Soccer Anyone?

Today the Shop Girls were all geared up to work on several pieces, one of which was a set of pins from the 2008 Chinese Oympic Games.  The pins came into the shop a little longer ago than we want to admit.  They were situated in a lovely box that was fashioned to look just like a soccer field, complete with hash marks and goals. 

It seemed a shame to dismantle that box.......

So, the job was set aside in order to give the 'design team' the opportunity to figure out just what to do.  That happens sometimes at 'Picture That'.  The girls just need time to think!

In a burst of inspiration a couple of weeks ago, it was decided that a shadow box would take care of the problem.  No dismantling necessary. Measurements were taken, matting was chosen, the frame painstakingly selected and ordered. 

Once the design was set and the measurements taken, the Shop Girls were excited to complete the job!

Unfortunately, Fed Ex wasn't as excited as we were this week.  Although, we were revved up and ready-to-go.......no deliveries this week.......what a let-down!

We moved on to other work today and hope to complete this job on Weds evening.  The colors look fantastic as some NEW sports-themed matting was created recently by Bainbridge, just-in-the-nick-of-time for this soccer-project.

Have a great day, everyone!  Stay safe in the snow and keep an eye out for our Fed Ex delivery guy! 

Ronald Regan Came To The Shop Today!

This is exactly why I love framing so much.  You just never know what or who is going to visit on any given day.  Some of my favorite pieces have been from Prague, Russia and China.  Most of our customers are from Salem County.

Today, Ronald Regan showed up!  Well, not exactly.......  One of my old classmates drove all the way down to Pennsville from Atco with a personalized, autographed note from Ronald Regan.  Just so you know, this is not the first time that President Regan has visited us at Picture That.  He came a few years ago in the form of both invitations and photos from one of his inaugerations.  All of these pieces were simply awesome for us to frame.

It's my understanding that Presidents Bush 41, Clinton and Bush 43 will be heading our way soon. 

Can't wait!
