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!

Sliced cranberry bread on a platter.

I spent some time painting yesterday…I volunteered to repaint our church’s pulpit, which was in not very great shape.

A pulpit in need of painting.

And I also sprayed a coat of paint onto an old but sturdy music stand that my dad gave to us.

A worn metal music stand.

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.

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.

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..

I hope you'll also post afters of the pulpit and music stand. I'd love to see how they look now. Thanks!
