special Blueprint deal for HWTM readers!
categories: decorating ideas, holiday party ideasI’m so excited to tell you about this special deal for HWTM readers – because it comes from one of my very favorite magazines – Blueprint – and if you like the style of products & ideas we showcase here, then I can pretty much guarantee this magazine will be right up your alley too!
Blueprint is the newest publication from Martha Stewart Living (only about a year old) and it has a fresh, modern style geared towards the early 20 to late 40’s crowd. You’ll find everything from fashion & beauty tips to home decorating ideas and – of course – tons of cool entertaining tips 
And by clicking here or on any of the images in this post, you’ll be taken to a special page HWTM page where you can sign up for a subscription for only $10/year – which is 52% off the newstand price! {side note: Blueprint is a bi-monthly magazine, so that comes out to roughly $1.65/issue…not too shabby!}
To give you a more detailed glimpse of what the magazine’s all about, the following are some of my favorite highlights from the current November/December issue…(you might notice the main headline on the cover is MODERN Holidays…hooray!)
holiday recipes & gift guides for everyone from best friends to husbands to tots …
super creative gift wrapping ideas…
Chic Thanksgiving tablescapes and recipes…
{bonus: click here to download the printable template for the pretty place-cards pictured below!}
“Glow and Behold” – a whimisical, modern take on holiday decorating (which can easily be recreated with any color scheme…silver, blue & lime green would be gorgeous too!
And, of course – party fashion & beauty tips…because decorating yourself for those holiday parties is important too!
Another thing I love about Blueprint is that every issue has a special little pull-out “Handbook” featuring one particular shopping, decorating, or entertaining theme. This month’s handbook is a “Guide to Setting the Table” – and one of my very favorites from past issues was “The Essential Home Bar Guide” {pictured left}.
Anyways, hope you enjoyed this special peek into the magazine…happy reading!

This really sucks… I wanted to buy, but rates are only valid in the States, why can’t they be friendly to their neighbours… Canada is not soo far away. I am sad … and this is my sad face

oh, no! I’m sorry about that Kelly
Oct 31, 2007 at 7:15 pm wish there was something I could do! -
This was perfect timing. I keep meaning to subscribe, but I only seem to remember when the new issue is about to come out and I don’t want to miss out by waiting on a subscription. Now I’ve got 2008 covered, without having to run to the bookstore.

Thank you. -
did anyone actually successfully subscribe using this page? because when I tried (twice) it kept on just coming back to the same page. I emailed customer service too and did not get their promised 2 business day email back… help!

Hi Cass –
I’m so sorry you’ve been having trouble signing up for the subscription! There have been successful sign-ups through that page, but I passed your comment on to my contact at Blueprint so they could look into it and make sure something in the programming code didn’t get messed up recently – and so they could at least be on the lookout for your customer service email Please let me know if this gets resolved!thanks,

Hi again – here’s some feedback from Blueprint…

Hi Jenn -
I just placed an order with no problem. The only think I can think of is it will send you back to the order page if there is any information missing, or if they did not supply an email address, yet that check box is checked.Please have her try this maybe?

thanks for trying!

I tried again (several times) and every box is filled correctly. And I’ve sent yet another email to them with no response. so frustrating, but certainly not your fault. I appreciate your help anyway, I guess I’m giving up.
thanks! -
such a bummer, Cass! last thing I can think of is to try a different browser (maybe Firefox instead of IE, for example)…but other than that I’m out of ideas too
