Hanging a present

My question is what did u do w/the picture of your brother? lol. About the onlypictures i receive are of my grandchildren & i wouldn't change them for anything.

LOL--typical that you would rather have a kitty image than your brother in that frame... What I sometimes did in the past is recycle those wooden plaques that one can hang up...I would take the photo that was glued onto the plaque off (by soaking it awhile) then glue on a photo of one of my cats onto it--I especially did that with former kitties that are now in Rainbow Bridge

Oh Elic, did you give me a good laugh today! I have already switched frames many times and the other artwork or pictures looked better in the other frames, so I really don't see no harm in it at all. Why did your brother give you a picture of himself if you don't get along. I think that's funny in itself, especially when you say you don't want to stare at him all day long, haha. Glad to hear your kitty lazer cut looks good in it!

I don't think it matters if you switch out frames with different pictures. I do think that maybe you need one of those digital picture frames that lets you look at different pics all the time. You might check into one of those.

The only times I gave picture frames the pictures were the real present, I just put them in frames. One time was my wedding picture and I gave some friends a picture of all of us. I would have been upset if another picture was put in either frame. Maybe you should get another frame for your brothers picture and then you'd have a nice picture of him also.

Sure, we've done that before, although I forget with what. I personally see nothing wrong with that. Another thing though it was good you asked your brother first. Rather be safe than sorry.

Well I hope you buy another frame to put your brothre in... BUt to is awful nice to have nice frame to put something in!

Yes. I have done that before also. My daughter got her senior pictures done this year and she gave them out as a Christmas gift. We got the portfolio and I just love it. I can set it out on the counter.

No I don't do that because I'd fear I'd offend the person when they saw it next. I'd have to ask where he got it and go buy another one to put his picture in so he wouldn't know the difference. Some people say things that they don't really mean to keep on the good side. I've given picture frames a time or two but without my picture in it so they can choose what to put in it and I've given frames with our picture in it.

hi elidBxn oh yes I have done that and I w as going to say if your brother was upset with you you might find a similar frame and put his picture in that instead. He sounds like its okay with him however. Ihave done that a lot of times as some things just seem to go with certain picture frames.

You didn't say in what room you hung the cat picture. If it was hung in the living room, maybe you could buy a plain frame for your brother's picture and hang it in your bedroom or a hall. If you hung the cat in your bedroom, then, I guess you'll have to put your brother's picture in an album. Due to my husband's preferences, we have our walls practically papered with pictures of our 5 grandchildren. Yes, I do switch pictures from frame to frame. For the most part, I don't remember which frames were given us and which I bought.

Hi Elic, What a good idea that was, I often do that myself, I normally get a pricture of flowers in a nice frame and it is often used for other pictures that I like, well why not? save going out and buying frames. Tamara

No way i would do this if i had a brother he would be more important to me than any other picture i had. I would asked him where did you find this frame. Explain to him you need this size frame for a picture you had for a long time and are not able to find one that size. If i was your brother i would think that you love the plan of picture more than you love me. Sorry but this is my opinion. I don't have any sisters or brothers. But i cherish every picture i do recieve from friends and family.

I wouldn't put different picture ibn the picture frame my brother had given me for christmas. I don't enjoy picture frames all that much. If I had some I probably would keep them put up so they wouldn't get dirty. I like how all of them have a bunch of memeories in them.

Nope I have not done that lol As I like the Photos that I get with the Frame, it is usually my Children or Gissi so I would never change them I am glad that your Brother did not mind lol

I haven't done that, but I could see if I got the perfect frame for something I already had...

Elic, frankly I'm always puzzled about just how it is you really feel about dear ol' bro.... You act like he's awful, but you say you love the guy. I'd have left his picture in it 'til he wasn't there (y'all don't see one another much, after all--& I'd bet the farm he never comes to your house! ), & then put up the cat pic, & if he did ever come over, I'd cheat & put his pic back, only to remove it after he left! I know, dishonest of me, but I hate hurting people's feelings. He may say he wouldn't care, but lots of people will say things like that to mask tender feelings, Elic. Ask yourself, how would you feel if a family member did that with your picture? Family is important, hun. Even rascally big brothers. Maggiepie MERRY CHRISTMAS! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hey Elic! I think that your brother would understand perfectly! How could he not? He absolutely knows how much you love your cats and he did give you the option to take his picture out of the frame anyway? And by the way, that was kind of vain of him to put his picture in a frame that he was giving you as a gift anyway! lol So, I think you did the right thing! It was given as a gift to you and you can do with it as you see fit! I wish you could show us this picture! It sounds absoutely beautiful and perfect! Enjoy your gift! Hugs, Opal

Your poor brother is he that ugly.ha ha.This has tickled me so much.Thank you very much.

i agree with what you have done,actually i like to hang what i like and decorate my wall,it looks fit for me.maybe what i do upset my friend,but i hope that i like to select better picture in nice picture frame and make it looks well,i think that it is more important than before,of course i can give my friend good explain and make him comfort.
