WHERE
DOES
THE
TIME
GO???
I swear I was just flying out here to Mississippi for Kacie’s 8th birthday and to watch her be baptized by her Daddy! How did a whole year whizz by already? Kacie’s birthday was actually on Saturday but it’s been crazy this weekend and I am lame and totally forgot to come here and wish her Happy Birthday! 
Like all the other girls, Kacie is nutso for Pokemon right now. She eats, lives, and breathes it I swear. She is truly the sweetest kid ever. I am lucky to be her step-mom. She has the biggest heart and is always willing to help out with anything. 
Like the ghetto-fabulous home cake I made for her? Complete with metal baking pan? That’s kinda my signature thing. LOL (that’s for you Lisa!) Kacie said it was the best chocolate cake she’s ever had. See….. I told ya she’s the sweetest kid ever. HA! HA!
I wish my girls could have been here to help us celebrate Kacie’s birthday. I am leaving in a few hours to go get them back from their Dad’s house in NC. First I will drive to Brandon & Brooke’s today and stay the night with them. They are my cousins who live in Summerville, SC. I am excited to visit them but I will hit the road again Tuesday morning to get the girls and drive home. So basically I will be on the road for the next two days but even with gas prices it was A LOT cheaper than flying them this time. They would have stayed until Friday but I can’t believe school starts already this Thursday! Why does the summer seem shorter and shorter every year?
Anyhoo…. I hope everyone has a great week! I will try and hop on the computer at Brooke’s place later tonight to post my last card for the contest and give you the link to the last round of voting. Or you should be able to follow the previous links I posted sometime after NOON today to see my card and vote again. I had so much fun making this “silhouette” card! I was dreading it at first but then ended up actually enjoying the whole process! You should try creating a silhouette card yourself! The possibilities are ENDLESS!!! Okay….I need to get off this thing and get a few more hours of shut-eye before I gotta start my travels. Peace out!

Wow, that Kacie is a pretty girl. Happy Birthday to her.
And how cool. SCummerville (a little football rivalry humor) is my neck of the woods! I went to Goose Creek High as a kid. I’d love to go back and visit. Enjoy your visit. =)

Happy birthday Kacie!
Trevor came up behind me to find out what Pokemon she got for her birthday. I swear he recognized the logo on the box from across the room.
