I've only had one framed at Michaels/no glass, not sure if I should be concerned about spacers...<br /><br />Sweet Stitchin...Sweet Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519938836522292479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258603058709369125.post-49379142936201526452010-05-16T20:52:18.061-04:002010-05-16T20:52:18.061-04:00Beautiful finishes!

I get some of my finishes framed at Micheals also, but I have never seen a frame that nice. Like you said the coupons make it worth while. Nice job on both pieces.

Similar things have happened to me and I just don't know what is the right response, if any. Somehow if and when I do "take a stand" I always come out looking like an idiot, so I usually don't do anything at all (which then makes me a doormat!) Love Lee's idea about the restaurant reccomendations!<br />As for the framing. Both projects look beautiful! I am such a chepskate that I have only once had frames professionally made. I used Michaels also. I was pleased with the frames, but they were a bit slow and never called me to say the items were finished (as they said they would). I actually just had the FRAMES made to the specific sizes I needed (that cheapskate thing again) and then did the mounting and putting-in myself. I would use them again though.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10949966372643951079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258603058709369125.post-36394507500415525302010-04-21T13:30:50.523-04:002010-04-21T13:30:50.523-04:00What a "friend"!
