He passed away a few year ago and I'm not sure what I will do. Apparently I won't be trying Michaels!

Now I know how :) I will be trying to frame my own from now on.

I used one of them, proabably Joann's many years ago and was very pleased but will be on my guard now!

I'm sorry to hear of your experience with Michael's. I work in a frame shop myself, and we would never treat a customer in such a fashion. I hope you find a good framer you can trust! *hugs*DJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11608484065356946891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7365946016466913488.post-36075006012164532812010-02-21T03:03:39.642-06:002010-02-21T03:03:39.642-06:00Raven, what a terrible experience you had with Mic...Raven, what a terrible experience you had with Michael's. Have you considered doing the framing yourself ??? I buy the frame, mats and mounting board that I want and put everyhting together myself at home. It is not hard and saves a lot of money and aggravation. You can either use lacinng or acid free tape to mount it onto the mounting board. Foam core Mounting board can be purchased by the sheet at Michaels or Joannes or AC Moore's and is not that expensive. I keep a sheet of it around and use it for ornies or framed pieces or what ever I need. The pieces come in larger sizes. As far as your refund, I would call the store during the day and speak to a manager and tell him of your experience with that obnoxious man and the refusal to refund your money because it is evenings. that is non-sense, I returned things and received as much as $75.00 in the evening. They are just jerking your chain. Don't let them get away with it. Can you tell I am upset for you. Good luck !!!
