Got issues???

Because clearly I do!!! Magazine issues, that is (though I know there are a few of you out there thinking, "Oh yeah, she's got issues!"). But, yeah, I have a little magazine addiction. Oh, ok, a BIG one!!! It is not enough that I subscribe to, uh, quite a few magazines (I take the Fifth on giving the actual number), but I cannot leave a bookstore or grocery store or craft store without buying at least one magazine. I do read them all, though. It may take a while, and some of them in the pile above are a month or so old, but I do read them all....cover to cover. 

I just love to read. Even as a child I always had a book in my hands, or so it seemed. Unfortunately as I have gotten older I am not reading as many books as I once did, and it is not that I don't want to, it is just that I can't get myself to focus long enough. Or if I do start one I am the type that usually can't put it down, then I neglect other things I need to do. Magazines just don't require that much commitment! And with magazines, in addition to the written word that I love so much, they are also pure eye candy.

My favorite magazines focus on the things I love the most: papercrafts like scrapbooking, altered arts, and mixed media, decorating, home and hearth, recipes, fabric, other crafts like beading and polymer clay, and of course, holidays. I never tire of reading these....so yeah, it looks like I will always have issues! In future posts I will write more about my addiction to magazines and go more in-depth about some of my favorites.
