A little bit of this, a little bit of that.
My blogging time didn't go quite as planned because while trying to install a Pinterest button on Lisey's baking side, I broke her site.
And then I fixed it via FTP and broke it again.
And then I fixed it, but was having a problem with this little line of text showing up at the top of the site when it's not supposed to.
Anyway, that took up a lot of time. As of this typing, the bit of text is still there, but at least the blog is functioning.
(Actually, I think it's fixed now!! Yay! That is marvy-fab. I mean, it would have been more marvy-fab if I hadn't broken it in the first place, but I'm awfully happy it's fixed.)
And speaking of Pinterest, I installed a new button here on The Frugal Girl that should make it easier for you to pin things. I didn't realize my old widget wasn't working...many apologies.
Fortunately, I managed to install that here without breaking anything. Small miracle.

Remember my Excessive Stash Of Cranberries?
Well, I used two whole bags to make four loaves of cranberry bread to bring to church. Yay me!
I spent some time painting yesterday...I volunteered to repaint our church's pulpit, which was in not very great shape.
And I also sprayed a coat of paint onto an old but sturdy music stand that my dad gave to us.
Both things are now a nice clean black (yup, my pastor wanted black for the pulpit!)

I think that's it from me for today. I promise I will get a post up with after pictures of Zoe's bed in the near future, though. And I have a fun giveaway coming up too.
You know, as long as I don't spend any more time breaking blogs.
Oooh I am going to be stealing your cranberry idea, I have a huge glut of them right now !!! Thank you.
We all have days like that. So, you didn't get as perfect a blog up as you'd planned/hoped. You did get quite a bit accomplished for the day. And the time you spent working to get Lisey's site working right was probably a learning experience to some extent. When I have days like that I try to remember all that I did accomplish, and how much I likely learned through what I went through. I think you did well for the day. And now I'll check out your cranberry bread recipe. I still have cranberries from last year's harvest. I'm not sure if I'll use them all just yet. I need to see what this year might look like first (no sign of blossoms on my cranberries yet, starting to worry there won't be any.) Hope you have a good day!
You (people in general) can download a Pin It button to their toolbar from the Pinterest site, so they can pin anything they come across on the web, whether or not that site has a Pin It button.
Yep, I have one of those. But I wanted to add one straight to the blog too, to make it easy for people to pin things, and also to let people know I'm totally fine with people pinning my stuff.
Oh boy. You know who who I'm calling if I ever break my blog! 😀
That cranberry bread looks yummy! I'm planning to make some banana bread today.
Please do! I'd be glad to help you. 🙂
Good job with the fix-its! Mmmmm, the Cranberry loaf looks yummy!
It's SO nice of you to do all that painting, too.
I enjoy reading your blog.....

Oh, that cranberry bread looks really good. A friend of mine once made cranberry orange muffins for a ladies tea we had at church. Tasty 🙂 🙂 That's sweet of you to paint the pastor's pulpit 🙂 🙂 🙂 It'll look good now 🙂 Have a great day. Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather 🙂
Any chance you could post an after picture of the music stand? A musician myself, I've come across many a stand in the "before" condition.
I hope you'll also post afters of the pulpit and music stand. I'd love to see how they look now. Thanks!
You should post some after pics of the pulpit and music stand too!
I will...I'll try to remember to do that when I have daylight. 🙂
That bread looks so delicious! I don't think I can find cranberries at this time of year, so I'll have to settle for some wild berry bread..
Kristen, I really like your blog and your expressive writing style! You provide a load of valuable information and inspiration and I quite appreciate following along... so THANK YOU!!!
Aww, thanks, Ingrid! I'm so glad you enjoy my blog. 🙂
I am so glad to hear I am not the only one who can break a blog! So far I have made mine unable to take comments (fixed now). Spent several frustrating hours trying to figure out how to get Amazon links to work as text (got it). Took a whole afternoon figuring out how to get the Facebook widget to stop cutting off peoples heads. And the list goes on and on...... along with the list of things I have left simple because I can't figure out how to make them look like I would like.
