Do most of you get your posters professionally framed or do you do it yourself? I have framed other posters professionally from last tour but it's so expensive!!! Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for framing - a lot of times ready made frames aren't the same size as the posters. (I have 8 to frame now...) Am working on my PJ/music room, & am onto a second room - will post pictures sometime when I am done.

Thanks for any help.

    thanks - don't get me wrong, my posters I have framed now are gorgeous (matted with my concert tickets & all) but they were over $150 each & with 8 to do, I may just use a DIY until I can afford to do them all.

    Framing is super expensive.......


    And I wish I could stop buying them so I can START framing them...
    Conversations getting dull
    There's a constant ringing in my ears
    Sense of humor's void and numb
    And I'm bored to tears.......
