cutting boards

in my old room at my parents house i used to love putting up pictures of things i liked. i would put up posters of movies or bands or comic books i thought were cool. i would also get the magazine 'wizard' every month. it is a magazine devoted to comic books, and it always had the coolest pictures in it. i would really love those pictures and would want to put those up too. the only problem was that those pictures were too small. being the industrious young lad i was, i didnt let that stop me! after i had read the magazine i would pull out an exacto knife and cut out all the pictures i loved and put them on the wall individually with a small ring of tape on the back. my mom wasnt too keen on this idea. after much persuading, she said i could put up the little pictures in the closet if i wanted, as long as i could shut the closet door and no one else had to see them. no problem! i spend many many hours in my room on my drawing desk cutting out little pictures that i liked and plastering my closet with them! no matter how small the image, i could cut it out- i became quite a whiz with that exacto knife.
by the time i headed off to college, i had every single inch of that closet covered with images- i had even gone so far as covering the ceiling with pictures as well! these two heavy stock paper boards were what i would slip under the pages while i cut out the different images.
