I may not clean or organize like Martha's staff, but I sure love the ideas in the magazine. The photography is wonderful and the layout is great and easy to follow. The ads don't get in the way of the articles like most magazines. The recipe ideas are what I love because I collect recipes and love to cook and bake. One reservation, however is because I don't use any alcohol so I wish the recipes didn't almost all have alcohol in them, but they're fun to try anyway with substitutes.

Love the recipes, love everything inside. I'm a foodie and this magazine is a monthly food for my soul. :)

Rating: - The best presentation
I love the look of this magazine. -Such high quality. The overwhelming amounts of advertisements can be a bit much though. The photography and style is fantastic. They some how make everything from vases to flowers to all foods look compelling and beautiful.

Long time MSL subscriber. I get out my dec, dec/jan issues every holiday season to see what works for ornaments and decorations and such. I loved the cookie issue last year, definite keeper. Her projects involve time and materials, but you end up with something that will last, and instructions are generally very clear. I've seen that since her trial/jail, the high end advertisors have almost entirely backed out, which means adds for average joes, like me. I really appreciate the depth that the mag goes into a certain subject, even if its not a particular fave of mine.
I haven't really watched the Martha show much, I really enjoyed the original MSL show she started with. Sometimes I get annoyed that the materials seem very exclusive to New York and similiar, but c'est la vie.
