Congratulations to Lindsay Mayert!
Our main employee, Lindsay, is now a Certified Picture Framer! You can be sure that she has the qualifications and appropriate advice for helping you with your framing needs. Custom Picture Framing is a very comprehensive segment, and Lindsay has demonstrated in private testing by the Professional Picture Framing Association that she has attained remarkable skill and knowledge in the craft. As a certified member, she also has an amazing source to call on if any new questions come up with unique framing challenges.
Lindsay has certainly put in the time & studies and has the paperwork to prove that she ‘Knows her stuff’ when it comes to picture framing. This is not an easy test. Many framers fail after months of studying heavy material. Kudos to you Lindsay!
I hope you will congratulate her by visiting us here at The Framing Nook.
Now we are busy making it look pretty.(We tend to do that!) Ornate frame on a certificate? Looks great don’t you think? You will have to pop in to see what it looks like all framed up.
