This review is focused on the framing department.
I have a wonderfully talented daughter who has given me a number of beautiful drawings that need to be framed. Today I headed off to Michaels to try to get one of them framed. The picture was rather large so it doesn't fit in a standard mat/frame without some effort. The guy that helped me was fairly helpful, but the prices were ridiculous! Even with a "supposed" sale of 55% off and a single mat...the best he could do was still well over $100. Well, that didn't work for me. He gave no other options to me either. Instead I headed to Hobby Lobby, where they had a frame on the sales floor that I could use (about $22 with my coupon) and had a lovely lady help me with a custom mat. They put it all together for me and I'm out the door at $42. Guess where I'm going with the next picture???
