What's new
We are so grateful for your continued support during these challenging times. Business has been strong and we are working hard to keep up with the demand. We are currently experiencing a delay in the shipment of some of our materials and because of this (and the shut-down), we are currently estimating a 4-6 week processing time for most orders.* If you need a quick turnaround, don't worry! We can still make that happen with our big selection of in-stock materials!** Stop by or call us at 817.292.7842 to learn more.

Staying safe
Public safety is our top priority. In accordance with regulations, all employees and visitors to the store are required to wear a mask. Social distancing is enforced and we thoroughly clean and disinfect between customers and at the end of each work day. You can feel safe shopping with us.

How you can help.
If you love what we do, please help our small business grow and tell others about us. It's the biggest compliment you can give us and it will help our business more than you can imagine. Thank you!

FUN & GAMES - Capture Fun Memories by Framing a Board Game!

We hope that you and your loved ones have remained healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic. For some of you, the stay-at-home order was extra time to spend with your spouse and/or children. What did you do to keep yourself and everybody else entertained? Did you put a puzzle together as a family project? Did you play board games or card games? Were you able to throw a Frisbee around in the yard? Activities like these always create great family memories.

Did you know that you can frame puzzles and games? Board games, puzzles, cards, and game pieces lend themselves very well to a framed display, especially considering most of them have eye-catching design and a flat profile. What a great way to remember a happy memory in the midst of troubled times.

BOARD GAMES

Don't let anyone forget that you won the epic 4-day Monopoly game! You can even include game pieces, cards, and money.

JIGSAW PUZZLES

You did it! You finally finished that 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle you've been meaning to do for years. Such an effort needs to be rewarded. Frame it! (And you'll never have to put it together again!)

Instructions
Look what you found while you were cleaning closets! An old game you used to play with your siblings. It's a little worn now to be played, so bring the fun back by framing it. Copy the rules and put it on the back or in a pocket on the back.
Did You Know?
  • In Monopoly, Jake the Jailbird is the guy behind bars and Officer Edgar Mallory sent him there.
  • Chutes & Ladders, a game about Karma, was invented in India in the 2nd century. It was originally called Snakes & Ladders. The phrase "back to square one" originated in the game.
  • The game of Clue was invented in 1947. Mr. Green was originally a reverend, but Parker Brothers objected to a reverend being suspected of murder, so he was changed to a businessman.
  • The Game of Life was the first and only board game invented by Milton Bradley, although he single-handedly launched the board game industry. Because using dice was associated with gambling, a 6-sided top was used instead.

'SOCIAL DISTANCING' GAMES

Lucky you - it was warm enough to get outside and throw the Frisbee around. You had some fun and stayed six feet away from your friends! Capture the memory: get out a permanent marker, write something on the Frisbee to commemorate the time, have everyone sign it, and don't forget to date it. Then frame it!

GLASS OR ACRYLIC?
Sometimes framing a board game or puzzle can get large. Because of the size, it can also get heavy - especially if you use glass to protect it. Consider using acrylic instead! It is lightweight and non-breakable under most circumstances. Be sure to use the UV protecting acrylic so the puzzle or game board won't fade. And, if your piece will hang in an area with a lot of bright lights, ask us about our anti-reflective acrylic options.
