Ding ding ding - we have a Winner!!

We only had three entries in this recipe roundup, which made me wish I had bought more cookbooks so I could send one to everyone. There was only one book though, and Krystal wins it!

Since this is a Recipe Roundup, all three ladies will have their recipes and photos re-published on the Plate Diary blog with links back to their own blogs - so you can get to know them and visit their own kitchens.

Thanks ladies, for participating, and I'll let you know when your recipe is scheduled to be published at the Plate Diary blog.

I've always turned to crafts in the past when trying to figure something out - or when I was restless and needed some kind of change. You know when you have a restless creative moment and you feel compelled to just create to calm the inner crafty beast for a while?

Even when I'm trying to figure out a new Pretty Little Doo Dad to go with a new PlateWrap fabric, I turn to other craft projects to help me think.

Lo and behold, I have a LOT of other completed crafty projects made when I couldn't figure something else out or when I just felt compelled to create. The dilemma now is I need to figure out what to do with all these creations and I don't dare craft away to figure it out. Not until I do something with all the other neat stuff filling my shelves and storage bins.

Aha! How about a little Etsy shop filled with all the nifty items I felt compelled to make? This is a totally random collection, but maybe that would do the trick. What do you think?

The pictures shown here are two picture frames I made from a decoupage of stamps, address book entries, air mail envelopes, and a pencil...

Are they Etsy-Worthy?

This is huge. HUGE, I tell ya!

On Monday, December 1st, we are adding a totally new twist to the Pass It On Plates concept, called Plate It Forward: ™
Raise Money.
Raise Awareness.
Raise Hope.
Plate It Forward™ is along the same lines as "Pay It Forward" and uses Pass It On Plates as a fund-raising and awareness-raising vehicle for your organization's next fund raiser.

Every plate in this program earns money for your organization with the initial sale, but the Pass It On Plates company continues to donate money to your organization as each plate travels from person to person, raising awareness for your cause as it travels.

What do you think of this concept?

With all the non-profit organizations out there needing help, we wanted to find a way to do our part in supporting all these worthy causes. More than just raising money, it was important to us to find a way to help spread the word of their work so more people could learn what they do.

Full details of the Plate It Forward™ program will be posted on 12/1/08.

We can't wait to see where Plate It Forward™ takes our Pass It On Plates!

We're having a big Giveaway starting tomorrow - it's the Pass It On Plates' first ever

Recipe Round Up

One of the most frequently asked questions we get when people have Pass It On Plates is:

"What should I put on my plate?"

We had been posting a new recipe with pictures every week, but frankly, that's a lot of food for us to make, photograph, and blog about and we just don't have the time for it.

True to Pass It On Plates tradition of helping others, we've decided to round up some of the best food blog posts out there and share them with our readers to give them some great ideas for their Pass It On Plates. Basically, we're asking for you to be a guest blogger on our Plate Diaries blog - and you can use one of your existing posts. (What a time saver! No new writing!)

Keep in mind that your recipe needs to be something you could put on a Pass It On Plate when you give it away. This will probably rule out soup, beverages, and crock pot recipes, for example. Of course, if your recipe includes a way to give this food to someone on a Pass It On Plate, then it qualifies.

Are you excited yet? Start looking through your recipe blog posts and come back tomorrow for all the details and to see what you can win!

Books, Books, and more Books

This picture has been brought to you by the letter B, originally uploaded by passitonplates.

The living room bookcase is now in the garage - aka The Pass It On Plates Studio. No, we don't park in the garage of the new place; it's just the office. And what better place for our ten foot wide by six feet tall bookcase stuffed with books?

Yes, you read that right. We have a lot of books. While I have a ton of tapes, CDs, and downloaded MP3s, Mr. Pass It On Plates is Deaf and he buys books. Most of these are his, and about a third are cookbooks. (He's a Chef, so several are professional books.) The rest of the books range from theology & Bibles, (yes plural - I think he has over a dozen different versions), Chess, politics, horror, classics (Thoreau, Shakespeare, Poe), history & anthropology, finance, gardening & herbs...

So... which books are Pam's?

Now that you know that we have a HUGE amount of books (and there are about 10 more boxes of books still in storage) ...here are some of my books.

Pam's Books, originally uploaded by passitonplates.

Here are move of my books. In college, I was a Graphic Design major and now am studying Marketing, so that's where a lot of my interest lies.

Ok, so I also have some Sue Grafton (I love Kinsey Milhone!), Janet Evanovich, Lillian Jackson Braun (is Qwill a Youper - from Michigan's U.P? I always wonder if that's where Pickax is.) Of course, Harry Potter is there somewhere. Rachel is trying to get me to read Twilight, but I know I won't be able to put it down and I just don't have 24 hours to sit and read the book straight through right now. I do that with every Harry Potter book that comes out and although I love the book, it kills any chance that I'll get anything done.

Maybe if I ever schedule foot surgery... Nah I'm kidding. But with every Harry Potter book I started Friday night and finished up Saturday evening. Straight through without sleeping.

I'm nuts, I know.

Nikki at Project: Domestic Bliss

Libby at Aurora's Garden

Bella at Bella Casa

This award came at an auspicious time for me, as a positive attitude has us torn between doing two things. Both are important but we may only be able to have one or the other.

As I write this, I'm in my bedroom looking out at the old plum tree on the other side of the fence from our patio. The owner has neglected it and the weight of the plums at the end of summer has caused the branches to droop over the fence. Overripe plums have dropped onto our cement patio, leaving purple-black stains, the leaves cover everything, and we think a December wind storm will cause one of the large limbs to fall on the fence and into our tiny space. Frank's worried it could crush our little grill.

Frank wants to borrow my dad's pole trimmer to clean up some of the upper branches and cut back the tree so it doesn't lean on our fence. The tree trunk is offset and bulk -and weight- of the tree is nine feet north of where the trunk comes out of the ground. Or put another way, the trunk comes out of the ground about seven feet south of our fence. In this part of Oregon, the storm winds come from the south and we usually get huge wind storms in December.

Needless to say, we're a little concerned about the tree.

On the other hand, my bedroom window is eye level with the top half of the tree where the mossy branches hold daily sparrow and finch traffic. I'll have to get a bird book to i.d. all the breeds that visit, but when it's not too cold I like to open the window to hear their conversation. Sometimes a blue jay stops by and scares them away, but soon they return... little yellow birds, red-breasted finch-like birds, chickadees, and one silly bird that likes to run back and forth across the interior branches like he's on a racetrack.

Despite our concerns over the old tree, here is what I get to look at every day as I work on the computer or fold laundry:

We have lots of little yellow and red birds in the plum tree, originally uploaded by passitonplates.

Can you tell me what kind of birds these are?
And what do they eat?
(Besides plums - they love the dried up plums that didn't fall in September.)

Can you find them? Click on the picture and it will take you to my Flickr - then hover your mouse over the picture to see where they all are.

Our solution so far? We will hang up some bird seed when we use the pole trimmer to cut back the tree. Hopefully the seed will encourage these cuties to stay so we can enjoy both the birds and peace of mind when the wind starts to blow.

Oh! I just saw one I hadn't seen before! He has a dark purple head and orange breast. Same size as the other ones, and his beak is the same wedge shape. Wow, I love that tree...

Saturday's Craft Show

The craft show's over... the displays are disassembled, the inventory is packed away, and the teenager is unaware there's still a display plate full of cookies in the studio(hiding under one of the PlateWraps.)

If I met you at the show, Hi! Thanks for stopping by!
If you weren't able to make it to the show, here are some pictures of our corner of the auditorium...

This is what I looked at all day.

...when I wasn't cruising around the room, introducing myself to other crafters and encouraging some really talented people to check out Etsy.com
It's almost like I was on a mission to recruit for Etsy.

No seriously, I was on a mission to support local crafty talent and help them find a way to sell online that is quick and easy to set up. Etsy fits the bill.

Pam, Rachel (behind Pam) & Andi, originally uploaded by passitonplates.

I don't know what I'm looking at...
(Me in the green, Rachel standing behind me, and Andi in the red, leaning against her painted dressers.)

I'm probably checking the pottery table across the room to see if the guy in the orange jacket is looking this way. Andi had her eye on him all day.
(Whoops I spilled the beans! Sorry Andi! )

That red and blue puzzle chest in front of me is one of Andi's items. She paited puzzle pieces all over a wooden chest, then left three unpainted puzzle piece shaped spots inside - it looks like the puzzle is almost finished. Very cool. Darn, I didn't think to take a picture of the inside... sorry!

Pretty Little Doo Dads, originally uploaded by passitonplates.

We mounted the Doo Dads onto business cards, then stuck self-adhesive jewelry hangers (the plastic clip on the back of earring cards) to the cards. These were hooked onto a mini-blind that was zip tied to a coat rack (the kind that you hand hangers onto.

Don't you love the alliteration in that title?
You know, the more I look at this picture, the scarier I think I look. I'm not even smiling! I look like my feet hurt from standing all day.

Anyhoo, this collection of pictures would not be complete if I didn't show you what other talent was in my crafty neighborhood in the Lion's Auditorium on Saturday. Since Andi invited me to do the craft show, we got tables next to each other. On her other side was a huge collection of painted clocks that her dad made.

Ernie's hand painted clock, originally uploaded by passitonplates.

Andi's dad is pretty darn talented with a paintbrush. (No secret where she got her talent from!) He painted several clocks with scenes from the coast.

So now I have to drag you over to Andi's table.
Don'tcha love her dresser?

Sunset Dresser, originally uploaded by passitonplates.

Three little painted mini dressers are on top of the Sunset Dresser.
One of Ernie's clocks is on the dresser, too.

I was hoping this picture would do justice to this beautiful dresser. In real life the colors are so brilliant that you can't help but stare and say, "Wow."
The top and sides fade from sunny yellow at the front to deep sunset red at the back.
Stunning.

There's another puzzle piece on the inside. Neat.

Andi had some teenagers eyeing this dresser.

I like the kidney shape of this seat. Andi says the guy's butt is big.
Either way, it's a neat backless chair

Anyhoo, this collection of pictures would not be complete if I didn't show you all of Andi's stuff. She also had hats with the painted furniture.

Andi's Painted Furniture & Hats, originally uploaded by passitonplates.

There are notes on this picture of the hats if you click on the picture below - clicking will take you to flickr where you can see the notes.

Andi's hats, originally uploaded by passitonplates.

Look at all these 'hatz.' Andi whipped up 40 in her "spare time."

We hang out together for almost 40 hours each week at the same place... if you know what I mean.

I spend my spare time blogging and playing with my flickr account and she makes hats.

Hey, those aren't bad vices to have...

BTW, my one $5 sale from the entire day bought the grey and burgundy striped hat. So basically, I gave away a $5 item to someone and my company now owns a hat.

Several vendors didn't sell squat, so I'm not complaining about my $5 . The whole show was pretty pathetic. Of course, the pottery guys sold at least one $10 item. Andi took $10 out of her petty cash to buy a cup from the cute pottery guy in the orange jacket. As she walked away, I said I would write up a receipt so she could keep track of the money. I wrote,

"$10 to Andi for flirting purposes."

Don't worry, Andi! I'm sure he won't read this blog.

Probably.

So what will you show us on your video?

Last week at PamHawk.com you learned how easy it is to put video in your blog. Have you need wondering what you could do with it? ...or were you even wondering why I told you in the first place?

Imagine you're at an art fair or visiting an artisan's village. You wander from shop to shop, marvelling at all the wonderful things for sale. Some shops have the items displayed on shelves for you to look at, other shops have items on tables that you can pick up and examine more closely.

A few shops feature the artist at work. They talk to the growing crowd about their equipment, supplies, and technique, and look like they're genuinely having fun as they create more of the same art they are selling. It's fascinating to watch them work and explain the process, both technical and creative. As you watch them work, you notice there is always a crowd around their shop and the cashier is very busy, constantly ringing up purchases. After watching for a while, you decide you like this artist, their style, their sense of humor, and you just have to have one of their items. Not only because you love the item itself, but you are enjoying the complete experience of how your item came to be.

You buy the best piece in the shop and bring it home. The next time the art fair comes around or the next time you visit the artisan's village, you look for the same artist to see what new items they are selling this time. You also recommend friends to check them out and talk about your experience.

So now let's think about your business.

While you're thinking, hop over to PamHawk.com and see what totally creative, very easy, inexpensive big ideas I have for you. I bet you're going to love this post.

Christmas Bazaar - Keizer Lion's Club 11/15/08

Christmas Bazaar - Keizer Lion's Club 11/15/08, originally uploaded by passitonplates.

Tonight (Thursday) we were able to get into the Lion's Hall and set up for Saturday's Craft Bazaar. I loaded up a few pink crates of supplies and put my best inventory into one of those gigantic Ikea shopping bags and hopped over there to set up.

Ok, little detour on the story. I remembered it was an animal and Andi said it was in the building behind JC's Pizzeria in Keizer (Salem's one "suburb," if you will.) The sun was in my eyes and I pulled into a lodge-like building's parking lot. It was behind JC's.
"I'm here to set up for the craft show?" I asked.
"Not here."
"Where am I?" (Yes, I have been known to be a little ditzy at times.I swear those very pale hairs starting to grow in at my temples are blonde.)
"You're at the Elk's Lodge."
"Huh. And no craft show? Well I know it was an animal. Any other animal lodges nearby?"
"Yes. Lion's is the next building down the road, and the Eagles are the next building beyond that."
(Smart alek me couldn't resist smiling as I asked,) "So where's the Moose Lodge?"
The lady laughed.

I drove down the road, still blinded by the sun so I could see buildings but no reading was possible. I squinted as much as I could but the sun was starting to set and there was no way to shield it so I could see anything useful.

Pulled into a driveway, didn't see Lion's on the building, then turned around and went towards the next building. My phone rang.

It was Andi. "You turned around and left. Where are you goin', Turbo?" (She calls me Turbo. She's half my age. I love Andi.)

"Oh. That was it? My bad. I'll find a place to turn around and come back."

Despite my minor spaz, I got there, set up as much as I could, and snapped a few pictures before I had to run to Rachel's orchestra concert. Looking forward to the show.

Hey, if you're in the area on Saturday, mention this blog for 10% off your purchase!

More pictures to follow. I saw Andi's painted dresser in person for the first time and that picture does not do it justice. It is AMAZING. Same for her puzzle chest. I'll post more pictures over the weekend.
TTFN!

This is my Obnoxious Butterfly tote bag

Bright purple tote bag, originally uploaded by passitonplates.

I have a thing for tote bags. As I sew up other projects, I find fabrics that go together and I often whip up a quick tote bag - the size is based on my immediate need.

A few months ago I needed one big enough to hold a couple three-ring binders and a few other misc things, so I took some leftover obnoxious butterfly fabric and some leftover obnoxious purple fabric and made this cute-and-not-really-obnoxious tote bag. The handles are grosgrain ribbon.

DSCN5118, originally uploaded by passitonplates.

My discerning (now) 13 year old decided I should put the butterflies on the inside and the solid color purple on the outside. She said it's for a visual surprise, but I think it's so I don't embarrass her if I carry the bag while we're out together.

Ok, yeah, it's wrinkly in the picture. It had been backed up for the move and i had to snap a quick picture and show you as soon as it was unpacked.

Cute, eh?

Hand made sew-in labels

More and more people are talking about making their own Christmas gifts this year. That's exciting to me, because I've always liked doing that and the gifts were always well-received. This attitude shift could be a really good, meaningful Christmas for a lot of people.

That in mind, I wanted to share a handy tip you could use if you are planning to sew anything and want a nice looking label for your handcrafted item.

We hand-wrote our website on the inside of the band on each PlateWrap back when PIOP started. This worked fine for a while, until I realized it was time to get a better sew-in label. I was getting ready for a craft show and needed something really fast. (And really economical, since I had already spent a lot of my budget on plates and fabric.)

No time to design and order machine-printed labels, I stopped in to see Lisa at Stampin' Cat, a local stamping store, to see if she could help. She smiled and pointed me to a dabber bottle full of water-based paint that is permanent on fabric.

Permanent fabric paint for rubber stamping, originally uploaded by passitonplates.

I used this dabber paint with a silicone stamp I'd had made earlier. The labels were 7" long strips cut from a spool of 3" wide white satin ribbon that I picked up at Michael's for about $4.

To make the labels, I just dabbed the paint onto an index card, then tapped the stamp into it. I practiced stamping on the index card to get a feel for how much paint to load onto the stamp so I didn't get blobby results on the ribbon.

I use an index card as my palette, originally uploaded by passitonplates.

Ok, it's a little blobby, but readable. And instead of being all anal retentive and picky about the results I reminded myself that this is a handcrafted item and small variations are part of the label's character and should be considered a natural part of the PlateWrap.

Or something like that. Basically I told myself,

"Self, you have got to relax and let it be."

Several stamped labels on 3" wide satin ribbon, originally uploaded by passitonplates.

Nifty, huh?

Silicone rubber stamp, originally uploaded by passitonplates.

Oh darn it, I didn't think to take pictures of the labels in the PlateWraps.

To finish the labels, I folded each one in half around the band that encircles the back side of each PlateWrap, and sewed them in place. I use a serger, so that binds the raw edges on the labels. It looks clean and nice.

If you get a Pass It On Plate or see a PlateWrap floating around out there, check and see if there's a nice wide satin ribbon label sewn inside. (Not all PlateWraps have these.)

I can't just decide

Harlequin Damask
Originally uploaded by passitonplates

I bought a bolt of this pretty fabric last summer for PlateWraps but haven't done anything with it because I'd also like to use it to make some pretty dining room curtains and a table runner.

It's still sitting on the bolt, just waiting for me to make up my mind.

What to do, what to do?

Do you have supplies you bought for one project but never used because you got another great idea and then couldn't decide how to use it?
