Trying to be crafty again....

Well since I have joined Pinterest, I have seen so many crafts that I want to try. So, I decided to take a few things that I have seen and combined them together. I had fun doing this, and it made me want to become crafty again, since it has been a little bit since I have crafted.
So to make this rather simple craft, you need:
-Cardboard letter (of your choosing) (I got mine at Hobby Lobby for $2.50)
-Dot Confetti (Hobby Lobby $2.00) There was a whole bunch of colors, I got a combo of black and white with different sizes
-Hot glue or any type of glue, (I used a glue stick)
-Lacquer spray

Make a pattern with the dots if you have more than one color (I tried doing a checker board, didn't really work like that but it looks awesome).
Make sure you glue each dot on separately, they will stay on better then putting a strip of glue down.
Once you have covered the amount of letter you want to with dots, spray the lacquer on the help keep the confetti on, and it even adds a little shine. It would be fun to add glitter to it at this point depending on what you want to use it for.
If you want to hang it, staple ribbon to the top, or back, it adds that much more too it!
So it really is super easy, and ANYONE can do it! I promise you!

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!
