Gee, tis' about time. I started this Oct 2005 (thanks to archive searching this group, i Know this for a fact), they were finished this March, and now hang over the piano. This might be my last big needlepoint project, as I'm out of wall space and the fingers get sore too fast now.
I used my old trick for framing - put half on cr. cd. BEFORE your billing date when you choose your frame, then half after when you pick it up. Hubsters, if they see one of the receipts, think "Oh, that!" and never dream it's a duplicate. They have usually no idea what custom framing costs, so it's easy to get away with this, if you remember to hide the bill and one of the receipts. Play the game, ladies, play the game.
