What are the Qualities of Custom Photo Frames?

What are the qualities of Custom Photo Frames ? This is a good question! First of all, the sky is unlimited as to what we can offer to customize a frame. My question is "what do you want to frame, meaning photo, certificate, drawing, etc.?" After this question is answered, my brain wheels start reeling with ideas! My next question is usually, "what is the significance of the item, meaning, what is the story behind the item?". For example, I met a young, newly married couple who had purchased artwork while they were on their honeymoon and they wanted to have it framed. In our conversation, they told me about a coin that a family member had and it had been estimated to have come from the time that Jesus walked the earth. My idea wheels started turning and I had the idea of framing the coin and then laser etching on the mat the time and history of the coin. This will make a wonderful conversation piece and preserve the item for years to come. We all have pictu

Make Yourself Unforgettable!

I took a Dale Carnegie course back in the 1990's and, in my perspective, his teachings are timeless. In his book, Make Yourself Unforgettable, Dale Carnegie tells us to keep the following points in mind: To get the best of an argument - avoid it. Show respect for the other person's opinion.

What Are Your Thoughts and Emotions!

I was listening to a webinar yesterday when the speaker asked us about out brain and our thoughts. He said that our brain is in charge of protecting us from harm. It is the old ancient fear that results in fight or flight. We needed this in the caveman days, right? Do you need it now? Yes, sometimes we do AND we are required to discern when it is necessary to listen to it when we are on a subway or when we are safe in our comfortable chair at home drinking our favorite beverage. When a fearful thought comes into your mind, do you go off on a tangent and continue to focus on that thought? Do you bring in past thoughts that might reinforce the thought and then project the thoughts and potential situation into the future? What happens then? I mean, what feelings result? Do you get afraid, depressed, or sick? Just think about this for a moment. This is so very powerful! Observe your thoughts now. What are you thinking now? Are your worried about paying your bills? Are y
