Look at what arrived in my mailbox today!!!
Yes, I'm excited! For the reason, see this post.
This is our one-and-only magazine subscription. And it falls firmly in the category of 'frugal'. When we bought this house close to 2 ½ years ago, we had to open both a gas and an electricity account in our names. By going with one particular provider for both (Origin Energy, for those of us Down Under), they threw in a free 2 year subscription to the magazine of our choice. Worth about $130, it was an awesome deal and truly a bonus as the gas and power suppliers all offered fairly similar rates - which means this magazine offer was quite a clever little marketing trick, LOL. There's no way we'd have paid for a full 2yr magazine subscription otherwise (though we have done 6mo subs before as gifts to each other in the past) but getting it for free was wonderful.
Look at that cover! (I wish I had a bigger shot). Look at all that lovely felt! Looking inside the magazine there are instructions for felt angels, felt teddy bears, the usual array of felt Christmas decorations, clothespeg and felt elves, satiny stars, and an awesome looking rag-tied country-style wreath. And the baking!
The baking people!
Twelve different kinds of awesome-ness right there.
Time to crack open the revered Felt Box (insert delicious-and-much-satisfied sigh here).
Cheers,
Lizzie
