I think that needs to come with some sort of caveat - include a note on top of the stack as to why you are freezing your magazines; otherwise, your family will wonder if you have dementia.Hayley Townley, Jack of Many Tradeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17231185116902370208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601323621484767138.post-17017285347315507302008-07-14T06:53:00.000-07:002008-07-14T06:53:00.000-07:00I had three subscriptions for a year, averaged rea...I had three subscriptions for a year, averaged reading one magazine every 6 months. Finally canceled the subscription. Now I just pop online to check out an article on the agazines' websites here and there. But I still have a stack of the magazines, begging for a purpose. Great ideas on what to do with them, thanks!<BR/><BR/> We also canceled the newspaper subscription and get our news online. So much nicer not to have a stack of newspaper too.<BR/><BR/>Great green info as usual!!<BR/><BR/>Did you see my post about making Capri-Sun purses? LOL, I thought of you when I made that discovery at a local craft fair, the crafty and green girl that you are.Margeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703520868047427150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601323621484767138.post-11845700341072572212008-07-12T05:43:00.000-07:002008-07-12T05:43:00.000-07:00that's a great idea Susan... i don't subscribe t...that's a great idea Susan... i don't subscribe to magazines either and i never buy them anymore, like you... i take a quick read while waiting in the checkout counter at the supermarket...<BR/><BR/>each year Telus prints up a very colorful calendar of animals.... parrots, iguanas,tropical fish and so on... when the year is done i cut out all these exotic animals and send them off to my granddaughters... they love them....<BR/><BR/>here is something interesting that you can do to recycle plastic bags.... http://tinyurl.com/2kq2dx <BR/>i thinks it's a novel idea!<BR/><BR/>have a great wknd!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02911301464830358636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601323621484767138.post-1245800494472903242008-07-12T03:05:00.000-07:002008-07-12T03:05:00.000-07:00I don't subscribe to magazines, and I hardly ever ...I don't subscribe to magazines, and I hardly ever buy one. Sometimes I buy used magazines from flea markets, and sometimes I read a magazine in the library.<BR/><BR/>A few days ago I received three paper bags full of old and new magazines from a neighbour of ours (whose son is currently working in a teleselling company and gets free magazines from there). What a treasure! And the timing was perfect: I have a flu and I'm too tired to do much else than lie in my bed and read magazines (or look at the pictures in them). <BR/><BR/>After reading the magazines, I'll pass them on to my friends, my mother, my mother-in-law and so on. I keep the ones with lots of nice pictures, and I'll use them in my crafts projects.<BR/><BR/>The problem with me is that I tend to save too many magazines for crafts - I have piles of them here and there, and I just collect together more of them instead of using the old ones first. So, the lesson I'm trying to learn now is: Use the magazine now or pass it on to someone else. Learning this will help me with the problem of too little storage space.<BR/><BR/>This is Susan's blog and not mine, so I spare you the story of the time I was saving newspapers for future need...Malluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16751117462405941340noreply@blogger.com
