My Article!!

Some of you may remember the article that ran in the Dallas Morning News in February featuring child life specialists. I was one of the specialists that the writer followed and this wonderful article was published!! I shelled out the big bucks (as did my parents.....thanks so much for your help!) to get it framed. My Mom said I should........that I would appreciate it at some point in my life and it would be a neat thing to have.

So I started researching frame shops that specialized in news print. Apparently they advise against framing news print, rather they prefer it copied onto cotton paper that won't fade. So $80 later JUST to copy the article, I agreed that it did look much nicer. We also opted for the "floating" matting (if you look real close you can tell the separate boxes for the article....the small white line you see is actually the floated mat separating the article from the base matting. We also opted for some fancy glass that prevents sunlight from impacting the print, la la la. I never knew there were so many options!

So it is in my possession and BEAUTIFUL! It is also rather large, so I am having a hard time finding a place for it. I will be playing around this weekend with wall space, but for now, it will be safe and sound leaning against a wall!
