	Whew...The web site is finally done! www.artandframingmonth.com/framer Be sure to use the /framer to get to the download images. You have the option of three phrases in the center of the poster. So it can be used anytime instead of just October. It can be printed any size as a banner or poster to hang in the shop window. Thanks to Ellen Collins (needlework) and Roy Hermann (military medals) for their two pieces on the poster What a Difference a Frame Makes has two articles; one on conservation, one design. Three Postcards, images courtesy of Franks Fabrics, Omega Moulding and Larson Juhl. Eight framed pieces can be used to send with the article you send to the local press. Get out there and hustle. That''s it. It''s free. Vivian

	Vivian...Thank you so much. My window is done, and I am sending out postcards this week. I am also having a special event on Oct 15 at the Gallery and donating a percentage of the sales to our local soup kitchen. This October (tomorrow) I will be celebrating my 25th year in the art/picture framing business. I have two locations in NJ, one in Cranbury Station, and one in Princeton. In 2007 I was selected the State of NJ Business Woman of the Year. I am not telling you to impress you, but to thank you. I started reading your articles years ago in Decor Magazine, and sat in on numerous sessions at the NY and (back then) Philadelphia shows. I owe much of my success on the things I learned/read in your articles and classes. So many of your suggestions have worked for me...and many times these suggestions were followed on a shoe string budget...but your creative ideas made them "do able"... Even though I have been in this industry for many years, I always look for your "advice of the month". Last year I followed your suggestions for an "October is National Picture Framing Month" window and it was quite a success. This year I am adding the "on loan" cards with the pieces and I am looking forward to even more sales this year. As many of us are aware, these can be challenging times for many in our industry. I am living proof, however, that you can succeed. Thank You, so much, for your help. Kathie Morolda
