We had a most exciting mail delivery today, with the arrival of our contributors copy of Better Homes and Gardens Holiday Crafts Magazine. We were asked back in January if we would like to contribute a few projects to the magazine and are delighted to see them now in print. Nine of our projects have been grouped together in Simple Sentiments section, which contains some quick and easy ideas to make gift cards and decorations using paper, fabric, felt, and ribbon.
We haven’t spotted the magazine anywhere locally in Australia but it is available for download from the Better Homes and Gardens website and it went on sale in the USA in August.
Our festive trees made from cupcake liners even made the front cover!
Christmas craft projects are our favourite things to make. We have a few ideas for this Christmas and are just waiting until Sarah has completed her Year 12 exams in November before getting started.
Congratulations! Isn’t it fun to see your own projects in a magazine? Really beautiful pictures.
Greetings, Rike
Thanks Rike – it is such a thrill!
HSC year for you as well? I feel like the entire household is in total meltdown as we are on this horrific countdown. Wishing Sarah (and the rest of the family) all the very best for the upcoming exams. It is such a milestone, filled with all sorts of emotion.
Thanks Angela – yes its 53 days to go – we are all counting down with her:) Best wishes for your student … bring on Christmas.
Looks sooooooooo pretty! I love the red, white and aqua colourway – so much more light and airy than traditional red and green (though I do love that too).
Thanks Ann! We love every style/colour of Christmas decorations. Red and aqua does look fresh.
Yaaaaay! Congratulations!
Thanks Anorina – it is always exciting to be published.
Congrats Lisa thats so awesome and i love your ideas and good luck to Sarah with her exams.xx
Thanks so much Shez – have a great weekend.
You are great! I think you could publish a book with all the beautiful craft you’ve made! And made with love, love between mOther and daughter, love in your family, in your family!
Congratulations!!! Katia.
Thanks so much Katia for your encouragement.
I picked up a copy of this gorgeous magazine at my local newsagent in country NSW last week, love your projects!
Thanks Meredith – glad you found a copy. I haven’t seen it in any of my local newsagents yet …
Hey, well done! Everything looks great. It must be hard to think “seasonal” well when it’s not the season.
You ladies are quite a team. What a wonderful magazine layout! I’m so pleased for you. I love all of your little projects.
