Here, in their own words, is what they're all about:

Living Crafts is a community of readers who value the work of their hands, use natural and organic materials, and live an authentically holistic lifestyle.

Living Crafts provides craft enthusiasts with the information, ideas, and inspiration they need to support their desire for self-sufficiency, sustainability and a natural lifestyle. In each issue there are projects for the entire family, including fun crafts for parents and children to do together.

Our readers are people who consciously choose natural materials for their handwork projects because of aesthetics, quality, personal health and the environment. Living Crafts aims to inform and inspire readers to choose Mother Nature’s supplies whether they create their own or buy ready-made handwork.

Each issue focuses on a season of the year, bringing ideas and the how-to for projects that are in harmony with nature to create a seasonal rhythm at home. Editorial content includes projects making toys, apparel, home items, gifts, and seasonal crafts.

For this week's giveaway they are offering a full TWO years of the publication, full of projects for every season.  Two years of lovely, crafty goodness!  And don't forget about the free issue code; maybe you know someone who this would be a perfect gift for... or maybe it would be a perfect gift for you! 

As usual you can leave a comment to enter and gain additional entries for facebook posts, first time blogroll adds, tweets, first time button adds, blog posts, you know the drill:)  Make sure you leave a separate comment for EACH entry!  I'll announce the winner on Friday.  Good luck!
