This past week when my Blog went down which this was the 1st time it was this major with typepad and I have been with them for 8 years now and this time was a doozie that's for sure....BUT Praise God everything is moving smoothly now .
As frustrated as I was my blog was down I knew in my heart they were fixing it as fast as they could . This is NOT something Typepad wanted to happen for sure, BUT seriously if you could have read some of the nasty comments people were leaving them on their FB page ~It was sad ! Things happen and I am very Thankful it was only a week .
This past week we also got my wheels fixed and Praise God they only kept my car for 1 day . I still need to go back for the alignment BUT he said we can do that next month .
Got a tip to all you drivers out there ... Drive in the left hand lane . That's the tip I got from the wheel & front end guy . Usually pot holes are on the right side some on the left but for the most part there going to be on the right side .
We also went and picked up our half a cow we ordered . We go in half with our friends ( Steve & Linda ). We bought one 18 months ago . The price went up slightly from last time BUT Oh my goodness have you priced beef in the stores and who knows what's all in that.
After I shared this photo (above) I laughed because of all the photos I could take while loading the meat up in coolers was one with the Heart/ Liver/ Tongue LOL ! We did get alot of good meat Steaks/ Hambuger / Roasts/Ribs .
Jessie left a comment on the photo and said her and Pat will be over for BBQ Tongue ( just kidding LOL!)
Later today we are going out to dinner with our friends Russ and Melinda

I am not sure how long I will be without my car this upcoming week due to getting my wheels fixed ( pot hole damage ) We are waiting on the wheel company who I bought extra coverage on my wheels when we bought my car 2 years ago .
My wheels are low profile and with all the pot holes it's just terrible on my car .....Actually all 4 wheels are bent and shaking my front end like crazy .
When I get the call Monday morning I am not sure how long they will have to keep it .. Praise God we are getting them fixed.
I am also Thankful for the guy who is fixing my car and all the hoops he is jumping through for this insurance company .

Well It's beginning to look a lot like Spring time around here . All the snow in our front yard has finally melted and yesterday was over 70 degree's.
Pot holes are terrible here I have to say the worse they have ever been and I am assuming it's from the really bad winter .
Big Daddy also got the floor done in my stamping studio and started working on the lights and outlets .
I also wanted to share my new Stamping Studio will not be painted purple But a ivory color instead & it's so pretty . I know the photos are not that great but it will all come together when the cabinets arrive the 2nd week of May .
I bought this set because it seems like we know alot of people who are having babies lately and this set is so super cute .
The owls are so cute, I was going to add some googley eyes.. I still may add them to the little baby owl .
I also color the owls with Pink Pirouette #131263 (Subtles collection) and Crumb Cake # 120967 markers I just wanted to add a little color and not perfectly colored either .
Still waiting for Spring to arrive here in Michigan. We still have a small pile of snow in front but the rest has melted .
Oh my goodness my mom made us a black bean cake yesterday ( see photos above) It was sooo yummy . Believe it or not NO sugar no grain. Mom said this was her 1st bean cake and probably the last LOL! My mom even made the whip topping too . This cake was really really good ~ Thanks Momma .
This past week Dr. Mary gave me a test to do for food allergies and when I was reading the directions it said not to do it if I'm taking certain medications ~well that ended that test.
Dr. Mary is now looking for something else for me to try so we can figure out why my hands hurt and well pretty much all over . I just wish I started feeling better .
I keep plugging away with the no grain / no sugar / detoxing . Last week when I was doing my wedges at home I felt my pelvis move and seriously I felt so great for like 5 minutes and then it must have slipped back aughhhh..
Friday Hubby snapped this photo of me in my lovely getup at Dr. Mary's . This is a hat that holds (for me) 2 pound weights on my head and I stand on a vibrating machine for 6 minutes with the weights .This is designed to help stand straight and align the spine.
This past Friday we ordered the cabinets ( 22 of them) for the other side of my Stamping Studio . Should be here in about 4-5 weeks .
I am so stinkin excited !
Here's one side of the room . This will be my crafting desk and also my computer desk ~ LOVE IT!
Here is my Sunday Share video for you . This dog's name is Jumpy and he is sooo smart . Make sure you watch the end .
I love those Essentials Wooden Elements # 132258 and finally got to add them to a cute card ... The funny thing when Jessie seen this card she loved the shaker BUT the arrow caught her eye.
I have a video for you on this card next week .
Listed below are the items I used on todays card .
