Remember this post from last year?
Well, it happened again! Only this time it was a surprise.
I got my December/January SPECIAL HOLIDAY ISSUE of Family Fun magazine on Tuesday and started to read through it. When I got to page 88 I saw this:
I thought, Funny, that sounds like the idea I submitted a LONG time ago. And it was even funnier when I saw that it mentioned our family by name. It WAS my idea! Someone did call me about publishing it about a year ago but she didn't have a definite date. Honestly? I think it was a lot more fun finding out about it this way.
Two days later I got 2 extra copies of the magazine in the mail. I'm guessing it's so I can autograph them and pass them out to my adoring fans.
It makes me feel a little famous.
To top it all off, they pay you $100 if they use your idea...
I think that makes me rich and famous.
(Hey, when it comes to fame and fortune, I take what I can get.)

I knew I liked you for a reason; rich AND famous- WOW! Seriously, Gerb, that is really awesome. I agree being surprised about it was probably so much more fun than expecting to see it. I would have been jumping around, screaming, and showing everyone. That is one magazine I don't get anymore, so I will have to go and buy one then can I swing by and have you autograph it?!?
Congrats to you!
I actually saw the article on Monday! And I was going to comment to you about it on Facebook, but I forgot until just now! Very cool!
do I have to buy the magazine to find out what your idea is?
That's awesome! One time my cousin and her husband were featured in the ensign with huge pics covering 3 pages. I felt famous through association. If something ever directly happened to me I wouldn't know what to do with myself. So I will share in your fame by association.
Too cool!!!
Well, nobody claimed those autographed copies yet, have they?
Ahem...
Seriously? That is too cool!!!
That's awesome. Congratulations :)
I want an autographed copy! Congratulations! That is so fun.
Dear Gerb,
Have I told you how awesome you are lately, because you ARE!!
Have a great day!
(oh, and congrats on your new-found fame)
How fun!
I hope that basking in your fame and fortune is totally happy!
Wahooooo! (and cha-ching!) Great job. =)
Natalie- Thanks! Did you get your autographed copy? ;)
Kamie- Thanks - it was fun to happen upon it.
Jen- If you click on the picture it will enlarge and you can (hopefully?) read it. If not, I bet I could find it online and email it to you. It's just about a creative (& cheap!) way to celebrate birthdays.
Autumn- I'm happy to share.
Kristin- Agreed! I'm still feeling pretty cool...
T5th- I have only given one away. If you're serious... it's yours.
Gina- Seriously!
Amber- Thanks. It feels pretty awesome.
Cami- If you come by, I'll give you my very own copy. Since we're tight like that, yo. Word.
Sarah- Have I told you lately how awesome you make me feel? Because you DO! Thanks.
Anaise- So far it's been fun. ;0)
Pam- Every little bit counts, right? I bet you could submit some of your 'Why Didn't I Think of That Wednesday' ideas and they'd totally be published in their "My Great Idea" section. If you want details on how to contact them, email me!
How cool! I love that magazine! You're awesome, Rich&Famous. Is the article online?
I knew you were a famous person the very first time I met you!! Now, the world knows how awesome you are!!
