That said, I haven't been able to part with my stash of Digital Scrapbooking magazines.

Then I moved onto Company, Cosmo and Vogue along with any foreign fashion mag I could get my hands on! Over the years, I have collected hundreds and hundreds of them and when I have to start lugging those boxes from place to place and country to country it gets a bit ridiculous! So I got rid of LOADS! (though I held onto a few!) These days, I have my collection of Nat Geog., my Creating Keepsakes, my old Simple Scrapbooks and The Scrapbook Magazine. I don't read any real mags any more so I just. stopped. buying. them! It was a real aha moment! I'm pretty much over them! (although I do admit to loving a guilty sneak at the gossip mags at the hairdressers or even my mum's!)
