...Folded...

I just "heard" word that the Martha Stewart publication Blueprint Magazine will no longer be in print come the New Year.  The Jan/Feb 2008 issue will be their last!  They will however continue to update the Bluelines blog, and it seems that they have decided to include Blueprint-worthy content into their future MS Weddings publication, so all is not lost!
More information can be found here.

In all honesty, I have to say that while disapointed (I am a subscriber)... I'm also not at all surprised.  It was a beautiful magazine... most notable for it's lovely photographs, user friendly crafts, and font eye-candy; but all in all it was not exactly what I had hoped for.
Now if anyone in Martha's camp is reading this... PLEASE I emplore you... bring back "Kids!"  I miss its absense every month, event, and holiday.  So many wonderful ideas and endless inspirations were found within it's pages!  Please, pretty pretty please!

I"m bummed too. Even though I just subscribed, I've been buying the mag off the shelves. I wonder if they will just refund my subscription or send me some crap magazine I don't want. Like when Budget Living folded and I got Good Housekeeping instead. DO. NOT. WANT!

I"m begging for Kids back too. And Baby!

I'm with you on this one. I can't say I'm surprised. Hey, MSLO! Bring back KIDS!!

[joleen]

Yes, Kids and Baby.. loved them!

Oh no! I had just decided to subscribe to this magazine. Rats.

[Storme]

I saved every MS Baby mag and still use them (and they seem to, too) all the time. Kids used a lot of content from Baby, but I bought all of those, too. I am so sad to be losing my prim sister. Just too soon after losing my design mentor, H&G mag. Boo Hoo.

BTW, I wouldn't worry too much about the BL/GH switcharoo. It seems that these days they just quietly go away. I had the same sub for BL and wrote H&G the minute they folded. Haven't heard a word...have a feeling the same will occur with Martha, unless they need to unload extra issues of Body + Soul (a mag I also don't want).
