I have a few shots I took of friends(Yes, I actually have real live friends, as opposed to you all here at DPS) in free standing 5x7 frames. Some Macro shots I took & various others. None actually hanging on a wall yet!

The office at work for the woman who runs the Human Resources Dept. had a bunch of pictures of old products our company used to make years ago. All B&W & very boring!! So, I made it my goal to exchange all those pics with ones I took. Everybody that works there will be in that office at one point or another. I found a place on-line to get frames at a reasonable price. This all included for $25.35. They're not the greatest but they're pretty good. The best part is, I can crop my pictures the way I want them & order a frame to fit.
Here is where I get my frames. Custom Frames
Total Size: 14 11/16" (w) x11" (h)
Window Opening: 10 11/16" x 5"
Satin Black Frame:$ 12.74
3"x2"x3" Sailor's Blue Mat 1:$ 4.94
Acid free Foam Core Backing Backing: $ 1.95
Plexi:$ 5.72

This is the picture I started with. I've gotten numerous comments.

I voted n because I haven't got round to it yet but I have plenty in small frames on the TV, windowsills, sideboard and so on. Family pics though and I don't think that's what you were thinking of.

No.

Or, so I say "Not yet." I've printed some out, but those were mainly just to see how they would come out on my printer. I haven't gotten any framed yet. Although, I do use them for desktop wallpapers.

My house is full of my framed pictures. Most of them are of my kids growing up, but I also have quite a few nature shots up for decorations. I had a section of 4 abstract shots on my wall, but my mom liked them so much that I took them down and gave them to her. Now that section of my wall is still empty...

Here are a few that I framed from our trip to the Southwest last March.

My Pics

These are pics of my kids and family.

This is the wall in the entryway to our home. I love this wall, but I'm running out of room for adding any more shots...

My Pics (3)

And this one is in our bathroom. It's all macro shots that I took when we were in Colorado a few years back.

My Pics (4)

I also have a 16x20 from the Grand Canyon that I framed and put in the downstairs bathroom, but it's too hard to take a picture of.

I've also done some 16x20's, framed them, and donated them to our Church for the Youth Center. I do all of my large printing through Shutterfly.com, and all of the smaller ones at home on my Canon i960.

We actaully have many of our photo's (mainly of places we've travelled) on our walls.

Even a couple we've had blown up onto canvas.

This link is to one we had put onto canvas at 40" across the top.

I have no idea. Either Target or Marshall's. I always look at the frames when I'm in stores like Marshall's or TJMaxx, and sometimes the clearance areas at Target. When I find something I like, I buy it, and then wait until I take a picture or pictures that would look good in it.
