No Gill, I saw that you had written on the Complete Cardmaking post & went through the various features in there so I didn't mean you, honest Don't worry about the beading magazine – if you're not really a beader then you wouldn't know what to look out for. What you did write was helpful though so thank you

It's just that the reviewers that we had were posting shorter & shorter reviews & I didn't want you to base what they were doing on what you had to do. The kind of format that would be the most helpful to us would be something similar to the following:

For instance if I did a review on the latest issue of my mag I'd break it down something like this:

Creative Cardmaking 15:

Cover – what I did/didn't like about the colours the cover cards etc

Free papers – thoughts on the style, designs, quality of paper etc

The Card Expert – any helpful advice that I picked up, how it could be done differently

News – anything in there that caught my eye

Tried & Tested – did you agree/disagree

Craft Store projects – your thoughts on the techniques/products used

It's a man's world – explain what you liked & didn't like

The retirement years – again, explain what you liked etc

Technique of the month/Digital crafting – ditto above

1 product, 6 ideas – ditto

Using your free papers – ditto

You get the idea! Then at the end do a summary of the whole magazine, where you thought it was strong & where it was weak & what has caught your eye on the 'coming next issue' page

If you could do it like this across all the mags then this would be sooooooo helpful to us. Like I said, everyone's new to this so if there are any questions please just ask me
