I don't have too many. My cooking mags I went thru them and pulled out what I wanted and out the door they went. Once I get the rest of my house together the few quilting/embroidery ones that I have I'm scanning into my pc on digital format and out they go. I've started getting Emb mag but only online, this way I can put it on my pc or my color nook and no clutter. You wouldn't believe how many books I got rid of this yr. I had this great idea that one day I wanted to have an office with bookcases and all of my reading books in them. They collect so much dust and even though I have 4 bedrooms, I don't have room for an office. One room has my son, girlfriend and her daughter in it until they can afford it on their own. One (smallest one) I made into a spare room. It used to be my bedroom, then it was a sewing room. The bedroom next to it is a little bigger and also my old bedroom. I decided to make it my sewing room and get a few extra feet of space, very few. Then I have another big bedroom upstairs that was my daughters. When she moved out, I went on Craigslist and furnished it (everything except for the mattress) and it is now my room. Lots of space and event though it's all solid wood and came from several people it all goes together and I got great prices. Even on my new mattress, it was last yr model and then it was damage when they brought it into my house so my 1000 price tag went down to 200. I have a large sunroom that I was going to make into my sewing room but kind of like being able to close it off from the rest of house to minimize dust. So I'm having a small office area in my sunroom and a great relaxing area for when I do my hand embroidery or applique. Once you get into the mind set of de-cluttering it gets addicting too. There were a few mags that I wanted at the quilt show but since they weren't on digital format I didn't get them. I don't want to spend all of my time scanning things into my pc. Good luck and I hope you find something that works good for you. They say once you start getting rid of things it makes you feel good, it's true. Either getting rid of things or just finding a storage system that works for you has the same effect.
