The latest issue of Vanity Fair arrived at my house today, which got me wondering … what do you all do with magazines when you’re done with them?

I’m a hoarder. I love magazines. I store them chronologically in my living room and craft room and constantly go back to them for inspiration. A couple weeks ago, I pulled out all my December issues (of Martha Stewart Living, Domino, Cottage Living, etc.) and put them out on display. I’d like to think this keeps me from buying more magazines, but it doesn’t. I can’t help myself.

My sister loves magazines, too. Instead of being in a book club, she and her friends meet once a month to swap trashy magazines. They pass around the People and US Weekly and read the really juicy parts out loud to each other.

So what do you do? Use them in scrapbooking? Arts and crafts activities with your kids? Pass them on to friends? We can’t swap magazines over the blogosphere, but we can swap ideas.
