Keep getting emails from these urging me to subscribe and I must admit a lot of the stuff looks a bit good.
Does anyone read this regularly? Would you recommend it?

Snap! :thumbsup:
I was looking at it tonight (1st one). I printed off a couple of pages that I liked the look of. I have too much paper in this house already! :D

I do and I've kept all mine (been getting it almost since it started) - I go back through them every year - there are some very good, simple ideas in there.

I subscribe and have done for a couple of years - get it online with Morton Michel Insurance now so won't renew the mag but will keep it up that way :thumbsup:
It is a good one to start off with and has some quite simple ideas with relevant time of year themes for different ages. I still have all my copies :thumbsup:

I originally subscribed thinking I'd do it for a year and then stop because I reckoned they would just repeat their ideas - well I've had every issue since they started and I'm still going. It's fab! I'm not terribly creative so it's good for ideas - some v simple:thumbsup:

I used to view on line but found printing stuff I wanted very expensive - so now subscribe - had 2 copies so far - best thing I have done - I am far more likely to flick through a mag for ideas than to look online.
So pleased to hear from others that they do not repeat ideas.

I have a feeling you can buy this magazine in Hobbycraft, if you wanted to get a couple of copies before deciding to subscribe or not. That said, I DO subscribe, and think it is great. :D
