I've designed a very unique and beautiful interpretation of Bella's Bracelet. It features a hand-carved stone wolf and a brilliant Swarovski® heart, on a sterling silver bracelet with a heart shaped clasp. The wolf is hard to find, so supplies are somewhat limited.

I made this bracelet for myself, because I'm obsessed with Twilight, as you know. :-) Well, I decided it was too perfect to keep to myself, so I've decided to offer it to all the crazy Twilighters out there!

It's a sterling silver bracelet with seven sterling silver charms. I chose the charms to represent some very important events, things, and decisions in Bella's life. If you're a fan, you'll understand what they mean. :-) You will love this bracelet!

I think this one is more exciting than the first trailer! What do you think?

the official summary from Summit Entertainment

Bella Swan has always been a little bit different. Never one to run with the crowd, Bella never cared about fitting in with the trendy, plastic girls at her Phoenix, Arizona high school. When her mother remarried and sent Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she didn't expect much of anything to change.

But things do change when she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen. For Edward is nothing like any boy she's ever met. He's nothing like anyone she's ever met, period. He's intelligent and witty, and he seems to see straight into her soul.

In no time at all, they are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance - unorthodox because Edward really isn't like the other boys. He can run faster than a mountain lion. He can stop a moving car with his bare hands. Oh, and he hasn't aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he's immortal. That's right - vampire. But he doesn't have fangs - that's just in the movies. And he doesn't drink human blood, though Edward and his family are unique among vampires in that lifestyle choice.

To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. Somehow or other, they will have to manage their unmanageable love.

But what will they do when Laurent and James, the Cullens' mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for Bella? A modern, visual, and visceral Romeo and Juliet story of the ultimate forbidden love affair - between vampire and mortal.

Summit Entertainment is producing Twilight.

You all know that Twilight sets the stage for the romantic dilemma Bella faces throughout the rest of the series. If you could choose for her, who would you pick? Edward or Jacob? Why? Who's hotter, more romantic, a better protector, and will be better for her in the long run? Have your say!

NOTE: This section contains information about all four books.

Whom should Bella choose?

It's not exactly like the book, but if you can get over that, it's pretty awesome.

I wrote a post about my obsession with the Twilight series on my blog. Here is an excerpt, in which I explain how I got hooked on the story of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan:

As Bella became entwined in the mysterious life of her crush, Edward Cullen (an irresistibly beautiful, and dangerous vampire), so did I. By the halfway point in Twilight, I was completely hooked on the story, and I couldn't put the book down. Once the action started, it was genuinely exciting, and it didn't stop until the end. It was like the first half had been a long, slow ascent on a roller coaster, and the second half was the screaming fast, twisty-loopy part. As soon as I was done, I wanted to go again! So I went right out and bought New Moon, the second book.

New Moon seemed to follow the same slow-start-fast-finish pattern that Twilight had. I finished that off in about a week, and I'm waiting for my favorite Man In Brown to deliver Eclipse today. I'm completely in love with Edward, the powerful, gentle, protective, beautiful vampire. And the way Meyer describes him, it seems to make perfect sense that Bella would want to be with him forever, no matter what ...

When you read the books, I recommend you set aside some nice, quiet time for the last 100 pages or so, because once you get into the best part, you won't want to stop reading!

Stephenie Meyer is writing the story of Twilight from Edward Cullen's point of view, and the resulting book is called "Midnight Sun."

Robert Pattinson said Meyer gave him some of Midnight Sun to read, so he could get a better idea of Edward's character for the movie.

Now, she has released Chapter One of Midnight Sun on her site. It is a draft, so it's imperfect and unedited. But it gives an exciting peek into Edward's world, and how he feels when he meets Bella Swan!

Midnight Sun, Chapter One

Solomon Trimble is playing Sam Uley. Solomon is learning how to speak a bit of the Quileute language in preparation for his role as Sam, and wants to make his part in Twilight as authentic as possible. He's also bringing along some traditional Quileute items, and his guitar. Hmmm. Will he sing for us? :-)

Planning a Twilight movie party? You'll need some of these posters! Use them as decorations and door prizes! Who wouldn't love a life sized version of these gorgeous characters?
