I seek information, inspiration and just plain ol' visual eye candy! The top 6 are for home decoration, which is my absolute No. one hobby. I love (re-)arranging our home to suit our needs and make it as cozy and relaxed as possible. Here's a sneak peek around our house. It's not always as tidy, but I try to keep it some what un-cluttered, as I LIVE better that way. We're in the middle of a huge remodelling period and as soon as I get a little money, I will finish up the kid's rooms. The rooms are painted, my son's bed is made (still needs paint) and my daughters bed is painted. They both need a few rolls of wallpaper. I already bought it - flowers and Garfield - I'm just trying to build up the confidence, to actually put it up! Then they'll get some quilts, pillows and Mommy Art as the finishing touch....

No. 7+8 are for inspiration and patterns for my creative makings.
No. 9+10 are for all things KIDS - clothing, stuff and living.

I keep all my magazines at hand, because I often run through them. Over and over. Some I'll keep "forever", most I keep for 2 years. That's what fits into my system.

Tomorrow I'm off to the post office. The new issue of Boligliv will be out and I have 2 friends waiting for them!

    Love most of them, but I am a little surprised to see that you don't read Living Etc?

    Living Etc is one of those mags I read once in a while, as it is with Decoration and Bluprint, that I mentioned. Also Bo Bedre, Domino, Ready Made and Real Simple makes that list! Then I have one issue of Atomic Ranch which is AWESOME! A lot I get in swaps. The same with Idees Bebe - got a few in a swap....

    Just checking to see if my dad s guest book is working, not that I don not believe him. I might just have to have one of these myself.
