Framing your child's artwork

This is such a great Christmas gift idea for your child. Frame their artwork!!!

Imagine their face lighting up when they see that THEIR artwork is important enough to FRAME!!!!

...or if it's not a gift and you want to just frame it, bring them along and have them be part of the design process!!!  What fun it would be to let them do the choosing... We'll offer our input of course, too. :)
