Now to my not quite a rant, really more of a "was this really necessary" topic.
I just received my new copy of Just Cross Stitch magazine. Now, before I begin, let me say that I really enjoy this magazine. It has a lot of projects that I would love to do once I finish the hundred or so that are already waiting in line. I was flipping through it when right in the center, in fact, right between two pages of a pattern is a clothing catalogue. Not just an ad, but an actual catalogue stapled into the magazine.
I have to admit, part of me wants to say, "Okay, publication costs are probably rising and this is the price for keeping a magazine I enjoy in business." Then there's the other part that says, "You put a @#!#& clothing catalogue in the middle of my cross stitch magazine!"
Just curious as to how any others of you that get the actual paper copy of this magazine feel about it.
Personally, I pulled it out, mashed the staples back in place and threw the entire catalogue into the recycling bin. My cross stitch magazine is once again a cross stitch magazine and not an outlet mall.
Hope everyone has a great stitching weekend!
