kiwis”! This is one blog you can exchange links with for product reviews since that is her specialty!
Her second blog is called, “GrizzlyNut City” and you must say that is a unique name! I was wondering how she came up with that name and here is what she states in her blog, “It is a one stop shop for kiwis to find everything they desire from any shop on the internet that ships to New Zealand.”
Now even if you’re not a kiwi and not living in New Zealand I’m sure you will figure out a way to create a Link & Blog Challenge with Shirlene to make her a link partner to one of your blogs.
