Oh Canada...this was very freeing for me when I did this, too. After 3 months I don't miss them. I left them at the local 2nd hand store...they have a 20 x 40 room dedicated to books and periodicals for sale at a greatly reduced price...books usually 50 cents, magazines 25 cents.. The magazines are craft/cooking related. Some one else will enjoy them. I had magazines from the early 90's, patterns don't change much, but fabric choices do.

I participate in the monthly secret pal swap here on this board occasionally. I don't mind receiving used or older magazines, but I can see where they can become quite....well.....abundant
With so much being available online, I bet you could get rid of them and not be too worried about not finding "it" again somewhere online.
what about making a binder, and taking out only those parts that you want? Give the rest away? Although it might hurt to cut into a magazine. I know I feel that way sometimes, but then, being down to one binder instead of piles and piles of mags is a kind of nice way to go, too

That’s a good suggestion about making a binder and I may end up doing that with some of the remaining 6 dozen. The ones I purged today will be given away for free on Kijiji - I’ve already had a few people say they would like them.

I just went through a bunch of quilting books and magazines also. I snapped pictures with my phone of the patterns I was interested in doing.
I am either going to donate them to my church youth fundraiser in May or try to sell them as a group and then give the money to the youth.
It was freeing.

I've decided my sewing/office/guest bedroom space has gotten so covered in WIPs and various things that I've never been able to figure out where to store, that I'm taking a couple of big boxes and gonna fill them up and just stick them in the hallway until I can figure out a better way to deal with WIPs...
