Bitsy, what a great idea to include one of your masterpieces in the exchange! I can't wait to see the before/after!
Another idea for the frames...I buy $1 ones (dollar stores, Walgreens, Target's dollar section, etc...) and then embellish them myself. I'm a scrapbooker, so I have tons of supplies around all the time...I sand & paint, add ribbons, buttons, beads, stickers, etc...and they go from plain $1 frame to one-of-a-kind customized beauties!
