The April Issue
The April issue is appearing on newsstands and arriving in subscriber mailboxes and I must say I really love the cover! It is a bit reminiscent of the April, 2013, cover but it is nonetheless a very attractive looking photograph. Inside there is the promise of Easter ideas (crafts, cooking, entertaining) as well as a clutter-clearing strategy just in time for spring cleaning. I've always enjoyed the spring issues for their approach to homekeeping; that fling-open-the-windows-and-start-decluttering approach. I haven't seen the issue yet, myself, but I'm looking forward to receiving it soon. (Note: the newsstand cover features a solid blue background vs. the patterned background shown on the cover below, which is the subscriber version.)

My issues use to arrive well before they it hit news stands. Now my issues always come a few weeks after. Is this because of the new publishing contract or just a fluke?
I believe it is because of the change in publisher. And you're definitely not alone. Mine only came on Monday, about two weeks after I first saw it on the newsstand. Seems odd that subscribers don't get it in advance the way they used to under MSLO.
I'm ok with when I receive it, I'm more concerned about the decline in the quality of the content, layout and photography. :(
I agree with Jamie (above) ..........the contact of the April issue could be any monthly "life style" magazine. Even one of my favorite items , the photography was lacluster!

The benefit of being a subscriber used to be that you got an early start on a must have item or buying supplies for that new project before stuff became harder to find. Of course, there are not as many projects anymore. I do feel that the subscriber is the magazine's base and should be treated a little better than those that may or may not by an issue each month off the newsstand. Also it gave folks like Andrew advance knowledge to share and gin up excitement about for those that buy off the newsstand. Apparently I'm just not in tune with their business model anymore.
