Christmas wreath!!

Hey Friends!!! I was in a crafty mood this past weekend... so of course I made something!! First of all, I hit a killer sale at Michael's! I'll just say that I got all of my items for less than $8! I was very proud of myself... considering a thing of 100 sheets of paper originally cost $12, so I basically got the paper for free! I had a coupon and was able to stack that on top of all of the great sales! Anyway... I made this wreath that I am very very proud of!
Supplies:
2 sheets of red card stock
2 sheets of green card stock
Pearl stickers
Stamp pads
Tape
Foam (one big piece)
Ribbon

How to:
I traced stars on the paper, then I drew lines on the back from each point to the opposite side. Taking a ruler I folded the stars so that it came to a point. Then I rubbed a stamp pad over the stars, then I assembled them together on the piece of foam. It kinda looks like a sugar cookie! I love it! (The star idea I found on Pinterest)

Warning.... more Christmas crafts to come!!!

The journey of my new smile...

I felt like blogging about the journey of getting my new smile. Oh boy! It sure has been a long, painful, and exciting process. In May of 2000 I was riding my bike, like a big girl (I was 8) with a bunch of my siblings and cousins, to my grandma's church (which was just down the street from where she lives. Staying on the side of the road as instructed, there was a man hole cover that was not pushed down all the way. Being toward the back of the bike line I didn't notice that it was up about three or so inches. Everyone else had dodged it and went around it. I, going full speed to keep up went straight over it and flipped over my bike handle bar, bike still in hand I landed on my stomach. I got up, a little dizzy and discombobulated got up thinking that was pretty sweet that I survived that epic crash. I didn't know how bad it was until my sister Kelsey started screaming "Kacey! Kacey! You have blood running down your face!" I immediately put my hand to my face a

10 years going strong!

Friends! I am dedicating this post to my upcoming 10 year Anniversary with Type 1 Diabetes. I would like to share my story, for some it may make you cry, others it will hit home, and for some I know you will read the title and not get what you expected. But please I ask you to read so that you know where I stand. Ten years ago on August 5, 2003 my mom took me to see my Pediatrician. We went in there together and came out with news no one expects to hear. To be honest I thought it was a great way to get out of school, but after I received the news I would have taken school back. We went in not knowing what to expect, however everyone who knew me, knew that I was sick. I was in the 6th grade and lost 20 pounds in a short period of 2 weeks. I was literally a walking skeleton at less than 70 pounds. My cheeks were sunk in, the rose color that was naturally on my skin was gone, and there were dark circles around my eyes. I had no energy at all. To get up to my room (at the time) I had to

19 going on 20!!

Well, I'm super excited to no longer be a "teen"! Even though it's not that old, I feel old! So much has happened in 20 years. A little bit ago I have had the opportunity of where I was all by myself and I was flooded with memories. I have been through a lot but I believe that is was not to torture me, to make me cry or even hurt me. I believe that because of all the things I have gond through, I am the person I am today. I look back at who I was, just a year ago, oh how weak I was, getting hurt by silly things, crying for pointless things, and still... very childish. Although I will always be young at heart, I look at myself now, and see the exact oppostie. I am much stronger than I used to be both physically and mentally. Yes I still cry, but it's different now. I have had to grow up a lot over the last little bit, and I have never been more grateful. Recently I had a conversation with a really good friend of mine. It made me realize, I'm pretty lucky! So

Life as we know it...crazy!
