Merry Christmas Everybody.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to the forum, especially everyone who take the time to reply to questions and queries who's advice has really helped me in my first year of having a framing business. Hope you all have a lovely festive period and get a little break from framing.

What else can I add? Have a good one guys & gals

It's a shame we can't all meet up for a bag of chips or something

Help yourself, featurepiece




I'll add my good wishes too, and like muffinski, with huge thanks for all the help and advice I've been given in the last year. You're a great bunch xxx

Hehehe That'll do I suppose

Sheffield is a good central location to meet up and share some chips! Although I have a feeling many of you will be held by customs and ultimately refused entry into gods own Yorkshire, not mentioning any names here except maybe James, that is obvious though a Mancunian living in London!

Merry Christmas guys! A lot of Christmas framing orders at my end were later than usual coming in, so I've been working like crazy! I've still got a lot that were not promised for Christmas, but the orders were accepted on the basis that I would do my best, so I'll be busy up to the start of the new year.

I've also got a not bad order book for January, with hopefully more to come, plus a couple of restoration jobs as well. I was thinking that January would be a quiet time for business, but the last two weeks have changed all that!

I've pretty much outgrown my premises during the last 6 months and need to do something about this. At the same time, 2017 is the year that I turn 65 and get my state pension. As a result, I don't want to look for new premises at my age, so instead I will be down sizing and staying put.

So next year, I won't be accepting certain types of work (eg, no more football shirts, etc) and I'm down sizing my current moulding stock. A lot of my surplus mouldings will just be scrapped. I won't get anything for them, but it's a quick solution to my current lack of space.

I also plan to finish revamping my shop and after that there will be something like about 20 unwanted half sheets of slat wall which will, either be free to a good home, or just scraped. I let everybody know when I'm ready to get rid of the slat wall panels.
