Mary Engelbreit's Home Compainion magazine. I have a free sample here, and I am very tempted...just thought I'd like to hear your opinions on it!
Thank you!

I take the magazine too. I do agree, though, that it is not always as great as it used to be but I don't want to miss an issue.

Hey, gals! I'm with Pamela; I have gotten it since its inception too, and the first couple of issues I didn't really like....I thought they got better from that point. Considering how easy it is to spend the same amount for a subscription on some other thing, I still think it is a good deal, myself. Nance |

I have gotten ME since it came out. I still like it. But it helps when you subscribe...they are much cheaper this way, so then if some issues aren't as good it does not cost you $5-$6. I do not want to take a chance on missing something great...so the couple a bucks each it costs to subscribe is worth it to me. Same with Country Living...not as good as they used to be...but you can subscribe for a $1.00 an issue now. I gave several gift subscriptions over the last couple of years and they were only $5.00 for a year. Can't beat that with stick...so like I said, if they are not as good as others the cost is pretty minimal. BTW...I do not care for ME products...too bright for my tastes...but I like some of the artist and homes she features. Most of them are not anything like her brightly colored products.
So there's my two cents worth!

I took it for only one year and then said NO!. It is an ok mag but too many times there is not much that I am interested in. I will buy it if it looks interesting. MB

I had a subscription for a year, but it didn't really give me what I was looking for... I did find a shop that carried them andwould sell me any leftovers at half price after they hit the "expiration" date. That was cool while it lasted. You may also check if your local library carries it. You can always ask for their back issues. Our library keeps the monthly's for one year, then they get tossed.

I am not as excited with it as I was at first. I let my subscription lapse awhile back and just usually buy one or two a year now..I check them out real well first.

this is the Feb/march issue. I think I was expecting it too look more like her artwork or something, can't quite put my finger on what I was expecting. The cover is darling and I was excited at first, but maybe like Jill said, it's not quite the "Mary" I expected!
That's ok, like I NEED another magazine. I am glad to hear your opinions.

I take ME and have since the beginning. It used to be a lot better than it is now. Someone said Mary isn't as involved in the magazine as she used to be, and if that is true, it could be the reason for the change. It is pretty artsy and most of the houses are sort of out there. It used to be a little more homey, I thought. I am still subscribing for now, but if it doesn't get better, I may not renew next time. |

If you got the Feb one, it has more ads than usual, I thought. It is not normally like that. I have subscribed for 2 years and have purchased it since it came out.
Blessed Be!

I think I may pass this one up. I am browsing through and see a lot of adds, not much how to...It is a cute mag, but like Nancy said I may do just as well to pick up any copies I'd like off the newstand.
Thanks girls!

I did for a year. It was alright. I didn't continue the subscription.

ITS A CUTE MAGAZINE, BUT ONLY COMES OUT SIX TIMES A YEAR, SO I JUST BUY IT IF IT LOOKS LIKE A GOOD ONE. I CUT OUT THE PAPER DOLLS AND KEEP THEM.LOOK BON, I WROTE THE WHOLE THING IN CAPS.THAT IS BECAUSE I HAVE TO LOOK AT THE KEYS WHEN I TYPE.
