It's been a while...sorry

Sorry we haven't posted in a while. Things have been a bit crazy trying to get ready for all of our spring shows. Canton was a local show we did and it was really good for us :) Thanks to everyone who stopped by! Our church (The Journey) also had a booth set up for us and all of the amazing artist in our church donated items to sell. All of the proceeds are going for the adoption!!! Thanks to all who took the time and donated their artwork for us and our baby (who we will meet one day :) We are blessed to have such a wonderful church community!
We are constantly trying to come up with not only new, but original ideas. Having an idea and actually getting it done are two different things! But, we will try to post some pics soon. We love to hear our customers say "these are so unique" it makes us feel like our efforts are worthwhile :) So we keep on truckin'
Some info on the adoption front...Things are SLOW when it comes to adoption. We began this process January of 2007. WOW!!! It took us 8 mos to complete our paper work and it has been in Kazakhstan since August of 2007. We thought we would be traveling around late spring or early summer. We are content to wait for God's timing. Kazakhstan is a very popular country right now especially with China changing rules and regulations, it's harder and harder to get in that program(China), so people are going to other countries. And...Kaz is a popular choice. That's good news...it means many more children will be place in loving homes! Praise God! We will keep you all posted when we receive any news! We will probably do a separate blog for that (we will post the address.) A blog for when we travel, when we meet the child, etc...for those of you who want to follow the process.

Here are some custom orders recently finished

Not sure if you can really see the detail, but this frame is made of slats.

8x10 opening black distressed

p.s. wave to Donnie, he's standing behind the frame :)

"pieces"

this frame was not a custom order...it was an experiment and we love the way it turned out.

It is made with the bead board from really old houses

The introvert 11x14 opening

Framed bulletin board

love it with the black frame!!


***NOTE***

All of these frames are distressed using the "classic old frame" technique. Kind of like paint peeling off. This is the technique we normally use on our frames, unless otherwise specified when you place a custom order.

Here's a sneak peek at some of our new frames!

Introducing the Extrovert

5x7 opening with wide trim and wide base


These frames are without a doubt my favorite! It's kind of like a new twist on an old frame, but with a "swoop" instead of a twist! It can be any size, any color you need, with or without trim.

We LOVE these frames! The bead board is from houses that were built in the early 1900's. Our supply is limited with this bead board. If you are interested in a frame with the "old bead board" let us know and we will let you know what we have in stock.

4x6 frame with bead board $35

We will be posting pics of some new things that we are doing...keep checking back!

Finally...a blog :)

Here are a FEW examples of our frames and t-shirts. We will put the wall plaques and some other frame examples up soon. Remember...we can do frames any size and any color and wall plaques can say anything you want. Just let us know! We will add a price list soon and we will also be doing a separate blog for updates on the adoption (when we will travel, etc...)
