"Carl" and ReadyMade magazine

Long backstory - Went through the boxes I have in our closet today and I hardly threw anything away! It was like all my School of Education work and binders, textbooks, books and more books that I plan to read "someday". I can't bear to get rid of them but I think I'll have to bite the bullet and figure out what books to put in a yard sale...but I wanna read them! *sigh* I can be such a packrat. -- Sorry David! --
But one thing I found that I forgot I had was this sign my BFF, Sheena, made for me in college.

No, that's not a mistake, she really did call me Carl. I told her a story about how there was this one production in high school and the director spelled my name wrong (Carl) on the program and shirts and from then on, he called me, Carl. So Sheena decided to call me that too. I didn't really have a nickname growing up and I always wanted one. So I guess "Carl" is a nickname as any others ;)

I also found a HUGE stack of ReadyMade magazines.



It's a Do It Yourself kind of a magazine and gives you unique and awesome ideas on how to remake or redo stuff with things you normally wouldn't. I love it! One summer I made a bag out of plastic bags!

I decided to just rip out the ideas and projects I liked or think I could maybe possibly do in the future. Then I decided to Google the magazine. On their website with the post dated June 16, 2011 that out they are going to have to stop making the magazine due to the tough publishing industry. So sad! Now I don't know if I should keep ripping out and throwing the magazines away or just keep them all!
