That's right ladies and gentlemen I have cut up magazines and tossed the remains. The remains were tossed in the recycle so I'm saving face in that regards. With bringing my mothers treasures home I have run out of room in my little abode. So rather than throwing out my husband and children, (although the thought did cross my mind) I committed the selfless act of throwing out something dear to me. Yes, I'm ashamed to admit I am magazine junkie. An addiction I'm working really hard to control. I will sometime stand in the longest line at the store, just so I can flip through the pages of said culprit. I have also been know to go to Barnes and Noble and sit for hours in one of their comfy chairs and read stacks of magazines. Just so I can get my fix of the latest copy of what I used to buy. How do I feel now that I have torn and tossed these beauties. LIBERATED!!!!!!!!!! Now don't get me wrong I have not gone completely out of my mind. It will have to be a cold day in hell before I toss my Home Companion or Somerset's. So I challenge you all to join me in the cleansing process.
Best wishes.

You go, girl! Remember, I already beat you to it so I can't accept your challenge. AND, I did cut up ALL of my mags. I'm proud of you though.
I would love to follow in your footsteps and free up, not only space wise, but weight wise too. (I just moved this month) Those magazines are HEAVY! You are inspiring I tell ya.
I have started to rip out pages I like and then throw the magazine out. The only problem is that I have piles of ripped up mag pages in lots of different spots!
What do you suggest with the hubby, he's the magazine horder in the family...I only horde Somersets..and books..
Oh, I hope my hubby doesn't see this. He's always bugging me to declutter magazines. I JUST CAN'T DO IT!
I purge magazines once a month -- when the house cleaners are coming. Some go to the mag pile at the health club (and quickly disappear), some go to Merchants Square for resale at a drastically reduced price, the cut up ones go to the trash. It all helps clean out the stacks and piles of mags. However, like you, I don't throw out any of the Stampington publications!! I still hoard those!
Hello, my name is Charlene and I'm a magazine-aholic. If I hadn't learned how to purge them (after taking the clippings, of course) I would be drowning in them. I'm sure they would be waist deep in my house by now! I keep one large basket for magazines, and when it get full, I purge to make room for the new ones. Of course, Somerset are excluded from the purging!
Yeah! The purging of the pages! That's what I do with all my catalogs...cut out the images I want to redesign and then: hApPy tossing! It's really cut down on the shopping too, because I'm looking with completely different eyes.
