Breast Cancer Ribbon
First of all, I have to say I’m so sorry that that I haven’t posted anything in a really long time. We have framed many, really fun items this year, which I want to tell you all about, but first I want to tell you why I have been too busy to update this site.
My wife at one of her many doctor appointments
At the beginning of 2015, my wife of 20 years was diagnosed with breast cancer. As the year progressed she has seen more doctors, had more tests, and had more treatments than I could ever count. In our 20 years together I think I have only seen her once, sick in bed with a cold. This made it so hard to she her in the hospital so many times for treatments and tests. Through it all, she has kept she spirits up, and rarely have I heard her complain. I knew she was a strong woman, but this really showed us how strong she is. As we start this year, the tests have slowed down, and we are returning to what the cancer center calls “the new normal”.
If I ended up missing someone because of this last year’s adjusted schedule. I’m so sorry!

So a new box of conservation mat board samples just arrived. It”s always great to see the all the new colors, and even a few new textures. We receive updates a few times a year, but this one was much larger than usual. In fact, we now have one of the largest sets of mat samples we have ever had.
We now have 3 rows of mat board samples for you to choose from. Did you also know that we only carry conservation grade boards? This means any board that we help you chose, will be made of the highest quality products, and will not harm your artwork. Want to know how to confirm that the mat boards you”re looking at are same quality museums use? Stick around, we will tell you in the next post!

Mother’s day is coming up, and I always think about showing you something fun for mother’s day, but I get so busy at this time of year that I never get it written up before the day gets here. So here is the one from last year.
- Framed craft project for mother’s day
The flowers and stems are made from the waxed string that you can get from Tv or some craft shops.
- Kids craft project before it goes into a shadowbox frame
I then just cut an opening, snuck it home so my daughter could sign it and then made a shadow box frame for it. Mom loved it, and it was so much better than candy or a card that just gets thrown away at the end of the week.
Hope everybody has a great Mother’s Day!
Keeping busy!

At Traditions we feel we’re two businesses in one. The first meets retail customer needs while the second handles commercial clients. With “commercial clients” ranging from hospitality to other frame shops to even government.
Recently a commercial clients asked us to produce 3 prototypes. “Prototype” meaning “framing example” or “proofs.” Deadline? Same day! And while challenging we were able to help.
Later we learned they “loved the work” (which is always great to hear that) and wanted 68 more. In 3 days! Again, we were able to help and even wanted to share images of the effort.
Half of the 68 frames
I always think it makes such a great pattern to see them stacked up.
