Magazine Addict

I realized this weekend I may have a problem. I'm addicted to magazines. And hubs has a problem too. I was straightening up the house and noticed the stack of magazines on our coffee table is getting rather ridiculous. I think I've always been a magazine addict - I used to spend hours pouring over the pages of Teen magazine, then I graduated into Cosmo in the college years and gave it up for Martha Stewart once I was married and had a house.

Right now we currently subscribe to the following:
Oprah
Cookie
Newsweek
ESPN the Magazine
Martha Stewart
Domino
Self
Vanity Fair
W
Vogue
GolfWeek
Sport Fishing Magazine
and I just signed up for Garden & Gun!
(BTW Right now you can subscribe to W & Glamour together for $35 a year! I love the pics in W - it's such a cool magazine!)
We also frequently pick up copies of the following at the grocery:
Cottage Living
Coastal Living
People
US
What's your favorite magazine?
I think I'd have to go with Vanity Fair.

    Sadly, I'd probably have to go with People - or, or on a better note, Health Magazine.
    Came by to say "hi" and welcome you to SITS. Glad you're on board!

    WOW! That's a lot of magazines!!! I LOVE Southern Living.

    Thought I'd mention this...

    My friends and my mom and I each subscribe to different magazines and then swap in the middle of each month so everyone gets to read them. It saves us a lot of $$$!

    I think that All You and Real Simple are my favorites, but Glamour gives me my smutness that I need every once in awhile.

    I'm really bad too. Right now I have subscriptions to Health, Food Network, House Beautiful, Shape, Self, Southern Lady, Rachael Ray, Coastal Living . . I feel like I'm forgetting some. And then I'll pick up more at the store too. My hubby just shakes his head! Oh, I just ordered a subscription for Gun & Garden and I've never even seen the magazine! Just read good things about it on other's blogs so I thought I'd give it a try.

    Southern Living, InStyle, and People are my favorites. We get Domino (R.I.P.), GQ, Golf Digest, and Rachael Ray at our house, too.

    Oh I could never pick a favorite! I love magazines so much that I majored in Magazines in college - well my favorite is Journalism and Electronic Media with a Magazine Concentration. I helped start one at my college. Magazines are like crack. Those pretty glossy pages and layouts, that typography...drool.

    Wow, you win! Although since Domino has folded, you are saving some money there. Replace it with Real Simple -- I promise you'd like it. I enjoy reading Vogue but for fashion news-I-can-use, I turn to Lucky and InStyle.

    Town and Country is my favorite! I get about as many as you do! If you don't stay on top of it....those piles can get out of control!

    Is Cottage Living still around?!? I love that magazine and never see it anymore!

    I'm still crying over the end of Domino. I guess Self has taken over as my gym mainstay. Nothing gets you moving on a treadmill than cover ladies who spring back into designer jeans a month after giving birth to twins!

    We (meaning I) get: Real Simple, People, Country Living, Midwest Living, Southern Living, Psychology Today, Runner's World, Nashville Lifestyles, Traditional Home, In Style, Southern Accents, Coastal Living, Cooking Light and Sports Illustrated. whew! I want to subscribe to Vanity Fair, which I absolutely love and buy every month at the grocery store anyway. I think my favorite is Southern Living, with Real Simple and InStyle tied for a close second.

    There are a lot of magazines going out of business....sad...a sign of the times. I love W. I do not get it, but I love it.

    Stopped by to welcome you to SITS and invite you to be a part of my giveaway. Jump over and check it out. If you have time read about my "I love being carded!" card swap. Everyone likes "good mail", right.

    My friends used to call me the magazine queen. Now I don't really have much time to read so I cancelled a lot of my subscriptions b/c they would just pile up unread. I like to read UsWeekly and Instyle and home decor magazines though when i have time.

Star Wars Gift Bag Tags

Two years ago, for Walker's Star Wars birthday, I created Yoda tags to attach to the gift bags for the party. Little did I know these bag tags would become so popular on Pinterest! To date, these tags have been repinned almost 500 times!!! So I thought since there's so much interest, I'd add them to my Etsy shop . So now, for just $8.00 - you can receive the file electronically and print them for yourself! I jazzed them up a bit with some sliver glitter puff paint on the light saber and some silver ribbon to attach to the dollar store bags. Print as many or as few as you want! So, if you are planning a Star Wars party, check them out ! And may the force be with you!

Baby Shower Inspiration Boards

I got all excited about the baby shower inspiration board contest over at Sippycups Are for Chardonnay , but only ended up submitting this first one on time. I managed to pull the second together this weekend just for kicks and loved the colors, so thought I'd share here. The first board is call "Nesting Instincts" and the second is "Over the Rainbow". I think I could get addicted to creating these things.
