Thank you, Becky! I have such great memories of it too — all the stories and the lovely hidden pictures. It’s fun to watch the kiddos enjoying the same magazine now!

Thanks, Heather! They are so much fun to make with the kiddos!!

Well, you should know that my 6 yr has been dying to make those since we got this issue. We had depleted our empty tp tube stash so we’re saving up the next few so we can make several. Thanks and congratulations!

That makes me SO happy, Julie!!! Yay!!!!!
PS: I’ve been known to ask my neighbors/friends/family for silly things like tp rolls, empty egg cartons, newspapers they may have laying around…. just for crafting!

WOW! Congrats to you! High Five is a great magazine. My girls have graduated from it now but these mushrooms are perfect for their fairies and gnomes!
Thanks for all your amazing and frugal idea!

Oh, I think a little mushroom village would be perfect for the fairies and gnomes — what fun!!!

I saw this and loved it — should have known it was you! I didn’t look at the name, lol. We’re going to do it when home for Thanksgiving.

Ad-free magazine?? I will have to try it. Congrats on your craft being in there! The mushrooms are so cute!
** I browsed a kids magazine (national geographic kids I think…) in the store once and it was SO full of ads I was shocked. I put it back on the shelf!
October 21st, 2011 on 7:55 pm
Congratulations! Those are cute =)

I had never heard of this magazine since I live in Canada, but it sounds really nice, do you know if they deliver in Canada too? I couldn’t find much about it on their site. If so I will click your link for sure
