Magazine Mania

I was going through my magazines, purging old issues, and I realized I love magazines. I love reading information, seeing pleasing design on pages, yes, even advertising pages. There are design ideas everywhere. But can a person have too many magazine subscriptions? Here's our list:

• Muse
• Smithsonian
• The Ensign
• New Era
• Flute Talk
• Reader's Digest
• Simple Scrapbooks
• Creating Keepsakes
• Papercraft
• Memory Makers
  
• Beads
• Scouting
  
• Boy's Life
• National Geographic Kids
• Nickelodeon
  

(Simple and Backpacker recently ran out.)

And those are just the subscriptions. Sometimes I grab a magazine at the store, like Woman's Day, Family Circle, Instyle, Country Home, Scrapbooks, Etc. and Southern Living.

As I was going through and throwing out, I realized we get quite a few catalogs, like:

• Campmor
• Oriental Trading
• Music123
• Woodwind/Brasswind
• Musician's Friend
• ProVantage
• Deseret Book
• Seagull Books
• Emergency Essentials
• Eastbay
• Dell
• Office Depot
• Scrapbook.com

And then there are the Boeing, BYU and UAH things we get in the mail. I know I'm leaving some out. No wonder they can take over my family room and kitchen in the blink of an eye!

It's said that a mailman can tell alot about a family by what type of catalogs and magazines they receive. I wonder what our list says to him?

Probably "cut back on your subscriptions, lady!" No, then he'd be out of a job!
