The best part? I AM A CENTERFOLD!!!
Sorry for gushing, you guys, but this is, like, MAJOR! Eight pages, no ads! SWEET!
OK, I'll stop, now. Sorry. How utterly RUDE of me, especially since I've been on hiatus all summer and have so terribly neglected everyone. ...Well, I look forward to 'catching up' and will be back real soon to let you know what I did on my 'summer blog-cation.'
WOO HOO John! How very exciting. The layout is BEAUTIFUL! It is also one of the most beautiful dollhouses EVER! Congratulations! I am so very excited for you. It is more then well deserved!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow do I get a copy???? Did they translate any of it for you into English. What a drag not to be able to read the article (if that is the case0 Maybe you do read Spanish.
I am THRILLED to bits for you!!!
Catherine OXOXOX
Thanks, Catherine! I am trying to translate the text as we speak --er, type! Miniaturas is available at fine bookstores and miniatures shops everywhere --or you can go to them via the internets, I guess. Thanks again!

Grrr i am trying to order copies online and I can't find them. Most of our book stores have vanished. There is hardly anywhere to buy GOOD magazines now. If anyone finds copies on line PLEASE come over to my blog and leave me a message on my last post letting me know where to buy one. :-(
ReplyDeleteBetsy! OMG, I missed you, too! I am anxious to see your treehouse and all the other projects you have going on! Thanks for the compliments.

Linda, your exquisite 'foot-warmer' is my prized possession. Everyone who sees it can't believe the detail and craftsmanship. I count myself extremely blessed to have an artist of your caliber following my blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Iris! I just saw what you were up to and I have to say I LOVE your new mini family! And I'm glad to know you from 'back in the day,' too, lol!

I appreciate your compliments, Brad. I will soon disclose my latest project which I am SO excited about...
ReplyDeleteLATEST PROJECT!!! OMG! i am so excited. I was afraid you were going to vanish. What a relief.
ReplyDeleteI have gotten a copy of the magazine sorted out now. Thanks to all for their kind help and offers.
The article turned out beautifully! Congratulations, John...it is well deserved.
ReplyDeleteDear John, warmest congratulations on your centerfold spread ... Great photos! Your excitement is contagious. So nice that you have been acknowledged in print for your wonderful work.
ReplyDeleteRegards Janine
Thanks, Jeri and Janine!
ReplyDeleteChe bellissimo articolo! Vien voglia anche a me di acquistare una copia di Miniaturas! Ma con tutto lo splendido lavoro che c'è in Merriman Park non c'era da stupirsi che ne sarebbe venuto fuori qualcosa di grandioso.
ReplyDeleteWell Done You! What a success. The photos look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations John, you have so much deserved to show Merriman Park in the Spanish magazine.
ReplyDeleteYou can boast so much, it's absolutely amazing and so so nice with 8 center pages. I will boast so much that I "know" you.
It is something special that you have made so special and so thoroughly beautiful. You are also a good photographer.
Es maravilloso precioso
Enjoy your success, you have so much deserved it. But I am excited to see what you will come up whit.
Hugs

Congratulations, John, the article looks great and the photos are really beautiful! It is great to see all the rooms together like this, your work surely deserves this recognition.
ReplyDeleteAnd welcome back to blogland, you have been missed :-)
((((John))))) Congratulations! It came out so wonderful! My issue came today in the mail too and I loved the layout. It is so nice to have a physical copy of your photos to stare at. Miniaturas is the most incredible miniature magazine because of the quality of the work featured and also th large glossy photos. Yours were perfect! I can't wait to see what you are creating next! Well done! How nice to be able to brag about the fact that you were a centerfold...lol
ReplyDeleteHi John! What an great honor and what a great spread! I don't think that I have ever seen the full color exterior shot of Merriman Park until just now! It is so beautiful! Just as classy outside as it is,inside! Miniaturas magazine is such a high quality publication and although the text is in Spanish, the vivid color photos and the quality of the paper more than compensates for the language barrier. I am delighted that you have such recognition John, you deserve it 100%!!!! Congratulations!

Hello my lovely,
ReplyDeleteWhat excitement!! Enormous congratulations to you, I'm so proud, I have to rush out and GET THAT MAG!!!!
And centerfold to boot, the pictures look amazing, you couldn't be more deserving and I hope this inspires you to start a new project.
I have to admit to being a little flat in the miniatures department, I don't know whats happened but my mojo just got up and left me...: (
I hope to get it back soon, well done you!!

OMG what a fantastic spread! Especially the centerfold, but hey isn't that always the case ;-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations John, your work and your gorgeous house are worth all the attention and praise it gets. Enjoy!!! I'll see if I can get my hands on a copy here.
PS: I can read the article when I open it up in a new window! I'll have to take my time though, Spanish is not my strong point ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi John, WOOOOOW, what an exciting news: Merriman Park in the Centerfold Status, what an honor and so deserved, enjoy!!! Your house is so beautiful, distinguished and is definately worthy to be published.
ReplyDeleteI have missed you last summer, now I know you were on summer holiday and the weather is still "good" with heatwaves ;)?? We had them too in our cold froggy land, like we, the Dutch, call our country :D!
Hugs, Ilona
