Many of us have carefully cultivated collections of our favorite beading magazines, but with so many issues to choose from, we can’t always have every project at our finger tips. At least, until now. If you have a smart phone or eReader,
chances are you’re already taking advantage of digital magazines, and the convenience of instant project downloads from your favorite publishers. If not, now is your chance to give it a try!
The world’s largest digital newsstand, Zinio, is having a sweepstakes giveaway for an iPad mini, to help connect avid readers with their favorite digital books and magazines. Everyone who enters will receive $5 to spend on a subscription of their choice, plus access to half price subscriptions. To celebrate, Zinio has also offered a handful of free magazine subscriptions to Inspirational Beading readers!

For your chance to win a free digital magazine subscription from Zinio, simply head over to the Zinio newsstand and check out their selection of over 5500 publications. Then, head back here to Inspirational Beading and leave a comment on this post, letting us know which magazine you would choose.
Comments must be made here on Inspirational Beading to qualify - you do not need to have an account to comment, but please make sure that you include a contact method if you do not have a Blogger account with email contact enabled.
Nine lucky readers will be drawn at random on Saturday, December 1st. The free subscription giveaway is open to all international readers! Readers from Canada and the US can also enter the iPad Mini giveaway on Facebook (also ending December 1st). You do not need an eReader or tablet
to enjoy this giveaway - your subscription can be viewed on most devices, including your home computer.Good luck!

I would choose Beadwork because I love stitching and am always looking for ideas.
ReplyDeleteso many choices! Bead and Button is always a fave, but Bead Style has pretty pictures... or I could go with something like Australian Beading that I can't get locally....
ReplyDeleteAs a new beader, without a doubt - the Favorite Bead Stitches edition of Beadwork!
ReplyDeletebeadwork every time, or.... maybe Favorite Bead Stitches, um... what about Peyote Stitch projects, of course there's always Best of Step by Step Beads,
ReplyDeleteI don't know that I am a beader but I do like wire jewelry and use beads in that way. Step by step wire magazine surely piqued my interest.
ReplyDeleteBeadwork or Favorite Bead Stitches --definitely.

Probably Beadwork - that seems to be the one I get the most often.
ReplyDeleteI think I would get BeadStyle since I already have subscriptions to BeadWork and Bead and Button. I also would love the special edition magazines and anything about crochet! And... Almost any of the many listed.

Hi I jsut started doing bead stitching ;) I could really use some help so I choose Favorite Bead Stitches :) Thank you so much...tonya_ _@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI would have a hard time choosing between Bead and Button and Beadwork; they both have fabulous projects. And I second the person who said going with something you cant get electronically like Australian Beading would be a neat idea.
ReplyDeleteknunez57@yahoo.com
I would choose Australian Beading, as I have never read this magazine before, and I would enjoy seeing the Australian point of view on beading
ReplyDeleteI would choose Bead and Button and Bead Style. I love both of them!
ReplyDeleteThank you,

My goodness, there are sooooo many to choose from, I love the digital photography and beading ones, but the one that grabbed me is Step by step wire magazine.
ReplyDeletethanks for the chance to win.
Sue : )
I love magazines so the choice is not easy. I already have Bead and Button and Beadwork so I think I would try Australian Beading.
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo! This sounds great. As much as I like Bead and Button I would have to choose Step by Step Wire. I love wire working.
ReplyDeleteThank you for offering this giveaway!

I would choose Beadwork! It had such fabulous projects to try. Loved the necklace on the front and would like to attempt it. I can't always afford to buy the books I would like to have to learn new techniques, so I would love to win this!
ReplyDeleteI was torn between Beadwork (which I subscribe to) and Australian Beading. I love that Bead & Button lets you add the digital version for $6.00 more when you renew that subscription & I wish Beadwork did too. In the end, I'm going with Australian Beading. There are so many wonderful beaders there. I'd love to see more of their work. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSeems I am not the only one who would chose bead and button! But that is the mag which tempts me the most! It is qute expensive in germany as a paper version... and most of the time I am going home without buying it. :)
ReplyDeleteI already have an account with Zinio and I get a wire magazine. I would also like to get a BEAD STITCH magazine!!!
ReplyDeleteMy passion is working with seed beads and currently I subscribe to Bead & Button but I picked up the 2012 Collector's Edition of Beadwork and just love it! My pick is Beadwork.
ReplyDeleteThank you,

Beadwork, definitely.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have Beading Stringing. Amazeing giveaway again. Thanks for always sharing.
ReplyDeletewould choose step by step wire as I already subscribe to Bead & Button and Beadwork,which I can't do without. Thanks for the offer
ReplyDeleteBeadwork - Bead & Button - Bead Step by Step were my Staple diet when I lived in NYC.
ReplyDeleteNow that I live in India these mags are equivalent to Luxuries and every time I look at my old collections to find something new to to do!! Hence these days I want them all. Wishful thinking with $ to Rs. conversion.
