The Hunger Games are upon us!

I have to admit something to you all! I indeed had not read but maybe 2 books since High School {15 years ago…oh my goodness…I can’t believe it’s been that long since High School} up until last year! I know {insert giant gasp here} I had no excuse before kids other than the fact that I was working 50+ hours as a restaurant manager, and didn’t like reading very much. Then when kids came along the thought of reading alone was exhausting, and every time I tried to start a book it would be at bed time and just put me to sleep. {Please tell me I’m not alone}

Then about a year after the first Twilight movie came out I actually saw it, and fell in love with the story…I became a FAN! Last year I actually checked the books out from the library and READ for the first time in years, and LOVED it! I became enamored with these incredible books. So when I had finished reading them I was sad, I needed something good to read. All my friends kept saying “The Hunger Games”. So I jumped on that band wagon. Thank goodness I did. I just finished reading the first book of the 3 part series a little over a week ago and went out immediately to buy the second book. These books are just as good as the Twilight Saga, dare I say maybe even better. If you haven’t read this series yet…I highly encourage you to get them now! The first movie will be coming out the end of March, and it looks wonderful already. I even got my Mom to read the first book, which she was a little ho-hum about the idea of reading it at first..then finished in it 2 days! She loves to read! She’s hooked to the series!

So since my friends and I are the crazy people who go at midnight of the movie’s premiere we are also having a “Hunger Games T-shirt Party”. Making special shirts for that premiere night at the movies.

So I thought I would give you guys some ideas you could hand make if your planning on making your own shirts for the movie.
