I work at a craft store. I frame stuff. Like REALLY freaking frame stuff. This is not your grandma's framing job.
I know this store inside-out, upside-down. No, we do not have rubber bands. Nor garage sale stickers. We do have rock tumblers. But not sewing machines. Or cross stitch or embroidery. You can tell me what kind and color of yarn you need, and I can take you to it, and tell you when we'll be getting more.
We do not have giant bumble bees. We do not have mini zen garden kits. Nor do we have soccer keychains. But holy hell, people! Make them! We have everything to make your stupid stuff with! And if we don't, we have an alternative you can use. Sometimes, I want to take these people and just shake them, then slap them.
Then I wonder if it's just me, just the way my brain works. Like Sylar can see how to fix a clock. Maybe I'm a fix-it person. I'm not so much artistic or creative, I can just think my way out of a box.
Someday, I'm going to make a book and it'll be titled "All the things I made from Michael's while working there." And it will be filled with the craziest shit. But then people would be too amused and astonounded, and it'd just make me madder.

I have loads upon loads of stuff that needs framing. Im not talking about a simple frame and mat job, but getting wacky with things. Hook me up with a good deal!
My recommendation would be to wait for one of those killer sweet 60 % off a single item coupons and buy a mat cutter. We sell mat board super cheap by itself, but at a hefty price to cut. If you cut 10 mats with it, you'll have made back your money, for sure. Also, I'd take advantage of a wood shop. Glass will be your gold diggin bitch though. So expensive. Hopefully you have canvases?
At least, that's what I'd do.
I'll keep you all up to speed when we do have good deals.
