We have some delicious recipes for you to try, interesting articles to read and some fabulous craft ideas for you to create.
Because we are an advertising free publication, we rely on subscriptions and the sale of individual copies. We offer both printed and PDF versions, so if you are interested, please visit our website at www.365being.com to purchase.

Coming soon! Really.
I deserve to celebrate. I worked my fingers nearly to the bone, after all...
Okay, not really. That's just how my hands looked after I finished dying a skirt. Directions for that project are in this issue, too. Including a reminder to use the gloves that come with the dye.
Now, you'll know it's the spring issue because we have sheep...
and rabbits...
Betcha never heard of Irish rabbit! We made it up for the spring issue, and it is soooooo good! And easy. Easier than easy, since we had this issue spiral bound to lay flat while you follow our recipes or project directions. We think you'll really like that. Oh, and Irish rabbit is meatless, in case you were worried about the possible disappearance of the Easter Bunny.
This issue is full of stories of creative people doing fun things you might want to try, projects and recipes, decorating ideas, gardening tips, a free giftie from artist Ann Viveros, and so much more! Single issues will be available as always, but you'll save money on a year's subscription.
Happy Spring!

Spring has sprung!
No it hasn't! At least not here in Minnesota where 20 inches of snow is predicted over the next week. Really! 20 inches!
Steve and I like to bring spring into our house in the form of daffodils that we purchase each year during the American Cancer Society's Daffodil fundraiser:

It is a great way to help raise money for cancer research and to brighten your life a little while we are waiting for our flowers to awaken from their winter slumber. I also like the miracle of watching a stem that looks like a green onion bloom into a beautiful flower. Amazing.
This week Steve created the cutest dish garden.
Isn't it just so cute? I love the little garden gnome.
You know what I got a peak at today? The Spring Issue of 365Being! Yes, it is wonderful and has so many fabulous articles. You just have to see for yourself, so if you don't subscribe, maybe you should! It will definitely brighten your day!!!
Thanks for checking in and reading the blog. I wish for you a wonderful day!!

Dawn-Marie, Snowstorms & A Pink Stewardess Outfit
As I blog this, a major snowstorm is on its way to Minnesota and Dawn-Marie is feverishly finishing up the Spring Issue of 365Being. She has done an amazing job on the past two issues and I so look forward to seeing the latest one. Yes, I too get to enjoy the "surprise" of what the next issue looks like when I first see a proof from Wagner Press and Graphics. Dawn-Marie IS the creativity of 365Being. There is no doubt about that. She creates all the layouts of the magazine and does such an amazing job. I help come up with story ideas, write a few articles, balance the checkbook, taste test her recipes, investigate events and keep track of the weather. Keep track of the weather???? I know that DM gets busy and doesn't always have time to catch the news or weather, so I keep her abreast of things. I just hung up from talking to her about this latest snowstorm and she thanked me because she has been so involved in getting this issue done, that she hadn't taken the time to listen to the weather.
I am really excited about this latest issue because there is an article by Barb Gates-Schaben about buying vintage items. I LOVE vintage stuff. So does our web designer, Shannon. She recently made a pink stewardess outfit from a vintage pattern.
Here she is all pretty in pink.
You can read about her project on her blog:

Wishing all of you a wonderful day!!!
