I ...Hi.<br />My name is Jim.<br />And I am a frame alcoholic.<br />I don’t know exactly when it started. Or how it got to this state but I have frames stashed in every corner of the studio, empty frames… haunting frames, frames that need repairs, new frames, antique frames, small frames, large frames. I tell myself just one more and than I will quit. That I have a great use for this frame, that this is the frame that will end this vicious cycle. <br />But I know that I have become powerless to my addiction.<br />And I need help.<br /><br />I won’t even start on the tower of books or shelves of objects for still lifes.<br />One problem at a time.<br /><br /><br />Umm….. if you don’t want those frames I’ll take them.<br />.jimserrettstudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16604574528873628463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4555295961358558347.post-77423663080969707762013-02-27T20:38:26.485-05:002013-02-27T20:38:26.485-05:00Hey that is a great buy!
