I like the Bella Grace issue because it portrays winter as cozy and magical and not cold and dreary.

I put the Take Ten Edition into my Pintrest folder ‘May I have the Envelop Please.’
I would love to win the Glimpse Inside Giveaway…. The Coloring Studio would be my choice

In the fast paced NYC life, working a high pressure full time job and trying to raise 2 small children with roots and wings, creativity, curiosity and serenity – YOU are my peaceful island. I can just open the Artists’ Café or the Somerset Studio Gallery magazine and be transported to an iridescent universe of inspiration and originality.
Thank you for YOU!
Where Women Cook inspires me. Cooking is creative! Can’t wait to see this issue!
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/489836896955866607/ This lady rolling out dough reminds me of my Aunt Betty’s Egg Nog Cookies. I believed she could make anything taste fantastic in her bright red six burner stove with the cast iron burners. I believed it for 40 years in fact, until I mentioned it to her – she never had a red stove… but someday, I will just to honor that fictional memory.

They are all inspiring, Sew Somerset looks appealing, as I plan to do more sewing. Thank you for the giveaway!

Beautiful magazine cover, as always. I never fail to find something I love in every issue.
Bella Grace seems to speak to me. I am a Winter hater, especially since I suffer from SAD. This issue looks like wonderful therapy for me.
https://www.pinterest.com/ewert0479/crafts/. The little vintage camper is adorable. I LOVE Sew Somerset, it always gets my creative energy going!
Oh my, all of these offerings look soooo deliciously inviting. Thank you for such lovely invitations to enjoy the world. I adore “Bella Grace”, and as I type here I see gray clouds heavy with snow ~ so I am drawn most to the “89 Beautiful Days of Winter” ~ to remind me of winter’s beauty. Thank you for this delightful opportunity to win such a special treat. Your publications make me smile like a kitty in the sunshine. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/561613016017426354/
I liked Take Ten because I love writing and receiving letters. I was in the military and stationed in foreign countries. I would rush to the mailroom everyday to see who had written to me. It brought me closer to family that was far away. I still have those letters especially some from my mother who has since passed away.
Art Quilting Studio would be my hands down favorite, love Deborah Boscherts work.
I really liked The Coloring Studio! Very informative information on coloring tools!!
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/384424518176999572/
Any seaside art that distracts me from the MN winter is a welcome diversion. And it is lovely.
I Pinned Sew Somerset- the small stitched projects will make great journal elements.

I would love to win the latest edition of The Coloring Studio! I pinned it: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/59461657560341443/
I love mixed media and mixing things up. I love bringing the outdoors in – and the indoors out. It’s hard to choose – because each publication is inspirational in incorporating art into the everyday – but I would probably go with Somerset Studio – and Belle Armoire Jewelry , too – for helping me to think outside the lines and make things a little more quirky & edgy. The ideas aren’t just confined to the project – but can be expanded out as far as you imagine it to be.

I would love winning the latest issue of The Coloring Studio, lots of unique ideas as always.
I love Belle Armoire Jewelry, I’m just sure if I had that issue I could create some jewelry. Wouldn’t that be fun?
I like the a sew

I like the artist cafe. I did post on my pinterest board titled Artists (masters). I also love some of your other magazines like Where Women Create and Art Journaling. Oh! and Artful Blogging. I just bought the Sew Somerset magazine for my sister Julie for Christmas.Thanks for this great offer.
Wax seal pendants sounds like such a unique idea, I love it!
I shared the Belle Armoire Jewelry on Facebook. I love the fresh ideas and there’s lots of polymer in there.

All your magazines are wonderful. Would like Artist Cafe.
These issues all look so gorgeous! My mother is 92 and has started coloring. I would love to win the Coloring Studio issue to give to her. Thanks for the opportunity!
Its a hard choice but after much thought I’d have to hope Sew Somerset finds its way to my door. I’ve loved it from the beginning. Thanks for the chance to make my Christmas and New Year a bit brighter.
I’m charmed by the apparently tiny hooped embroideries. I like Sew Somerset because it gives me inspiration for breaking out of my sewing ruts.

I am new to learning about this magazine and I LOVE THEM ALL! So many ones I want. I am hoping these are available online not sure my pocket book can afford the real in hand versions. I might have to beg my hubby hard and say I’ll take them for my Mother’s Day Gift and Birthday Presents haha.

I read a copy of Bella Grace at a friend’s home. It is such a beautiful magazine. New Adventures Between the Shelves! As a retired literature teacher, I felt drawn to this article, but as I turned the pages, I realized every article spoke to me.
