Todays giveaway is coming to you from the future. Well, sort of.

If you'd like to win a (future) copy of the CakeSpy book just lease a comment with this post, and if you'd like please answer this question: Are you Team Pie or Team Cake? I hereby publicly declare myself Team Cake, pies are great but cake has a power I cannot deny. Ok, you've got until Saturday, May 21st at 10 a.m. PST to enter, the fine print [8], as always, applies.

This is the mural I stare at while I'm waiting for the Light Rail to arrive. For some reason the thing I focus on first is always Alice juxtaposed with the rice cooker. Something about the rushed worry next to a quiet kitchen appliance makes me giggle. My camera does that face detection thing and I'm happy to tell you it only recognized Dr. Frankenfurter Elizabeth Taylor there as a human.

May Birthday Giveaway: Grow Great Grub
Today I've got a copy of Grow Great Grub [1]: Organic Food from Small Spaces by Gayla Trail. This book has a perfect combination of the information you need to grow your own food in containers, planting beds or community gardens, what to plant, how to care for it, and heaps of beautiful photographs to inspire you. I'm very intimidated by gardening and I find this book to be comforting. She covers everything I might like to grow but doesn't bury me in too many options. There are even recipes, tips on keeping or preserving and a section on how to can. This book is both a great place to start, and has lots of information for those gardeners who are looking to polish their food growing skills. And if you don't already follow it Gayla's site You Grow Girl [2] is full of great information. Gayla is one of those people whom I've known online for years and years. (I find myself saying that a lot lately!)
If you'd like to win a copy of You Grow Girl please leave a comment with this post. You've got until Tuesday, May 17th at 10am PST to enter, the fine print [3] applies. Here is something to talk about if you'd like: Have you ever eaten anything you grew yourself? I am terrible with plants so the most I've managed is using my own rosemary and thyme, but my dad is a gardener and grows blueberries and wild strawberries (which are delicious). Ok, good luck! Closed! Thanks for entering.

May Birthday Giveaway: Kirby Krackle
[1]
Today I have the first two albums by nerd rock band Kirby Krackle [2] to give away! My husband Scott [3] plays bass for the band so I can tell you they are currently hard at work on their third album, which they are writing and recording at a lightning fast speed. If you are not familiar with Kirby Krackle them you can listen to some of their music right here [4] on their site. I am not a music reviewer so instead please allow me to point you towards this review of E is for Everybody (the second album) over at Wired's Geek Dad: Kirby Krackle?s E For Everyone is Geek Rock Perfection [5] where he says "there is truly not a bad song among its 11 offerings. Each is a perfect nugget of guitar pop glory adorned with the kind of semi-obscure references you?d expect from self professed geek rockers."
I you want any nerd cred you must have these albums! To enter please leave a comment with this post, you have until Thursday, May 5th at 10 a.m. PST to enter, the fine print [6] applies. If you'd like please answer this question: When you were a kid who was your favorite superhero? I'll go first: I wanted to be Wonder Woman. I was just the right age to both watch the show and wear the Underoos and I remember running around the yard with friends pretending to lasso bad guys and fly in the invisible jet. (While running around in the yard I was wearing regular clothes not the Underoos, just to be clear there.) OK, good luck everybody! Closed, thanks for entering!

May Birthday Giveaway: soaps from Product Body
What?s going on here? My site started ten years ago this month and to celebrate I?m giving away something each weekday. Because I like you.
Today I've got something that will help you clean up, a three pack of soaps from Product Body [1]. The soaps, from top to bottom, are Tea Party "A wonderful scent that evokes memories of lazy summers, Tea Party is like drinking honey-sweetened iced tea with lemon beside a patch of honeysuckle." Cubano "A shot of steaming Cuban espresso with chocolate shavings, served with vanilla bourbon, a sprinkle of cardamom and a dollop of cream. Made with real cocoa." Alabaster Sea Salt + Coconut Milk Bar "A pure white bar made with Pacific sea salt, there are no added scents or colors, just oils, sea salt and coconut milk to build copious amounts of lather and leave you incredibly soft." Is anybody else hungry right now? I've previously used Joanna's Crush On You [2] sugar scrub and found it to be perfection. Joanna is also offering a discount to Not Martha readers, that's you! Use NOTMARTHA15 for 15% off. Thanks Joanna! (Valid through June 15th, one coupon per customer.)
To win these excellent soaps please leave a comment with this entry, and if you'd like something to talk about answer this question: What are your fragrance notes in soaps and perfumes? I always go for citrus scents first. Green scents are my next favorite, I'm definitely a fan of the things that smell very fresh. Your turn, you've got until Wednesday, June 1st at 10 a.m. PST to enter (I'm giving this one a longer entry time as I didn't realize I'd scheduled it on a holiday weekend, oops!), the fine print [3] applies. Good luck! Closed, thank you for entering!

May Birthday Giveaways!
Hi, hello, hi there. This May marks the tenth year of Not Martha, ten years! A whole decade! To celebrate I'm holding giveaways each weekday in May filled with stuff I love from people I know. It's gonna be fun.
Looking back at the archives I see the first post was on May 22nd, 2001 and I only posted six things that month. The very first post to this site was about a kit that helps you put gifts inside of balloons [1] (sadly, a dead link), the second post was about a long time love of mine the Meathead [2] (miraculously it's still there [3], it's a plastic skull covered with red jello then layers of cold cuts to be served at Halloween and the reason I called my meatloaf hand the Meat Hand [4]), my third post was a list of stuff I liked [5] including retro video games, cookbooks and dishes made of sugar. Posts four [6], five [7] and six [8] are regarding Fluevog shoes that leave hoof prints, gasses that preserve a half empty bottle of wine, and the article in Salon that mentions a magazine that would be published sometime later that year, it was called "Readymade". Taking just the first six posts into consideration I'm gonna go ahead and say this here site hasn't changed much in the past decade. It really doesn't seem like that long.
Each giveaway will take entries for about 24 hours and the first one will be tomorrow morning. Good luck everybody!

May Birthday Giveaway: Gluten-free Girl and the Chef
What?s going on here? My site started ten years ago this month and to celebrate I?m giving away something each weekday. Because I like you.
Today I've got a copy of Gluten-free Girl and the Chef [1] to give away, it was written by Shauna and Danny Ahern who do the site titled, you've perhaps guessed, Gluten-free Girl and the Chef [2]. I talked about Shauna's first book a few years back when I spent the day being gluten-free [3] and discovered gluten is everywhere, including my toothpaste and my hair product. At the time I met Shauna I knew one person who had celiac, and since then I've met many more. It seems like every one of those I've met has gone through a struggle with what they cannot eat anymore and this is where Shauna comes in, she is a generous, happy, glowing soul who focuses instead on all the goodness one can uncover while eating gluten-free and she shares that. This book was written after she married Danny, the chef in the title (and one awesome guy, if I may say so), and the book covers a love story (romantic sigh) and lots of recipes and beautiful inspiring photos.
Do you live gluten-free or know somebody who does? Then this book is one you'll want. To enter please leave a comment with this entry and, if you'd like something to talk about (I love reading all the stories!), here is a question to answer: Do you know somebody with celiac? I'll go first: When I was living in San Francisco I learned about the disease from a co-worker who had been diagnosed earlier that year, it was completely new to me. Now it seems that a startling number of people I know have celiac. Alright, you've got until Thursday, May 26th at 10 a.m. PST to enter, the fine print [4] applies and as always good luck! Closed, thank you for entering!

May Birthday Giveaway: lollipop collection from This Charming Candy
What?s going on here? My site started ten years ago this month and to celebrate I?m giving away something each weekday. Because I like you.
Today I have sweet stuff to give away. This Charming Candy [1] is awesomely offering any one of their lollipop collections [2] to the lucky winner. The company is made up of two lovely ladies, Susan and Kate, and the lollipops are all made by hand here in Seattle. The flavors are carefully tested by panels of tasters (I had the luck to be one once) so only the best surface. And the lollipops are beautiful! After seeing them all lined up at the CakeSpy Shop I nearly wanted to buy a bunch to decorate my dining room table. You can choose between any of their collections [3]: Fruit Basket (their newest), Spice Rack, Celebration Time, Adventurer's Pack and Breakfast Tray. I must try that Salted Caramel flavor, oh, and the Tangerine-Clove too. I see sugar in my immediate future.
You want some candy? Of course you do! To win please leave a comment with this entry and if you'd like something to chat about (I love reading all the comments) answer this question: What was your favorite candy when you were a kid? I liked spice drops at Christmastime. There I said it, I was a weird child! Your turn, you've got until Wednesday, June 1st at 10 a.m. PST to enter, the fine print [4] applies. Good luck! Closed, thanks for entering!

almost daily photo: April 13th
My RSS feed broke, the engine light in my car is on, I was late to meet a friend at the bakery and when I got there I knocked a vase off of a table in a dramatic fashion, the cap of a Sharpie in my bag came off leaving some ugly black spots and when I got home I discovered I have a run in my Spanx. It's only 1:30 in the afternoon. I sincerely hope your day is going better than mine.
update: I also forgot to put a title on this post, which I've just fixed. Hey, if you are looking at this in a feed reader and cannot see the moody photo of the offending Sharpie let me know and I'll try to figure out why RSS might still be broken. My thanks!

a road trip with Posterous
When Scott and I moved from Ohio to California we had the types of mobile phones that only make calls, remember those? While exploring our new state we would go to places that were amazing (the Golden Gate Bridge, Yosemite, the beach right there on the real actual ocean) and call our parents and say "guess where we are!" It seems like we blinked and here we are with phones that take photos and send email and so many ways of sharing our experiences with photos and video online.
[1]
I was thinking about this the other day when Posterous [2] got in touch to talk about about their Posterous Groups and privacy. They want to let us know that Posterous is an easy way you can share thoughts, photos, video and documents just with the people on your list. So Scott [3] and I decided to take a mini summer vacation to try it out.
We went for a one-day road trip. These are all photos we sent to our family Posterous Group (meaning each time we sent a photo it landed in the email of our family members almost right away) and which would be completely private except for the fact that, well, I'm showing them to you here. Below is what we learned on our trip:
East of Seattle are a few places that make for a nice day trip without it being too long of a car ride, which is especially nice if you have kids in the car or, like me, get car sick pretty easily. First on our list was Snoqualmie Falls [4]. We drove up to the just-redone park where you can get some great views of the falls. On the day we visited the water was rushing harder than we'd ever seen it before and the wind was picking up the mist and covering those of us on the viewing platforms.
Since the photos only go to your Posterous Group you don't have to worry about sending a slightly unflattering or just plain boring photo to a list or site where more people than you'd really like can see them. You mom loves you and wants to see your pretty face no matter what. (I was so cold and my hair was getting very wet in photo above. Hi Mom!)
Posterous is free (yay) and super simple to set up. It does two things, it works as a simple blogging platform to allow you to share whatever you'd like with the world, and it also allows you to set up Groups to share words, images, video and attachments with only those you'd like to while keeping it nice and private from everybody else. People in your Posterous Group can also send items to share so exchanging information or keeping in touch is as easy as possible. Examples! You need to see some examples, go here on Posterous [5] to peek at some sites. And look! The Maker Faire Daily [6] is a Posterous site, awesome.
The Salish Lodge [7] is perched on the land just next to the falls (you can see it in the first photo of the falls above). There has been an inn in that spot since 1919 (the current one was was rebuilt in the 80s). Salish Lodge has an amazing brunch menu and in particular the Country Breakfast is famous for being enormous and must be attempted at least once. Brunch and then a nice stroll along the park trails to view the falls is a good start (you might need to walk back and forth through the park more than once to recover from the meal). I hear the rooms in the lodge are nice. We've never stayed at the lodge but we have lingered in the lobby while pretending that we're staying there.
When you send a photo out using Posterous the email arrives in the inboxes of your group with the sendee being your own email address, so there is no confusion over who the message is coming from. Score one for making it easy on your family.
The town of Snoqualmie [8] is a very short drive just down the road and they display old trains all along the main street, which grew up along the train tracks there. A lot of them are available for you to climb on and in, I felt like we were getting away with something. We also saw a large wedding party out to get a group photograph (the bridesmaids were wearing navy dresses with bright yellow accents, it worked surprisingly well). We also saw a couple on bicycles who were both wearing large paper crowns and totally owning the look, I liked them immediately.
The photos you send to your Posterous Group are also collected in your Posterous account, all neat and tidy and together. You don't have to worry about sorting them or uploading them somewhere else later. I really fell for this feature, the album of the trip is ready for you right away with no extra work. Nice.
Snoqualmie also has train rides out of the Train Museum [9]! We watched as one passed by, we were a bit jealous of those on board. Scott's nephew and his dad would love this, so we have a reason to return.
Posterous sizes, orients, hosts and generally makes good the photos and video you send. Get your family members set up to all post to the group and this feature might also eliminate you getting emailed giant photos of your niece at her dance recital that take forever to download and are sideways when you open them. (Can you tell this happens to us? This happens to us.)
The next town over from Snoqualmie is North Bend [10]. It's a sweet little town surrounded by looming mountains. One is Mount Si [11], a popular hiking spot which we have yet to take on, I hear the view at the top is amazing. I'll take their word on it. North Bend is also home to Twede's Cafe [12], made famous by Twin Peaks. We didn't stop and have pie, we should have had pie!
On the way back to Seattle we stopped at the historic XXX Root Beer Drive-In [13] in Issaquah. The walls are covered with old rock-and-roll posters and souvenirs and classic car stuff, it's really something to behold.
While we were out we sent photos with descriptions and notes using the email on my phone and the Posterous app (requires iOS 4) on Scott's iPhone (there is an Android app as well). My iPhone is older and takes the grainy photos you're seeing, Scott's iPhone is shiny-new and takes nice photos. I also played with his Hipstamatic [14] photo app that day, I like it.
Since we were on vacation we took the opportunity to order the XXX signature burger, an enormous creation that is about 10 inches across. That mug of root beer? Also enormous. We split both but didn't finish either. Ok, maybe one of us finished their half of the burger.
It seems like every time we stop at XXX Root Beer there is a classic car show in the parking lot next door. Shiny and red!
Because the things you send to your Posterous Group only get sent out to your list (in our case family) you can show off your vacation photos immediately without letting the whole internet know something like: "Look! We're at the Grand Canyon! And we're obviously nowhere near home right now so go ahead and steal that giant television I posted a photo of last week!"
You can tell the people who make Posterous like you. They make it easy to share information with everybody, or just the ones that you'd like, using whichever way is most convenient for you. You can post using an app, by sending the information you'd like in an email (either from your computer or from your phone) or by using the Posterous website itself. Basically anywhere you might be. Handy. And Posterous knows just what to do with the words/photos/video you send when it gets there. I'm really impressed with the care that they put into everything.
Just so you know: This is a sponsored post from a company that I like.

Yay! Today I have the ABC Poster [1] from Matthew Porter [2] to give away. Matthew Porter is a Seattle illustrator and childrens book author whose distinctive style has become familiar to our household, we've bought several of his books for our niece and nephews. His wife, Andrea, is the administrative side of the business (and since I work with her in the GBA [3] I can tell you she is a force). They owned the Bluebottle art gallery here in Seattle for eight years. In addition to his books [4] he sells original art [5] and onsies, hoodies and posters in the shop [6]. His most familiar character is a monkey and his book Monkey World [7] is a lot of fun, I have to admit we read through a few times before mailing it off to our niece and nephew. I absolutely love that Matthew offers his top 10 childrens books for inspiration (bottom half of the page), there are a few books there I just barely remember.
If you'd like to win the ABC poster please leave a comment with this entry. You have until 10 a.m. on Wednesday, May 18th to enter, the fine print [8] applies. If you'd like something to mention here is a question to answer: Did you have a book as a kid that you remember to this day? Mine was Dr. Seuss's The First of Octember, because my birthday falls early in October and I was fascinated by the idea that there might be a month in there somewhere I hadn't been told about! Alright, good luck. Closed, thanks for entering!

a visit with Wilton
Last week I had the opportunity of getting to visit the headquarters of Wilton [1] for a peek inside their operations, a bit of cake decorating instruction and a look at the frenzy of the annual Wilton tent sale. It was pretty neat.
The first thing I learned? I'm not so great at wielding a frosting tip. It's going to take a great many more hours of practice. We learned stars, rosettes, zig-zags, shells, vines, leaves and buds. I am only confident at leaves.
We learned how to do that nifty basket weave! It's more simple than you might suspect and is therefore worthy of showing off and pretending like it was a lot of work.
This is the camera crew who was around all day. At first I found it disconcerting but by the end of the day I might or might have not have been looking straight into the camera while wearing a tablecloth tied around my neck like a giant bib and saying "I like my dress more than I like my dignity." You may never know.
One of the new-to-me things from the day were these shaped rubber bands that easily hold the end of your pastry bag. So easy to use! So smart!
I also learned that I'm not a natural when it comes to working with fondant. I'm supposed to have a whole bunch more finished objects on that yellow square there. My final flower had a lot of assistance from the instructor. As in: she did it for me.
We got to take a tour of the props rooms, the photography studio and the studio space where the designers create camera perfect cakes (we weren't allowed to take photos in there since they were getting ready for future things, but oh my gosh I wish I could show you what their cake closet looks like, it's amazing.)
Then we had a short cake decorating competition! We had an hour to come up with a theme and decorate some pre-made papier mache cakes. Our team went with what we knew how to do, basket weave (learned about three hours earlier, mind you) and making use of the many pretty sugar flowers offered on the tables. You know what seems easier and faster than it is? Cake decorating. Know what's worse? Cake decorating with a film crew in the room. We barely finished in time. I have heaps of new respect for those people in the cake decorating competitions I see on television. I have to admit, though, it was a lot of fun.
We took a tour of the official Wilton School where they hold all the classes, and there was a class going on so it was really cool to get to see works in progress. They have a great setup with overhead cameras and giant screen so you can see the instructor's hands. I intend to return and learn how to blow sugar bubbles next year. The picture above is the only one I grabbed, it shows foam hair curlers propping open pieces of a fondant bow while it drives. Clever.
Afterward we took a tour of the test kitchens were Wilton assures that their recipes will turn out the same in your kitchen. They have a two sided kitchen, one with a gas stove and the other side with an electric stove. We were all crowded into it so I don't have a decent photo, but it was reassuring to see that they use the same household appliances we do.
One of my favorite things was the wall of Wilton history. Apparently the company was started to teach people how to decorate with boiled and pulled sugar! This black and white photo shows off decorated cakes that one must actually crack the surface of to get inside. (I so badly want to do this! A pinata cake, how fun!) Later they joined forces with frosting decorators and formed classes closer to what we'd think of today. In the Depression they practiced using mashed potatoes instead of buttercream since sugar was rationed.
We happened to be there during the annual Wilton Tent Sale. (Did you know this was a thing? I did not!) It was enormous, like visiting a Costco on Saturday afternoon full of nothing but cake decorating supplies that are 75% off. The best sellers? Clear vanilla and parchment paper, smart shoppers those. Not shown: the giant whoopie pie pans, and a whole stack of my personal favorite, the skull cake pan [2]. I talked two casual browsers into buying the skull cake pan while I stood there. Seriously.
Then it was off to dinner where all our cakes were displayed.
And our cake won an award! Ok, everybody's cakes won awards! We got "Most Contemporary". Go team contemporary! Huge shout out to Nosh With Me [3] and Mommy Hates Cooking [4] for being quick with the frosting and having quite the eye for flower placement. These awards were made from real fondant and frosting and somebody put a lot of work into making about thirty of them, so thanks, they were lovely.
You know what I didn't get? A lot of photographs of all the awesome people. Here is everybody I met (some in person at long last, some for the first time, everybody was amazing):
Thank you Wilton!
One last note: if you're ever going to take a cake decorating class don't wear a mostly-white dress. Trust me on this one.

May Birthday Giveaway: The Wilder Life
[1]
This here website started ten years ago this month and to celebrate I?m giving away something each weekday. Because I like you.
Today I'm thrilled to be able to offer three lucky winners (that's you! and you! and, yes, you!) a copy of The Wilder Life: My Adventures in the Lost World of Little House on the Prairie [2] by Wendy McClure. Wendy's site, Pound [3], was among the very first I started reading way back-in-the-day and I followed along as she investigated her love for Laura Ingalls Wilder. I somehow missed out on the whole Little House experience and I have to say I'm jealous. (Anne of Green Gables? Frodo? Susan and Lucy? All yes. Little House? I'm feeling like I have to catch up to the rest of you.)
If you have an affinity for Little House this book is for you. To win a copy please leave a comment with this entry, and if you'd like something to talk about answer this question: Have you ever worn a bonnet? I'll go first: Yes! But not on purpose. I remember my aunt making me wear an acclaimedly homemade bonnet one the moment I visited Oklahoma. Shortly thereafter we went through a drive-through, which I think was Sonic. I feared they had cameras and could see my polite bonnet wearing shame. I knew the adults were getting away with something because my older and younger cousins were not required to wear bonnets. Luckily the pointing and laughing were kept to a minimum. Ok, embarrassing childhood snapshot time is over. You have until Tuesday, May 10th at 10 a.m. PST to enter, the fine print [4] applies, good luck! Closed, thanks for entering!

photo: best case scenario emergency oil
When your car's oil light comes on while you're out running errands the night before a flight it's a really lucky thing that the nearest place to pull over is actually the parking lot of a drugstore that happens to sell oil. It's even luckier if you have a Scott [1] of your own who happens to be on his way home and can do all the dirty work for you.* While you're waiting for your Scott to arrive it is also very lucky if you happen to have a Car Kit [2] with scissors so you can improvise a funnel out of a water bottle. It's also pretty cool that the kit also contains individual handi-wipes to clean the hands of your Scott after he's done saving the car. And then you can pick up dinner from your neighborhood Italian place before you head home. Seriously though, the car kit has saved the day a number of times since I've had it. It's always so cheerful to realize that you do have that flashlight/tire gauge/sunscreen/safety pin/breath mint/pliers that you need.
* (For the record I definitely can put oil in my own car but he really was only minutes away and what the hell, it likely saved my favorite jeans from a nasty oil stain.)

one view from the Space Needle
Last month I took a picture of the Space Needle from the Columbia Tower Observation Deck [1] (also shown below). Last night I happened to find myself on top of the Space Needle, so I took a picture of the Columbia Tower to compare. They both seem tiny from these vantage points. Hello tiny self way over there!

a few things
Earlier this month Product Body [1] offered a discount code and a few people had some trouble, so she's fixed it up and extended the deadline through the end of June. Enter NOTMARTHA15 for 15% off when you?re checking out. Valid for everything on the site except the Scrub of the Month club, use as often as you'd like.
I'll also mention that School House Craft [2] is still offering 20% off for any ticket combination to the conference. Enter notmartha when you buy your tickets. This will be good up until the event (in September!).
And finally there is a pretty neat thing happening here in Seattle this Thursdsay, June 16th:
Moveable Type coming to Seattle's Central District!
June 16th, 5-8pm
at Miss Cline Press shop
2370 East Cherry (cherry & 23rd ave)
Join us for a printing party to welcome the Moveable Type national tour on its first stop in Seattle.
Moveable Type is a mobile print shop built into the back of an old delivery truck. The truck is owned by Kyle Durrie, the proprietor of Power and Light Press in Portland, Oregon. Kyle is starting a 9+ month tour across North America. The idea is to combine her two passions of traveling and printing. Now, the truck is ready and the adventure is just beginning. Her first stop in Seattle will be in the heart of Central District at Miss Cline Press shop.
During her trip, Kyle will be visiting schools, art spaces, city parks, music and arts festivals, craft shows, parties, and anywhere else that has an interest in learning about printing the old fashioned way.
Moveable Type will be setting up its mobile print shop outside Miss Cline Press on Thursday, June 16th for an evening of printing demos, studio/truck tours, and tall tales about life on the road. This event is free and open to the public, and participants can expect to get their hands dirty and make a few prints to take home with them.
A priceless opportunity! Hope to see you there.
