Getting ready for a recent trip to our nation's capital I decided to pick out a magazine for the plane trip -- one of my most favorite things to do. I instantly bought Real Simple. I was lured by the beautiful cover (image left) and had momentarily forgotten how much the last issue disappointed me. As you can see I'm easily distracted. I read it with trepidation.But you know what? It didn't suck! It's like the editorial staff actually read my post! (They totally didn't -- but how cool would that have been?) Inside I found a bunch of gift ideas for the men in my family and found a bunch of cool craft ideas for things I could make myself rather than pay a lot of money for! I love when that happens.
So it was a good purchase. I dog-eared a bunch of pages and I am ready to set out on some new craft projects with glee. Thanks guys!

This post made me laugh because I was once in love with Real Simple, but I have been so disappointed with the magazine in recent months. Some of the stories--think 29 creative uses for a toothpick (okay, I made that up)--are ridiculous. Anyway, after reading this post, I will pick up the latest issue and give the magazine another chance!
lend it to your sister, would ya?
