Somerset Home is calling my name! The cup with butterfly is exquisite.
Artful Blogging please…
Would love to win a copy of Where Women Create. All your magazines are so inspiring.
I would love a copy of Stuffed!
I would love a copy of Somerset Home! Please! Thank you!
Somerset Home grabbed my attention with its cover featuring the French Country cups. As I looked throught the pages I caught my breath again when I saw the Garland of Love. I adore all things “garland” and the paper flowers it’s made from are gorgeous! Thanks for a great giveaway!
Somerset Home would be a wonderful magazine to win! Thanks so much for the opportunity!
I would love an issue of Greencraft. The dryer sheet article was intriguing.
I love your magazines! I would like to win Somerset Home.
I would love to see the magazine Altered Couture.
I guess I would pick Willow and Sage as I love to make my own bath and body products, but it’s hard to choose! All Stampington magazines are the most beautiful and creative magazines around – I love them all!
The GreenCraft Magazine looks interesting to me.
I’m loving Somerset Home — one of the projects that caught my eye was the upcycled chalk board but there’s more to like inside that issue, too!
I would love to win Somerset home. Moved to a new home and could use the ideas.
I always enjoy Green Craft so would love to win this issue!
I always drool over Somerset Home. Would love to win the issue.
I love Somerset Home’s cover~ GreenCraft always inspires, Altered Couture is layered like a summer’s dream, but Willow and Sage-makes me wander in my garden and see herbs’ potential magic glowing like green stars.
I’d love to be your winner! So hard to decide which magazine since I love them all but I would choose Where Women Create!!
GreenCraft is my favorite this time around.
oh, wow….you are all getting better and better and better! i have a hard time choosing between: where women create (looks fabulous, as always); green craft, which has my curiosity so piqued; somerset home, which i always love…always. so hard to choose. if i win (wish oh wish oh wish)…i would let you choose any one of these for me and me completely happy. thank you for this chance to have another great magazine in my hands and inspiration in my heart.
My favorite magazine is ‘WHERE WOMEN CREATE’….
I’m in my senior years and I so enjoy seeing all the ideas and inspirations
that each person does. I have been able to take some of the suggestions and
put them in my very small stitching room. It’s wonderful to be able to enjoy
not only my room, but to look at all the different creations from others who
enjoy their rooms.
My second favorite is STUFFED. How can’t anyone who sews and stitches not
adore this absolutely cheerful mag with so many things to sew???? There will
never be enough time to do and make all the things on my TO DO LIST.
Thanks so very much for allowing us to see ideas…. great minds!!!!!
I can’t wait to get my hands on the latest issue of Somerset Home. I make youtube videos and am constantly inspired by the ideas I find in Somerset Home!
Altered Couture is offering some tempting ideas for seasonal and trans-seasonal looks. The jacket would be perfect for the fall here in the north-west climate. Thank You for the offers.
I would love to win a copy of Willow and Sage. Thank you for the opportunity. :) Teri
I want to look through every page of STUFFED! Those colorful sugar skull dolls are too cute for words. Thank you!
I’d love a copy of Somerset Home. Thank you for the chance to win. Susan

Where Women Create seems like such a fun and inspiring magazine, but right now I am addicted to homemade bath and body products so Willow and Sage may be perfect for me.
I’d love the GreenCraft Magazine.

Can’t wait to get my hands on Art Doll Quarterly !
It’s so hard to choose but Artful Blogging looks very inspiring!

Somerset Home is the magazine I don’t have and would love to get some new inspiration from. Annie Sloan in a Stampington magazine would be two of my favorite things coming together. Pure magic!
