Kids magazine
Grrr. My worst fears are being realized. Now that Martha's in jail, the whole thing's going downhill. Living, Everyday Food, and Weddings are still holding out, but I fear Kids is a canary in a coalmine. I get home from work today and find it in the mail. Oh boy, I think, something to take my mind off the horrors to come in the next four years. What a disappointment. A huge percentage of the stuff in this issue is completely recycled. WTF? I know Omnimedia is famous for reusing ideas from the magazine on TV, in books, on by-mail cards, the website, through Martha by Mail, etc., but this hits a new low. Plus, they're going from 6 issues a year down to 4 (and, incidentally, dropping any reference to Martha). There are a few good things: quilt stockings, a Christmas village made of manila folders, a bead caterpillar, some other stuff.

this is one of my FAVOURITE magazines of all time and i haven't seen it around in a really long time. i know they got rid of the baby edition (ALSO a favourite!) and just put the baby stuff in the kids issue in the last couple months but now there's no kids issue at all? even though i like blueprint, its no MSL Kids.
im sorry, im the only person i know that reads this magazine and when i did a google search for any info on the mag this blog came up. i had to vent.
