Magazine Love

I have a confession: I'm a magazine hoarder.

I have been for a long time. I also married a magazine hoarder.

But what good comes from hoarding magazines? You'll have lots of options if you ever want to make a MAGAZINE CLIP VALENTINE! And this is what I did when I was dating Todd. We weren't engaged, but we knew we were going to get married. I found this today when I was going through some things and it made me want to make another valentine like it this year. (Though I'm not sure I can top this one!) I thought I'd share this to give you all some ideas if you want to make a super cheap, fun, and thoughtful Valentine card this year for your loved ones.

I put the pages into plastic sleeves then fastened them together with a nut and bolt!

PS- About the magazine hoarding, please don't call TLC. It's really not that bad. We go through our magazines periodically now and recycle them. :) And that TLC 'I'm a hoarder' show makes me physically ill to watch. Especially the animal hoarding...wow. You only have to watch 2 minutes of it before you're switching the channel and running to the bathroom...or running around your house organizing clutter and throwing out everything you can.

That was really cute. And creative. We only watched Hoarders once or twice but Carter freaked and threw away as much as possible. :) We haven't seen the Animal Hoarders one though, that would just gross me out too much.
