Was going to share a gazillion photos of my shopping exploits in Singapore today but this came in my mailbox.
Look at the spine:
Cardboard crafts!!!
By me!!!!
I've been waiting for months to see this in print. The team at Family Fun wrote to me about adapting that old blog post about working with cardboard - the one that's in my sidebar -, and it was a dream assignment, not to mention an incredible honor. I get to spread cardboard love nationally! I hope it's contagious! Cardboard gone viral would be uber coooool.
Wow! Congratulations!! I don't usually buy magazines, but I will keep an eye out for this one and add it to my sparse collection. You are an inspiration to your blog readers, and now you can be an inspiration to millions of people nationwide! Yippee!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteWhenever I read about your adventures with cardboard, I wish I had little kids around. Congrats on the article!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! Congrats! I recently got a free subscription to that magazine, and I've been passing it along to my dil, but I'm keeping this one! I'll let her look at it, though. ;) Mine didn't come today... hopefully tomorrow! Then I can brag to everybody that I know you! ;)
ReplyDeleteGlee!!
ReplyDeleteOh, Lier! We got our issue yesterday. I am thrilled for you, very exciting.
ReplyDeleteWow how amazing is that! Congrats! Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! We get Family Fun, and can't wait to see your article!
ReplyDeleteI got my issue today, also. Imagine my pride when I saw that spread! I came upon it while waiting for the girls at their wushu class, and I showed the article to the other moms - saying "I know her! well, I e-know her blog, anyway!" Congratulations - you're getting so famous! :-)
ReplyDeleteFANTASTIC L!
ReplyDeleteKinda your version of appearing on Vogue/Elle/some fashion magazine!

SO awesome! Congrats! =)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Brilliand. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! I think you are awesome.
ReplyDeleteCan I just mention that your cardboard love is not going national but international. I live in Australia and I buy my copy from my local newsagent. It may take a while for this one to hit the shelves but I will let you know when I get it.
ReplyDeleteHi Lier... I have started adapting so many things in your blog for my 2 years old daughter, esp on the cardboard games etc2. I'm sooo addicted. Thanks for introducing such creative-fun-cheap choices for kids games. Btw, I live in Malaysia!
ReplyDeleteI was so excited to see the article about you and cardboard in Family Fun.I am a big fan of your cardboard creations.Wish they had you do a cardboard project for every issue.Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas.
ReplyDeleteYIPPEEEE!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!
I am so happy for you! Family Fun is a great magazine, what an honour.
ReplyDeleteOpened up my mag today and I'm so thrilled to have discovered you!!
ReplyDeleteYay you!!! That's so exciting LiEr!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I saw it in my issue yesterday and dinner and waved it around at my family and told them I follow your blog. My girls want to make some things they saw. I am hoping maybe we can plan some cardboard adventures during holidays from school since I am so bad at managing my time during the school year, between teaching preschool and raising a family.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI just got this in the mail yesterday!! Cool! Congrats! I haven't opened it but now I can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the issue!

ReplyDeleteSo fun! I love your cardboard creations. Inspired me to make a house for my little guy from a flat screen tv box. It's long and skinny but he loves it! :-)
ReplyDeleteI got my copy the other day, opened it and saw the cardboard. I KNEW your name HAD to be in there! yeahhh! Congrats!

Deja Vu! I was just perusing an issue (October 2011) I picked up at the library and saw the tree house (page 22). It took me a minute to figure out that it is also going to appear in the March issue - along with a bunch of other cool stuff - YAY!
ReplyDeleteOh, and by the way, I am now eyeballing every. cardboard. box. that passes my doorstep. I work at a preschool and I would really love to make something like the Green Grocer's. I know the kids would love it. Thanks for the great inspiring blog!
Brilliant! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWa-hey! That's simply awesome! I'm definitely keeping my eye out for it when it hits the shelves in Australia :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome! I will have to pick one up! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!! I'm so thrilled for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this! When this month's Family Fun arrived, I *knew* I had seen that treehouse somewhere in blogland. I'm glad I found you and I'm glad you did this for FF. This afternoon, we're tackling the FF version (as we need a template to follow!) I'm also excited about finding another book series for my voracious reader. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! So happy for you, I love reading your blog!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get my issue so I can see it. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThat is so amazing -- congratulations!
ReplyDeleteSomeone sent me your link awhile ago to check out, and now I know why! :)
ReplyDeleteAm a mom of 2 who's trying to get more crafty--will be visiting often!
I was looking through my online copy and spotted your name and cardboard creations! They are AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being in Family Fun!!

congrats ! you must be thrilled !!!
ReplyDeletea friend mentioned your blog to me... I'm now a follower :)
Hiya,
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame the magazine isn't available in the Netherlands (as far as I know). Thankfully we have your blog where we can see most of your cardboard creations! You've contaminated at least one person in Europe with the cardboard virus. I have send you a link to my blog earlier with my cardboard castle. This week I made a pirates ship; http://peetmadeit.wordpress.com/2012/02/26/piratenschippirates-ship/

Congratulations! Have you had to buy (or construct from cardboard) a bookshelf to store your published items?
ReplyDeleteI was paging through this copy of Family Fun during my daughter's dance class and I saw this piece. I knew without reading a word that it was you! I've been offline until this last month and having fun catching up on your posts. Congrats on the article!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!.... You deserved all the best publicity for your art, You are a cardboard-genius!!...Im so happy for You....Maybe some day can be a craft book from You?? ...BTW, every time I'm at Costco and I see all the cardboard boxes piled up next to the cashiers, I remember You and your creations! ;)
ReplyDeleteIncredible! I got that family fun and it was one of our favs! I didnt realize that was "you" until now. I have been going thru your site and getting more and more inspired. I am on a cardboard craze and new to blogging and feeling inspired!
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing and sharing and inspiring...but most of all for recycling!
