Oh to Pinterest.... A Dollar Store Cookie Plate

How did I ever live life before Pinterest?  I know some joke that it's just an electronic version of hoarding but I refuse to believe that I am one of those people.  Where else can you find 100 different ways to make home cleaners, or 25 new ways to use a magic eraser?

One of my most favorite ways to use Pinterest is to find neat crafts that I can do in my craft room (nothing that requires a power saw).  After seeing a pin taking a simple dollar store plate and a porcelain pen; I had to try it.

I had the idea to cover my plate with quotes about food and what better inspiration than the beloved Julia Child.  After writing all sorts of wonderful Julia Child quotes, I left my plate dry for 24 hours, then I baked my plate at 300 degrees F for 35 minutes.

Apologies for the unclear picture.  Not only do I have a cookie plate, I also have a conversation piece.
