My Mother made a suggestion when I was visiting her as she hates to see clutter. She knows I have a lot of magazines all over my house...Mainly scrapbook magazines. She told me to rip out the pages that have articles or layouts I like, then put them in 8.5x11 sheet protectors. Store the sheet protectors in binders and you can add dividers in between the different subjects. With my scrapbook magazines it is mainly layouts and cards and I can organize these by winter, Christmas, Spring, Valentines, Easter, Summer, Family, etc....I started doing it last week and love it. I'm cleaning up the magazines and have a neat orderly binder I can look at for ideas. If the magazine article is more than one page I can store them all together in the sheet protector and they don't get lost or mangled....I've also started a binder for recipes from magazines too!!
Our local library has a bin for used Magazines where people can take them if they want them. So I plan on putting my Scrapbook magazines in there for someone else to enjoy. There may be a few pages missing but still lots of ideas for someone else to check out.
Thanks Mom for the idea, I love it and have been passing it around too and everyone thinks it's a good idea. No cutting or messy glue to deal with and bye bye to Magazine clutter!! YEA!!
