There's still time!!!



Photos make fantastic Christmas gifts! Did you take a great candid photo with your cell phone?

Email us the photo and we can print it either 8x10 or 11x14 (or larger) and frame it in a readymade frame very inexpensively and quickly.

For example: We print your great photo at 11x14 and frame it in a beautiful 11x14 readymade frame and the cost is just $39.00... All you have to do is email us the photo and choose the frame, we do the rest. The best part.... it will be ready for you the next day!

Finding a treasure...

 Sometimes you find the unexpected....
This past week we had a client bring in an old frame she found at a thrift store and was going to replace the old faded poster that was in it with another image of hers...
When we took the old poster out of the frame we found a treasure hidden behind it. There we found an almost perfectly preserved marriage certificate from Illinois dated March 9, 1882. All the lettering could be easily read and our client was thrilled to know we found it. Even though she doesn't know who the folks might be in the certificate she is going to try to track down their descendants and return the marriage certificate to their family.

What a great story!

Share a memory!

Recently we had a dad come in with a box full of items his daughter acquired at the Taylor Swift concert.  He wanted to make a keepsake for her in the form of an object box / shadowbox.
Below are a couple of pictures.  The first one is of all of the items before we moved them about into a pleasing arrangement.

Horse Mane Shadowbox

Horse Mane Shadowbox
Here is a shadowbox we finished this week.  It is the mane from two horses that our client has loved and lost.  These manes were wrapped at the top with a piece of leather, then we sewed that leather to the light green mat.

We raised the top mat high enough so the glass wouldn't touch the manes and then used our computerized mat cutter to write the horses names under their manes and also wrote "Happy Trails" at the top.
We also added a debossing design on the top map.  It's subtle, but the client loved it.
Do you have some special memories that you'd like to preserve and enjoy everyday?  We can help!
