Hello my name is Candice and I have a magazine addiction! I seriously can't stop! At last count I was up to 16 a month and since then I think I have added at least 5 more, not counting my new obsession with international design magazines that I grab at the newsstand near my office. I used to keep the magazines, ear marking the pages that I was interested in but that quickly became a major storage issue, so now I have binders. It started with one binder that had everything in it, recipes, design ideas, hair and makeup tips, etc. I'm now up to 6 binders and counting. We're not talking about the tiny 1 inch binders either, these are the BIG ones, the ones offices use for holding reports and accounting ledgers and stuff!
So, every month I tear out the pages I want to keep from each magazine and begin the process of clipping, and taping, and hole punching. This has turned into quite a process since I have so many to go through! I love going through my binders, they are such a great resource and source of inspiration for me. Some people have inspiration boards in their studios or work spaces, I have entire binders full of inspiration! Mike has even joined in and now clips things from his magazines to put into his own binders (I don't share!)

You look very organized for a magazine collector. I never dreamed of a bider. I was always using flimsy folders which were terribly frustrating when looking for something. Great idea!
It is infectious!! I am trying to start mine but cant seem to find the time to get them in the binders...I have a folder full of pages though : )
This is an EXCELLENT idea! We have a ton of binders at work that people are throwing away, I may take a few. Maybe if the Etsy team has another swap I'll bring some for you. :)
I used to do that but it became way too time consuming. I now keep all of my reference in a little storage bin with drawers. Like the kind you get at Staples. It has six drawers in it. It doesn't look as pretty but saves so much time and space! I would love to have some binders like yours though. Just need to get someone to make them for me : )
