I also took another’a advice and went to the magazine’s website. I got two full years for 19.99 and I got a full year subscription to Better Homes and Garden (their sister publication) for only $5.

|Love this Mag!!,
So many great ideas! I can’t wait till the next issue arrives. Ranges from very simple to labor intense but always projects that most can do.

|AWESOME!,
This is my favorite magazine and the only one that I will subscribe to again and again. It has wonderful projects that are reasonably inexpensive. The pictures are colorful and beautiful. In one section, they’ll take something (for instance, a plain coffee table) and do it three different ways to give you some options on how you would like to do it to fit into your decor. I haven’t found a project yet that I wouldn’t want to do in this magazine.
The downside is that it only comes bi-monthly. I would sure love to see it in my mailbox every month, or even every other week for that matter!
Browse through it in the magazine section……….you will love it!

|Its size is a problem,
I bought this book for my grandmother after carefully reviewing several other autobiographical writing aides. I have to admit I was disappointed when I received the book. The questions are good, but the book itself is very small. If I’d noticed the dimensions of the book that are listed near its photo, I might not have purchased it. Each of the 201 questions gets one side of one page for answering, and the pages are roughly 5×8″. It is almost impossible to imagine that the kind of rich, detail-laden anecdotes we hope for (and that we want to pass on for generations) when we give this as a gift could fit in the space provided. Though not ideal, I ended up buying a small notebook for my grandmother, along with the book, that she can continue her answers in.

|This book is monumental…it’s a novel waiting to happen!,
I gave this book to my grandmother with a note that said “I bought this book for you because I want the generations of our bloodline to come to know that you were a wonderful, generous woman, who knew how to live life to it’s fullest.” She loved both the book and the note so much she cried! She also went out and bought a few more to give to aother family members as gifts. She wrote in it and gave it to me, and I drank up every word she wrote. I learned about her trials and tribulations, I learned about family members I never had the pleasure of knowing…but got to know well throughout this book. It gave me an idea about where I came from, and I even noticed some similarities in personality and interests with my grandmother. This is a wonderful book for any occasion. Definitly 2 thumbs up!

|In Desperate Need of an Update,
Advantages: This autobiographic journal is affordable and omits uncouth, private questions that have dissuaded me from purchasing other journals. For example, one’s sex life is not addressed in this book, but is included in another life journal, “All About Me.” “The Book of Myself” makes a great gift for grandparents, parents, & older relatives or friends.
Disadvantages: Tailored more for older folks. For instance, the book solicits responses to “my memories of World War II, “inquires how Pearl Harbor shaped a person’s life, your whereabouts during JFK’s assassination & the 1st moon landing.
