The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
I finished reading The Hunger Games, last week actually! I recently got sucked back into facebook, which I blame for lack of posts over the last few days, otherwise I would have done this sooner.
I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this book, there were a few nights that I stayed up too late reading it, simply because I couldn’t put it down. I like all the the main characters and loved imagining the arena the games were played in. I wonder how it will compare to how it will be portrayed in the movie…coming out next month! Hubby and I plan to see it opening weekend!
I’m looking forward to reading the second installment of the trilogy Catching Fire. I highly recommend The Hunger Games, if you haven’t read it already…you’re one of few

Last night I purchased some new digi stamps, have printed some out on cardstock and will be working on coloring them! I plan to use them for cards, like this one shown, as well as here and there in my smash book! I’ve found a couple coil books with cardstock weight sheets that I plan to use for smashing, rather than the notebook I covered. I’ll show you how things go…

I got ‘just because’ flowers from my husband the other day!
I’m learning to edit and play around with photo’s on Gimp…here is what I came up with for some of the flower pics I took.
Funny story too…another guy buying flowers said to him “wha’d you do?” lol – he didn’t do anything….at least I don’t think he did!

Loved The Voice last year, the first season. The judges and their interactions were quite entertaining as well as all the amazing talent that was showcased. I was pleased with the different format of the auditions and the show all together, I was quite tired of American Idol that seems like it has been running forever!
The first couple episodes of auditions this season were honestly losing me. Yes, the same judges are back and still entertaining, but no one auditioning was jumping out at me, as favorites, having amazing voices. Well as of this weeks episode I take it back. This last Monday’s show had 4 contestants that made it onto teams, that are different, original, amazing voices!
Although there are a couple fairly classic untouchable songs below…I don’t want to say it…but have to…they give the original artists a run for their money! Adele, Johnny Cash, wow!
