Anybody see the Martha Stewart Halloween section at Michaels?
Its ok, some cool stuff but most stuff you could do on your own.
Anybody else LOVE the MS Halloween Magazines that she comes out with?
I LOVE THEM!!! And I'm not afraid to admit it.
I Heart Martha's Halloween mags. (I don't like her.) but I love her mags!
Just wondering if I was the only one.:jol:

I drooled all over my copy from last year, but didn't get a chance to make a couple of the props that I liked....I was gonna make the candy swirling up out of the bowl on a table that looks like it is levitating off the ground.......I hope to try it this year! The bad thing is, when I went to her site, hoping to find better detailed instructions, there really weren't any.....really ticked me off.......

Yeah, one thing about Martha is that she expects all people to have all these fancy cutters and ingredients. Haha.
Looking forward to this years copy. She didnt do one when she was in jail...I thought she would have, just darker lol.
I hope she does the 'Holiday' issue, not just 'Living'.
I actually bought her Halloween DVD.

I scored a butt-load of MS magazines at a garage sale a couple months ago.
They were kinda old but new to me. I bought all of them for $1.50. There were 3 Halloween issues, which is what I wanted them for. I liked them a lot. There were some good ideas in them.

I saw Marthas stuff at Michael's too. The glitter packs were $15?!?!?! WTF?! In that respect the woman bugs the ever livin' crap out of me, but I have her Halloween book ($3 used thanks) and a couple of the Halloween mags, 'cause #1 she has some good base ideas to build from and #2 the photography is just gorgeous.

The Halloween wreath I made last year was based on one of her ideas, but tweeked a little to better fit me. I think this year I'm gonna do her marshmallow ghosties as cupcake toppers and make some ghourd candles-- which will give my parents loads to tease me about.

And yes, I admit, I've already caught myself looking out for this years Halloween issue.

I swore up and down to people that I would never, ever, be caught dead reading anything Martha Stewart, but then a while back I saw a cover of a magazine with a silhouette of a witch holding a lantern, and I thought to myself "well that looks cool", then I realized it was a MS Living magazine. Alright, alright, so I bought it. Great ideas in them. So yea, I can't wait for this year's issue to come out. Bad Bad me. LOL

I like a lot of Martha's Halloween ideas.

The silhouette that you are talking about is exactly what gave me the idea for my display. I used her witch and cats and expanded on it with another witch, old fashioned beacons, etc. Closer to Halloween, I have carved JOL's flanking the door, fog, music and mini pumpkins carved with eyes only hanging on shepherd's hooks.

This year, we're adding more tombstones, a haunted house maybe a tree and I'm going redo my cauldron.

Here are pics last year by day and night.... we had several people take pictures of their kids tot'ing with the display in the background and even had a woman drive to the house the next day wanting to buy the entire shebang. She even called back last month to see if we would change our mind about selling, LOL

EXACTLY my thoughts!

I loved her Halloween issue, and she is WAY overdue for a new one!

Lets hope this year is the year!

lol
I predict that Martha will become a lot darker...something happened to her in jail...
Shes always been a witch, but I think she just discovered her true dark side behind those cold steel bars.

Ya know I always hear people bashing MS but I love her! I could care less about her life or politics I just wanna know what she's making next!
I highly doubt that she comes up with these ideas herself. She has a staff of writers and contributors that do all that stuff for her magazine and show. Having said that, I don't care much for the lady, exept that she does like Halloween and through her magazines helps support the Holiday, so I won't bash her.
