I love Scarlet Raine. I placed this order in November and was lucky enough to snag a “whipped candle” as you can see by the pictures, they are beautiful! She started just opening her web site up for orders for a certain time frame, but she still got way behind. I know that she truly feels bad and if you are a member of her facebook group page she keeps you informed on her delays.

People can still get crabby with her, but she is a wanted vendor and is very popular. It’s worth the wait! This order was placed November 13, 2015 and I received in on January 13, 2016!

Thoughts;

I wasn’t expecting anything much out of this movie. It was listed as a “thriller” on netflix, although it wasn’t. The dots are very easy to connect and the movie came together nicely. Everything was explained to you and the “twist” is something you really don’t see coming.

It was certainly something very different
