well, the wait is finally over. ‘FOLK Issue 2: Christmas!’ is here and little ol’ me is a part of it’s amazing pages!!!!

i still am finding it hard to believe, but i guess it has to be true as i’m holding copies in my hands! and not only am i on one page of the magazine, i’m actually on several pages! somebody pinch me.

in this issue i have two columns. the first is called ‘inspired by’. This issue focuses on burlap.

This particular column instructs you on how to make these amazing trees and wreath out of burlap. Pretty spectacular, right!?

i spent hours and hours creating this collection of burlap-wonderfulness and i couldn’t be happier with the results.

they are now proudly displayed in my gift shoppe for all to see!

the second column, Sweet Endings, gives a tutorial on how to make the ‘old fashion’ dried apple wreaths and cinnamon applesauce ornaments.

my method of displaying these creations gave them a fresh new life…

…and a christmas project that can be cherished for years to come!

pretty stuff, right!? they also smell ah-mazing!

you’ll also find a recipe for these delicious cookies….

cream wafters! my favorite.

plus, tons and tons and tons of other inspiring holiday projects, recipes and stories. i was impressed with the first issue of FOLK but this issue truly takes the cake! and at 160 pages long it will keep you inspired for a while.

issues can still be found through small retailers listed here (my gift shoppe included in that list).

and in celebration of this excitement i decided to give away FIVE copies of the ‘Christmas! Issue’ to the always wonderful and super kind readers of inspired by charm! i wouldn’t be in this magazine without your kind words and constant support!


there are TWO ways to enter…

first, simply leave a comment below. if you are a ‘no reply-comment blogger or if you are not a blogger at all, PLEASE include your email in your comment so i can get in touch with you.

second, tweet, blog or Facebook about this giveaway. then, come back here and leave a comment with the link showing you shared this exciting news.

pretty simple, right?

This giveaway will end Saturday, November, 19th at 9PM EST. I will announce the winners shortly after. 

Good luck everyone! And thanks again for all your support! For more information on FOLK, please visit the website and follow the blog!

    Congrats to you Michael on being in the pages of such a wonderful new publication. The burlap trees/wreaths are so darling, but honestly, the dried apple wreaths and ornaments just really spoke to me as something I would love to create. I’m crossing all my fingers and toes that I get picked!!! (grin) email: clkoeberl@gmail.com

    Awesome stuff!!! I’m looking to possibly buy a subscription for my mom for Christmas and I’d like to have the Christmas issue to wrap up and give to her to let her know she’s got a great gift on the way! So, I’d love to be entered into the contest, please. :)

    Yay! Congratulations on being in this beautiful magazine! The burlap trees and wreath are amazing! There are no retailers for this mag in “the middle of nowhere” Nevada, so I would love to win.

    Congrats on getting published!! When I was 12, I was published a handful of times in my favorite beanie baby magazine…I still have them to this day. There is just such a warm fuzzy feeling that comes with seeing something you worked on in a glossy magazine =]

    Congratulations on this dream-come-true, Michael!

    You always have wonderful and creative project ideas and recipes, and these are no exception. Love the old-fashionedness (is that a word? LOL) of the ornaments and burlap decorations!

    I’ve been eagerly checking the mailbox every afternoon for the past several days, hoping my issue of FOLK will be there wrapped in its brown cover. Now I’m all the more eager to get my sweaty mitts on it after seeing these sneak peeks!

    Take care,

    I am looking forward every time you blog. So inspirational. Makes me think Christmas and perhaps I can get my act together. I also want to see your shop before long. Perhaps I can time my visit with those nephews and the darling niece.

    This is so awesome! I’d love to win a copy of the magazine so I can see your beautiful work on paper!

    I adore those burlap trees – totally my style. I’ve got a bunch of cone tree projects that I hope to share on my blog-once I get some free time! And I’ve also been planning on whipping up a batch of cinnamon-applesauce ornaments, but with a twist!
