Reason number 5 . WhyI love my husband.

This is a matted picture I found for $39.  The store was going out of business, and the owners were retiring which made for some great deals. I set the picture up against my dinning room table so you could see  how tall it is( 49 in tall by36 in wide ). I know that's big, but it had a cat on it! Who can pass that up?  We took the picture to a frame shop to have it framed. I was still chocking on the price when we walked out. They wanted $360 for a basic frame and plexiglass. I don't know about you...but even if I had that much to spend on a frame I wouldn't.
So my wonderful husband volunteered  to make me a frame. He had never made one before,but was willing to give it a try. 

  He added a rope detail to it. Which ended up adding a little class to the frame.

 Rick spent his whole weekend off, working on my frame. He made sure I was happy with each step before he moved on to the next.  Who know making a frame could make me feel so special.

  Here is the finished project. Sorry about the glare. I took several pictures  but could never get rid of it I also notice after I posted the picture that he forgot to wipe his finger prints off from when he hung it.

  This is a close up of the frame.  It turned out so much better then the basic one they wanted for $360.  I am so happy. I love the way it turned out!
