So. Mary Jane's Farm, years ago, was the last magazine I subscribed to. I still reread my old issues, usually outdoors where they practically become breathing, living things (fellow Mary Jane lovers understand that).
Then becoming all I-don't-like-clutter (and, er, due to the fact Tom was out of work for 20 months), I stopped subscribing to any magazines.
Until this past month.
In my couponing adventures, I came across an offer for a year of House Beautiful for just $4.99 and, suddenly, that magazine sounded oh-so-good, like the necessary thing to return my love of decorating (got a bit burned-out at the ol' farm).
Then remember my free subscription to All You Magazine through Recyclebank? Well, this morning I earned another free magazine subscription. This one is for Country Living Magazine (clap, clap, clap!).
Recyclebank has a variety of magazines, so hey. If I can earn points for these, anybody can and so to all my fellow penny-pinchers, this post is for you. :)

A huge thanks to Julie No Longer In Texas! She recommended a blog last night, one which totally stole my heart. Many of you will love A Brit In Tennessee also-- I guarantee it. Gorgeous outdoor photography, wise sayings and -- well, check it out soon, ok?

Don't you just love Springtime?

There are still a ton of good things in this Life and at my age, I would rather meditate upon those.

I gave up magazines for a time too, then when I get a good offer like you've gotten I subscribe again! Country Home and House Beautiful are both good reading and contain much inspiration!
Enjoy your reading!!
Hi Pat! Yep, I'm looking forward to becoming inspired to decorate again--it's been awhile. heh. :) Oh, and as I read your comment I thought, "Hmm... Was it Country Home or Country Living I ordered? Turns out it was Country Living, so I came back here and made the correction. Thanks for commenting which helped set me straight! :) ... Debra
Very happy that you enjoyed that blog, Debra! I think it is wonderful! Regarding magazines, one of my favorites, when I had subscriptions, was "Birds and Blooms". I also liked the fact that the magazine wasn't full of ads. If a mag is more than 20% pages of ads, I won't buy it. http://www.birdsandblooms.com/
