Ok, my April issue unveiling may have been a little late. But the Canadian Living May issue just came out last week with my latest contribution:
There is still time to head out to the newsstands to pick up a copy so you can make this daisy topiary from egg cartons for Mother’s Day or simply for spring! I will update with the link when the article is available online.

Happy belated Easter! Nope, I didn’t let this Easter pass without a craft from me. But I have been so far behind, I didn’t tell you sooner! Or can I just say I am a year early?
I made paper Easter egg pockets for Canadian Living‘s April issue this year. Hope you can make it next year! There’s definitely a lot of time to make these by then…
The direct link to the craft is here.
So sorry I am late!
canadian living february 2012 issue: valentine candy heart boxes
January 9, 2012 § 8 Comments
On Friday, as my co-workers and I spent our lunch hour wandering the aisles of a nearby Walmart, I spotted the February issue of Canadian Living Magazine already out on newsstands!
I did my rounds of grocery shopping on Saturday and, indeed, the issue is available everywhere magazines are sold in Canada. So if you’re in Canada, please head over to your closest newsstands to pick up a copy and turn to pages 66-67. For those of you beyond our Canadian borders, you can find the article at canadianliving.com. (I will update once the craft is available for viewing online).
Here it is! Treat boxes in the likeness of candy hearts for you to make for your sweetheart this Valentine’s!
Am I giddy! My first print publication. Well, my “first”, unless considered are my monthly column for our local Parish newspaper at the age of 13 and my dreadful illustrations in the high school newspaper, but they simply won’t (shan’t) count. So yes, this is my first print publication. Ever. And of the year. I am so blessed. I didn’t imagine when I started this blog not so long ago that my first print publication would be a two-page spread in a national magazine.
I cannot wait to share with you other publications to follow in 2012 (and, praying for a bit of luck, beyond). I could not have more gratitude for the opportunities being given. Thank you!
