If the issues has a lot of articles or patterns I like, I tag them with a post-a-note and keep them. Otherwise, I tear out the article and put it in a plastic sleeve in a notebook. As a matter of fact, I just added more last evening and enjoyed looking through all the old ones. Then I throw out the torn up magazine. I hate to, but after watching a few episodes of "Hoarders", I try to get rid of stuff that's just taking up space.
