Years ago, I started tearing out ideas from magazines like Family Fun and storing them in binders. I have a terrible memory and having them all in one place served as a visual reminder when each holiday rolled around.
My collection was a lovely one – Christmas, Spring, Summer, Fall, Recipes, Birthday Parties – each carefully organized. And dusty. o_O
In my quest to simplify our home, I decided that all the binders had to go. Suddenly it dawned on me that most of the crafts, projects, & recipes were probably online!
I now organize all of those wonderful ideas on my beloved Pinterest.
I do a quick search when I have a few minutes, and immediately throw the magazine pages away (lest I have dusty binders AND full Pinterest boards).
How do you make Pinterest work for you?

Great idea! I actually have binders full of magazine articles too. I should do this!
