Those wonderful illustrative step by step and ingredient pictures were classic MS Living, and to only see the final result without any clue as to what the ingredients look like... well... that’s not very martha. I wanted to make that cute puppy as an art mural for my daughter’s nursery but there is no way in heck i would know what kind of ‘paper bowl’ or ‘poster board’ to use. They may as well have used a store-bought prop. Boo! <br /><br />I do love gentl & hyers though...Mayahttp://instagram.com/bazekalimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23768882.post-17273967796650626982020-10-01T12:28:03.555-05:002020-10-01T12:28:03.555-05:00Sorry to hear it Nick!

I'm not personally a huge Halloween junkie - I watch a scary movie, eat some candy corn and call it a night. But I know other Martha fans go ALL out (no matter what) and want that inspiration. What I do miss, wholeheartedly, are the special Halloween issues. They are treasures to me and I'd love to see another one - with Martha dressed up on the cover. I am sure next year Halloween will be back in the saddle at MSL. I really do think they purposely downplayed it this year because of the pandemic.

As soon as I opened it up, I exclaimed "October! The Halloween issue! Yes!" and flipped through it eagerly like someone had hidden a hundred dollar bill inside. I was looking for that special section devoted to the most fun day of the year and found...nada, zilch, nothing. No ideas for carving pumpkins, no black and white party theme, no monster craft projects, no fun severed finger foods. I was utterly disappointed. There was one page in Good Things devoted to children's costumes, but that was it. I get your point about Halloween looking different this year for Trick or Treaters, but that doesn't mean the inside (or outside) of our homes have to look any different. I've already started decorating my house for Halloween and was looking for some inspiration in the pages of Martha Stewart Living and found absolutely none. I'm glad you liked it, Andrew, but I was quite let down.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15871661800923489888noreply@blogger.com
