I’m going to let you in on a little secret. A new find.

Artful Blogging Magazine.

Oh. My.

It’s like an eye candy festival of blogs. Blogs of people who do art and crafts. All photographed so cleverly as to make you drool. Honest. Or photography blogs where the bloggers use photography to tell a story. Or blogs just like ours. Real live bloggers who share themselves and their art. Whatever their art might be.

Page after page of lust worthy photos and brilliantly written words. Their tag line on their magazine? Visually Inspiring Online Journals.

There are just so many creative people out there with very creative blogs!

I browse the magazine, then go browse the actual website.

I linger over the articles…and find some wonderful new sites.

The magazine is big and has wonderful thick pages. It’s glossy and colorful. The words the bloggers write are inspiring.

The art ranges from photography to papercrafts to drawings to cards to quilts to embellished clothes and back to photography. And everything in between. Really. Go pick up this magazine and see if you can walk away without buying it. They include partial posts from the bloggers, many of them writing about what blogging has meant to them and changed their lives. In the back they have a column where they show blog banners they love. Some really creative banners/headers are shown there.

The magazine is published quarterly by Somerset Studios. It’s $14.99 and worth every darn penny. I’ve found mine at Borders or Barnes and Noble. Or you can order it online here. No, I didn’t get paid to write this review. I just wanted to share my wonderful find with you, my blogging buddies. Pick one up. Sit back immerse yourself in a gloriously inspiring journey spotlighting some talented bloggers. And I thought decorating magazines were addictive… Have any of you seen this magazine?

Remember when I wrote about The Face in the Mirror? Who was that woman I saw staring back at me in the mirror?

Well, I was looking through some old photos…trying to write a post on how I still own some clothes that I’ve had forever. And still wear them! Well, as usual I got sidetracked. I came across this photo from my high school senior prom. Who WAS this girl? So young. Great curly hair that she worked so hard to straighten because straight hair was “in.”

I made that dress by the way. It was awesome. A shear layer of white with tiny yellow roses over a white taffeta type under layer. Backless with just that sheer capey thing covering the back. Yellow roses from my high school sweetheart for a bouquet. I still LOVE yellow roses. Always have. The dress had miles of a tiny rolled hem. I loved that dress.

I was quite the seamstress in my younger years. Made blazers, a winter coat!, dresses. Now I only sew to repair things. If that. I used to quilt, but I haven’t made a quilt in like 10 years. So how about you? Did you have a hobby you enjoyed when you were younger, but just never do it anymore? You know, I bet I’d really love making another quilt…

(this post was brought to you by my totally rambling thoughts…)

EDITED TO ADD: I TOLD you guys I was losing it!!! I forgot to put in the picture!! I added it now. Sigh. Thanks for the heads up Mental Mama!!
