I pinned the Where Women Create Spread! All issues look great!
It is so hard to choose! I’m an avid recycler/reuser and upcycler/ I love to tweak clothing and outfits. My studio is my sanctuary where I sew, paint, stamp, and just lose myself. I create mixed media art for my home. I also make jewelry. Seeing how others have designed their spaces is so inspiring.
Thanks for your consideration!!
Hugs from Alaska!!
I like Artful Blogging because I get to glimpse into the worlds of other women and dream. I would really like to win this magazine. Thank you.

My favorite new magazine is the Color Studio! Because it is so enter active. Inspiring.
Altered Couture I am working with changing my wardrobe by re-purposing it. The inspiration will help the progress of this project.

I love the Altered Couture. No waste.

I like the Willow and Sage Magazine, because I believe its important for us all to get back to natural basics and away form chemicals that harm us and the environment.
I love to Where Women Create! I get amazing I inspiration from seeing where others do their creating. I like seeing how they organize their space and perhaps I can learn from them.
I always love Willow & Sage….but this time, I was captivated by Where Women Work… It was great seeing how different art studios are set up, the lighting, the size, the placement of tools etc. But then again, I love ALL of these publications…thank you…
Love to repurpose interesting finds!
Love Altered Couture, just a great approach to making beauty while keeping as much from landfills as possible.
Must you always make us choose? I cannot possibly! Artful blogging…because I love to connect with those who can creatively express themselves in such insightful ways. Altered Couture…because I love to turn something old into something new. Green Craft…because there should be No Waste. Willow and Sage…because I am always looking for ways to use my herbs. Where Women Create…because someday I will pull it all together, and this tells me it can be done! Thank you!
Love Art Doll Quarterly. I’m an artist who paints and sculpts will clay. Enjoy seeing what others do.
http://pin.it/FX1jlaF I pinned it! I love this, I had made another similar journal but bigger from your suggestions and I can’t wait to do some of this little cute ones.
I enjoy the greencraft layout. Love to recycle, upcycle, and reuse!
I love every issue. Besides having so many projects to inspire me, the layouts and photographs are just so beautifully done.

I am really looking forward to reading the new issue of Where Women Create! I pinned a reminder for everyone to enter this awesome giveaway: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/480055641515977082/
I love seeing the wonderful spaces that these talented artists get to work in. Where Women Create is one of my favorite magazines. Thank you so much!
My vote is for the upcoming Willow and Sage print. The cover looks like I just need to pull it off a shelf and read it from cover to cover. Bath balm creations, coconut oil uses, adding color to soaps…every article sounds terrific and fun.
Altered Couture would be Great! Thanks for the opportunity.
If I HAVE to choose, “Somerset Home” would be the one. The pillowcase project as well as the wall art look interesting to me.
Love the Greencraft magazine making something from little of nothing. It is full of ingenious ideas that are fun, useful and can be gifts as well.
https://au.pinterest.com/pin/356488126740268922/
I pinned Somererset Home to my “stuff I want to make” board. I am interested in remaking old jars. I love to do that. I also want to know what kind of whimsical wall art artists are currently making and how I could adapt the ideas for my living room. I’d love to win a copy. Thanks
Green Craft Magazine because I am an avid green arts & craftier; and love the inspiration of the recycled notebooks!
It’s a toss up between “Where Women Create” and “Somerset Home” but I’ll choose WWC because I want to be one of those women…one that has it together.
i have been a big fan of where women create since the magazine was introduced. It is such a great source of inspiration. Reading all the success stories of women who have made it makes me want to strive for my own dreams of becoming a creative business owner!

This issue of Art Dolls looks like it has some fantastic stuff in it!
Pinned to my Bites about Blogging board. Your beautiful and encouraging magazines would be well loved in my home office! https://www.pinterest.com/pin/447967494171863855/
The cover of Art Doll is stunning. So are the pages inside.
Would love to try the Where women create issue. It looks very interesting.
Where Women Create is always so inspiring and full of information. I can not wait to read the next issue. http://pin.it/PBwlQwR
GreenCraft is my favorite of your magazines. I recycle as much as I can and love to shop flea markets to find items that I can upcycle into something new.
I pinned Greencraft to Pinterest but i absolutely LOVE the Home magazine too. So many great choices…its too hard to choose. (I’m keying this on my tablet and dont know how to share the link to Pinterest on this thing). So many beautiful things and art to create in every mag. It’s all stunning eye candy. Your mags make me want to quit my job and stay home and create. But i do need to eat so i guess i’ll keep my job.?
I love the Artful Blogging spread. There is something about blue and white that is so clean and happy looking to me.
It is always so hard to choose because I love them all but this months Green Craft looks like it has many wonderful projects I’m just itching to try, I would love to win a copy. I’ll keep hoping…. :)
forgot my link to Pinterest here it is

It is hard to pick just one but the uniqueness of Where Women Create just grabs me. Love to read about such creative and inspiring women as they share the details of their work spaces.
You just have to be motivated to create.
I chose “Artful Blogging.” I really enjoy reading creative blogs. I’ve been a Somerset fan for a long time.
I’m starting to dabble in salt and sugar scrubs so Willow & Sage would be a great source of information and inspiration.
I’m constantly inspired by WWC and hungrily await each issue to see the latest creative spaces & learn about the women who made them!
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/494973815280787538/
I’ve just recently been introduced to Stampington & Company and like everything, but I’m especially intrigued by the Willow & Sage issues… and Green Craft… and Somerset Home, lol
Green craft is my favorite. I love the idea of using stuff I already have, and still creating something unique and inspiring.
Love your publications! Artful Blogging looks good to me as I am always looking to be inspired by great photography.
Artful blogging looks interesting this month with lots of info. I am starting an online boutique and would love to learn how to blog successfully.
The magazine Where Women Create, shows how incredible women are in creating businesses
It gives me a lot of inspiration
Thanks

I pinned Artful Blogging to My Favorite Magazines Board on Pinterest, but if truth be told, I am not sure I could pick a favorite out all of your lush magazines. Were I rich, I would subscribe to them all. Although I have two blogs and a mini-blog on Tumblr, I don’t know how to put a link next to this comment. I still have a lot to learn. Thank you for being the most creative publishers in the world. I do not exaggerate.
“Where Women Create”, I love to see the spaces where creative women do their thing! https://www.pinterest.com/pin/59461657560747926/
While I love all of these magazines, Altered Couture has always called to me the most. I love the idea of re-imagining clothes I already have, or can find at thrift, into something new, beautiful and unique.

GreenCraft Magazine looks really interesting! Love the recycled notebooks, and I see that there’s an article on making sachets with vintage quilts! I have an old quilt I am looking for a project for….
