I found the sweetliving magazine earlier today and thought I would share it. I love magazines (esp more craft based ones like this) but subscriptions can be costly. This magazine features some usely crafty moneysaving tips such as making suishi out of cucumber, making preserves and cheap presents from recycled items.
