Very interesting numbers displayed. Where do you collect this data from Nancy?

Every time I refresh my google reader it’s like a brand new issue of my own customized magazine. I get my favourite scrappers’ layouts, methods and asides, plus new sketches, and other interesting tidbits. Free. And, oh yes, giveaways (I’ve won a couple, even.)
That’s hard to compete with, especially when people have to cut back.
That said, I subscribe to both CK and SBE, but they are not my main source of ideas and inspiration as they used to be when I first started scrapping 2 years ago. Ditto on books and special issues.
And I can foresee a future where I don’t renew my subs, though I’d probably drop CK first.

Interesting numbers. I got a letter yesterday saying the UK’s major scrapbooking title ‘Scrapbook Inspirations’ is ceasing publication with the current issue, so it’s international, this slump.
