How did you get started building with LEGO bricks?
\n<\/strong>I started building with LEGO bricks as a child, and simply never stopped with it. My entire family (Mom, Dad, Ganddad, Sister) build with LEGO, and we build a lot together.<\/p>\n

Which project or projects are you the most proud of? Why?<\/strong>
\nThe Elves Treasure Chest. With this project kids have to solve a small puzzle, but it\u2019s also a nice robot to just watch in case there are more kids than puzzles. The project also contains a lot of details which refer to the story of the LEGO elves. The LEGO designers loved my chest so much that they asked me to make a copy of it which is now in Billund.<\/p>\n
