Magazines Everywhere!

I don't know about you but I tend to keep things for a LONG time. Vincent recently asked (or told) me to get rid of the growing stack [mountain] of magazines in the closet. I've been keeping them, Martha Stewart & Real Simple, because there are lots of great ideas, recipes, projects... that I MUST do [someday].

So finally last week I started, I pulled out all of the Martha Stewart magazines, I looked through each one, pulling out every good recipe, great flower arrangement and entertaining idea I came across (I did have to keep to issues that were just so jam packed there was no reason to pull pages out). When all was said and done I had two stacks, 1. recipes and 2. projects/inspiration, both stacks about as thick as one magazine (much better than my very LARGE stack). Did I mention I had issues as far back as 2001 :)

Now I have a file folder full of great craft ideas [I am going to learn how to knit], entertaining ideas [I have Stella's birthday theme all ready], and decorating ideas all in one place all neatly organized. I think I will have to get some clear page covers and put them all neatly into a binder or something :) Just thinking about it makes me happy.

So next I will have to tackle the Real Simple magazines... which seems much more daunting than the M.S., sorry Martha but Real Simple seems to have more great ideas, tips etc.... so maybe I'll see if I can [hide] put those aside for a little while :) I have plenty of great material to work with already!

As I work on projects I will post :)
