I’M BACK BABY!!!

I’M BACK!!! (I THINK… RIGHT??)

Well EXCEPT I can’t access the site on my computer. ONLY my phone. The email went down. I. Am. Not. Having. Fun.

AND of course there is that

BRIGHT RED banner………. I swear I really did buy it……….. it will be gone soon…………. I HOPE!!!!

OHMYGOODNESS I have missed you all so VERY MUCH!!

THIS WAS THE MOST STRESSFUL period of time. The site has been down before but not for SO DANG LONG! SO MUCH STRESS!

Thank you so much to all of you that reached out to check on me. Thank you for sticking with me. Now to try and get back the followers that I’ve lost.

I need to focus on the positive! I’M BACK!! Please, please, please let this be the last time Peanut Butter and Whine is down. I’ve missed you guys!

The craftfair is going well. It’s been a week and I’m almost sold out of my bookmarks and mugs and tumblers need to be restocked. You would think with the site down I would have been crafting like a mad woman. BUTTTTTTT NOOOOOOOO instead I was wringing my hands, hitting refresh and bugging tech support. I haven’t been this stressed since I locked baby Alice in the car with my phone and keys at the gas station. (12+ years ago if your counting)

I had a winner pulled for the November giveaway that I couldn’t post…. a couple reviews that needed posting… stresssssed beyond belief.

So, Athena G. I’m emailing you right now!!!

The Husband is having a horrible down time. (Again Multiple Sclerosis is a terrible disease!)

My hands are SO NOT HAPPY! I saw the neurosurgeon, she ordered another nerve conduction study. Everything is booked so far out. UGH!!

OHHHHH and guess who got jury duty?! Yup. Me. Let’s just add more stress.

So, the winner of the November $50 your way giveaway is:

I’m back BABY!! now tell EVERYONE!

I’m adding an extra entry for everyone for coming back!!

I love you all!!

I’m Refreshing My Blog (and Exorcising Some Digital Ghosts)

Updating old blog content is like digital archaeology—except I’ve unearthed a full-on resident spirit: The Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine.

This digital poltergeist has been causing absolute chaos behind the scenes. If things look a little haunted around here, here is the proof:

• The Vanishing Act: The ghost keeps deleting my best images and video tutorials, leaving behind sad, empty boxes.
• The Link Graveyard: It’s been sneakily stripping away my trusted brand partners and replacing them with sketchy “AI Crypto” links.
• Font Sabotage: Apparently trapped in 2001, it keeps reverting my clean layout back to “Geocities-era” antique fonts.

My 2026 Blog Refresh Plan

To banish these spirits and keep my traffic climbing, I’m launching a step-by-step exorcism plan:

1. Exorcise the 404s: Running a broken link checker to track down every dead end and missing image.
2. Modernize Recommendations: Swapping out outdated products for my absolute 2026 essentials.
3. SEO Deep Clean: Refreshing metadata and strategically placing focus keywords.

Stick Around Please!

Don’t let this be a “one and done” visit. While I’m cleaning house and banishing spirits, check out these (very much alive) links:

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: Check out the sidebar for my current giveaway. I promise this one is fully alive, kicking, and ghost-free!

Earn Cash: Some things never go out of style. Rakuten still pays you to shop, and in this economy, who is turning down free money?

Hey, while you are here you could shop through my link on Amazon, or Walmart.
