Books, Magazines & Papers Everywhere..

On average I buy like 3-4 magazines every month, book about 1-2 and papers (pamphlets, catalogs) that I collect throughout the years, would be enough to fire up the house..heh! Now that we are moving from the current house to our permanent residence (hopefully), I have to think on what to do with all those reading materials. And don’t mention about the craft materials I have, Hubby couldn’t even figure out how to pack all of them since everything is all mixed up – different colors, assorted items, different projects.

Since Hari Raya is coming soon, I have to do something with all the reading materials in my living hall. It seems to be everywhere, on the sofa, beside the sofa, on the coffee table(s) and it’s growing fast as I keep on buying more to fill up my leisure, no-project time. Not that I care about their constant appearance but I’m afraid if I don’t do something to keep them away, whoever coming to my house during Hari Raya won’t have place to sit.

How do people with a lot of books and magazines sort out their items and organize them properly? Even the bookshelves upstairs seem to be overloaded with my books and magazine collections. Don’t suggest to me to sell them to surat kabar lama..certain magazines like Pesona Pengantin, women magazines (Rasa, Keluarga, Mingguan Wanita, Jelita, Wanita, Women’s Weekly) with recipes are my constant references. And for craft related esp. scrapbooking, I refer to magazines like Scrapbooks ETC., Memory Makers and many more that I manage to get my hands on.

If only I have more rooms to be converted to a library cum junkyard, it will be a haven. Next time you come looking for me, if I’m missing, find me under the books and magazines..heh!
