Since I'm behind on posting this - I'm going to let this little contest of mine run through the weekend, at the very least.
This past Christmas, my mom got me a subscription to Better Homes and Gardens, after I kept stealing her copies from the house whenever I would visit.
Anyway. I don't know if BH&G has gone through a recent redesign or what, but I've really been enjoying their fresh, more modern approach to decor and home design. I'm always getting lots of great inspiration - and their gardening sections have been really valuable - full of useful tips and ideas. Their spring issue was particularly great:
So I thought I'd share the love a little!
The giveaway details: I received in the mail the other day a 3-1 offer - if I renew my subscription now (early, before it runs up), I can give two free subscriptions to friends. One of them I'm using to return the favor for a friend who signed me up with free subscription, thanks to a similar offer, from ANOTHER magazine. But that other free gift subscription will be up for grabs!
Just leave a comment below and tell me what home or garden task would you like to learn more about (cooking, gardening, decorating, sewing, etc.). Don't forget to include your first name and your e-mail or blog link or some form of contact information. You do not need to provide your last name or mailing address in the comments section. I'll close the contest some time next week, once I have a few entries, then I'll pick a comment at random. After that I'll contact the lucky winner directly to get their address details and fill out the gift subscription card for you. That's it! How easy is that?
So, if a free year of Better Homes and Gardens sounds right up your alley, leave a comment below!
Have a great weekend, everyone!
**The fine print: I am in no-way affiliated with Better Homes and Gardens, their parent company, publisher, marketing or public relations agency, etc. This is not a BHG sponsored contest, I'm just sharing a gift subscription offer that I received in the mail, as part of my own subscription renewal. No endorsement by BHG of this giveaway should be inferred.**
I desperately need help with my kitchen! It needs a mini-makeover, that has been shelved due to lack of inspiration and well time.
What a great idea to share free subscriptions! :)

Such a good idea! I would love to be entered in your giveaway. I am getting married in October and I am really wanting to get better at cooking and baking. We are getting all kinds of great gifts for our kitchen- so now I need help learning what to do with all of it ;)

Although I can ID some basic stuff, I know basically zilch about the finer points of gardening & choosing plants & landscaping, etc. I'm trying very hard to become a sewist (if I ever sat down to actually DO it). I am dying to learn to knit.

I have bought some new paint for my kitchen that I love, but it's been sitting there for 4 months since I can't figure out how to decorate the kitchen now. Maybe some visuals would help!

I need "cleaning the clutter out of my back room to make a lovely office out of it" advice. (Amy)

I don't know if your magazine offer would be allowed for a Cdn reader but I thought I'd tell you I'd love to learn about anything you share. I enjoy it all.

BHG takes me way back! I'd love to learn a little more about herb gardening and of course...I love their recipes.
