I got mine this morning and I agree to me its definitely the best value craft magazine, the papers are beautiful again but the best part was the classiest new mail order catalogue I have ever seen. The quality is superb, pictures in it are exquisite. It a real winner. In case any of you haven't got it. Guess whose it is!!! It could only be from--- Joanna Sheen Sheila

Hi Ann, Magmaker, the company who publish Making Cards and Parchment Craft, are a small family run company, the titles have been going for quite a few years now and are going from strength to strength. Peter and his wife Ros are the owners and together with Liz and Carl the editors, believe that it is the crafts shops that have supported them throughout that time. To start selling to the huge stores would really be detrimental to the very people that helped the business to grow, i.e. the craft shop owners. Also, the huge stores are notoriously difficult to deal with and are a bit of a minefield for small companies. I know that doesn't help you very much, but hopefully it gives you a bit more of an insight into why Peter and Ros have taken the decision not to supply the big stores at this point in time. Hope that helps, and thank you everyone for the lovely comments, very, very much appreciated. Nancy
