Heyy there! Just stopped by to return the visit, and I LOVE your blog. I went gaga over your pretty flowers, but then couldn't stare too long, cuz I know I'd go broke over my 1yr old baby girl if I did!!
Anyway, I like your ABC's!!
Jackie
Loved reading your ABC's! I've never heard of Hunger Games, what is that? Your flowers are beautiful!
Hope you're having a wonderful weekend 🙂 stopping by from voiceBoks.
Thank you Ladies for Stopping By!
Luana..Hunger Games is a Young Adult Fiction Book series. VERY addicting, VERY well written, and VERY good if you like YA Fiction…which, I DO! haha.
Idaho! That's where I grew up. I went to Shelley High School in Shelley, Idaho…(Southeastern Idaho)near Blackfoot and Idaho Falls. Where are you?
Blessings,
Rosann
Rosann, We are in Rexburg. 🙂 I know where Shelly is, If I'm remembering right, my college roommate my freshman year was from there…or a town right NEAR there. 🙂
Nice list! Your flowers are beautiful!
Beautiful pic in your header (and great list)!

I have been so tempted to read Hunger Games. I have seen all the talk about the movie and I have a rule that I must read the book before I watch the movie. Now if I could just find a time that my kids would let me sit and read. Ha!
Hahaha, I love that eXercise pic, very real. I didn't you could preserve those type of foods. Yum!!! It's great to know more about you and glad you joined vB.
Wishing you a wonderful day,
Barbara

@ Roscoe, Thank you! We try hard to make our flowers different and unique.
@Championm2000, Thank you! and You are most Welcome here! I LOVE my fellow VB friends!
@MarisaFrank…they are making a MOVIE out of Hunger Games!? How could I NOT have known this!? Oh, wait..cause I've been hiding out crocheting. lol. This is fantastic, I can't wait to see it. Definitely read the book though, it is wonderful. Make sure you have all of them available to you though, because you will probably go through them faster than you expect, and it's the WORST when you are left hanging from one book to the other and you can't just immediately pick up the next book.
@ Barbara, Thank you! I LOVED the exercise pic too! It completely describes my relationship with exercise…I'm not a fan, I'd rather read or crochet. lol.
Yes, I can my own pickles and I can jams too. This year I made Strawberry/rhubarb
Blueberry/Rhubarb
Raspberry/Rhubarb
Triple Berry-Strawberry/Blueberry/Currant Jams.
Still waiting on my Tomatoes to ripen so I can do the salsa. I like to stock up for the winter months.
What a fun list. I don't like video games either because of that fact…but that still doesn't stop me from playing Bejeweled on my phone every chance i get =)
Thanks for commenting on my ABC's. Love yours too! What is Hunger Games? You're the youngest of 9?!! Wow! Your mom is awesome! I see you're participating in the 30 day challenge…I'll be doing that next month too. 🙂
@ Rachel–I used to be really addicted to WOW and all the Facebook games. I couldn't just say, "i'll stop playing this game and just play this other game"..no I'd get all drawn into them and there is no playing 'casual' with me. So I had to stop gaming all together..including the fun little FB games like cafe and farmville, etc etc. I'd just rather be addicted to something productive…like BOOKS. lol.
@imamomtoo, Hunger Games is a Young Adult Fiction Book series. VERY addicting.But it's not all frills and fluff. It makes you think too. It had a feel like a Reality TV show…only better.
Love your list! I'm a Hunger Games fan, too 🙂
wow, fluent in 8 languages! hats off to you, dear! and yeah, ditto on X! I need bigger motivation than the picture LOL

Loved the list! Especially your X – eXercise. That graphic was genius, I feel like that so often! I surprised myself today and broke out a yoga DVD finally!
Visiting from vB and enjoying every minute. New follower!

Oh Spilled Milkshake! 🙂 I'm so glad I'm not alone! lol. Aren't you just DYING for the movie to come out?
@Spanish Pinay, I think I may be needing more motivation too.but that is definitely how it feels to get myself OFF the computer chair and into the room with the Turbo jam!
@Mandy! I WISH I could take credit for the graphics…Great job on the Yoga Video! Wahoo! I went and played Laser tag with the familY! Made me remember how out of shape I am! lol.
