Frames Arriving

I order frames from Custom Frame Club but it’s pretty much the same as Custom Frame Solutions. For the “club” a membership fee is paid (annually I think) and we get discounted frames but the non-club orders almost always have a discount code. I wrote more about all this in this blog post.

Anyway, on December 18 I ordered eight frames. Thursday eight frames arrived. There’s one that’s out of stock and will not be shipped til May. That’s the frame I ordered for First Corinthians. I was concerned that the back ordered frame was the one I ordered for Santa’s Big Bouquet. I’m so anxious to see if that one works. You can see all the frames and for which projects I ordered them in this post.

I opened the box of frames, pulled out one . . without even looking to see which one it was. I’m going to get that one framed, then grab another one. All I’ve had time to do was get the piece tossed over the foam board. It isn’t stretched, it isn’t pinned. It’s really just tucked into the frame with the foamboard.

Darn it . . I shouldn’t have had the brown frame on the brown slip cover but hopefully you can see enough. I think it’s going to be beautiful! I’m glad that was the first frame I pulled out. I will pin this one to the foamboard tomorrow, then slip it back into the frame and stare at it for a few days. If I think it’s straight and looks as close to perfect as I can get it, then I’ll lace it, pop it into the frame, nail it all down and have it fully finished and ready for hanging on the wall.
