A number of years ago, I had to reassess the number of craft subscription magazines/books that I subscribed to or purchased, but I didn’t want to get rid of the magazines that I had already collected. So I began pulling out those craft instruction articles of the crafts that I wanted to do on a “rainy day” and quickly became overwhelmed with all the reference materials.
Then there were the home decor magazines/books. I couldn’t pass Barnes and Noble and magazine display cases in stores such as Walmart and/or Sam’s Club without looking at the latest volume from several magazines. If you love crafts and/or home decor but need some resources, I have compiled the following lists for your perusal. These are not exhaustive by any means but the lists are made available to help get you started with home decorating and/or craft projects.
