I love Pack-O-Fun magazines (but maybe that is obvious by the big pile up there) I've been collecting them for the past three years, and my oh my the pile has grown. They usually live on a shelf of crafty books up in the studio, but today I wanted to share a few covers with you.

Pack-O-Fun is still around, but of course the vintage copies are my favorite. The magazine was created in 1952 by Edna Clapper who printed the first issue in her basement (I love that!)

The older issues I have in my collection have illustrated covers instead of photos, so I'll have to show you those some time too.

Meanwhile I love this issue from 1978 with instructions for creating the droids C-ME-GO and CARD-TOO-ME-TOO from leftover Christmas cards. Such good stuff!
