Sometimes a photo just begs to be taken Here is Maggie and her Mom. See more photos of their DIY project and more picture framing stories on our Framing Stories web page:

Maggie and Sara Hougan framed a photograph of Maggie's brother, Patrick. Maggie, age 4, pulled out the staples by herself. She cleaned the glass, cut the wire, did the tape, put on the paper backing and sanded it to fit. Sara is a photographer and framed this photo as an example of her work. You can see more examples of Sara's photography at sarahougan.smugmug.com

Dear Framer's Workshop Folk: Even though I no longer live or work in Berkeley, I come from Alameda to your shop to do all of my framing. Your staff and your selection of frames are simply the best, and I that know one of the reasons my paintings sell as well as they do is the beauty of their frames.

Thank you! LHB ... a comment from Lisa Haderlie Baker , left on on Feb 28th, 2011 at 3:07 pm

Cute framing stories. That gives me inspiration to keep the good wealth and happy spirit in my company.

I'll try to frame a moment by week or month in here. Thanks for the idea! ... a comment from Pedro , left on on May 23rd, 2011 at 3:52 am
