check them out! These are new on our site

Check out one our favorite non profit organizations…These were made for an art show auction to raise money for Sole Hope which exists to provide jobs for widowed women in Africa, and puts shoes on the feet of orphans. Close-toed shoes are an essential part of keeping life threatening diseases out of children’s feet. We teach women who need work how to makes shoes. We pay them an appropriate wage and give the shoes to the children of their city who have been orphaned due to various reasons.

Please take the time to check out a very worth while cause…Sole Hope.  You will find out all about them at

www.solehope.com It is about Children.  Africa.  Shoes.

Shoes for children in Africa that need them.

This is where we come in…there is an auction to help them raise money.  Creative Dragonfly has a frame on there….AND the auction is on line, so check out the really cool stuff and see if you can use some of it - for yourself, or for a gift (even better, right?)  This is so worth while!

oops!  go back and click on the links!!! In case you want to know right here what sole hope is:

If you will send us an digital image of your photograph in one of our frames, that we can use for promotional uses, we will send you a 10% off your next order coupon and give your studio credit with a link.

Well, here’s your chance to see just how easy it is!  This is not a professionally made video, but it will explain what you need to know!

You won’t believe how easy it is…

Even more important than that, I was introduced to a photographer today that inspired me, as well as a link they had on their site that encouraged me, so i want to pass it on to you today.  Everything we do in life is about pointing our lives toward our creator, God and the way we are suppose to live our lives for Him.  Not that we are all suppose to be preachers or ministers or work in a church, but we can do everything we do like we are doing it for Christ, even if we make frames and how we handle our business interactions.  So check out www.lisaghost.org

for refreshing images, and a pause to be still for a few minutes!  we all need that

Well, our move from North Carolina to Oklahoma has started.  The whole thing should be completed by April 12th.  Does that mean everything will be out of the boxes?  Hardly!  Work has started on the house, the studio and creative dragonfly’s work shop.  We have a lot of work ahead of us, but we are so excited to get started making frames in our new space.  I will get some pictures on here soon!

Starting Monday, we will be moving our business to Oklahoma!  Having been a military spouse for the last 20 years and being all over the map, we are moving back “home”…..my husband has retired from the navy and we will be living near family, something we have not done since we left home for college!

Frame making will only take a halt for 1 week.  So if you have an order in, are getting ready to put one in, never fear, go ahead and do it.  Production MAY take 3 weeks but no longer than that.  If we run into issues, and we all know they can, =), then we would give you a call and work with you. Thanks for being patient!  We love making frames for you!!!
