With three little ones at home I rarely have the time to read or enjoy them. I am too busy parenting to read about parenting! :) It's nice to save the money too! I still receive (and keep!) every issue of Family Fun magazine. I am in the process of pulling the pages I need and want (most of them) and making a binder or file folder, but that will be a WIP project for some time. My hubby gets a cooking magazine and is very good about immediately cutting out recipes and putting in his own binders. I have been cancelling my subsctiptions to magazines over the past few years.

If I pull a recipe out of a magazine I put it in my recipe book, which is a photo album with pockets where you would put photos. I just slip the recipe in to a pocket (cutting it down or rewriting it so it will fit.) I love that it also protects the recipes when we cook. Every once in a while I weed out anything that doesn't float my boat anymore. Oh and the magazines go into the recycling bin the moment I finish reading it.

I had about 30 Cosmo, Vogue and Glamour mags. For years I kept them for reference and all that time I never gave them a single look. I'm glad I smartened up and recycled!

Inspiration binders are fun to flip through later. It's interesting to see what caught your eye and to laugh at some of those "what was I thinking?!" pages. I just started doing this.
