eFRAME Picture Frame Review

There is one thing I love and that's taking photos, they can be off anything I am forever trying to get better at my technique. As much as I love taking them I love looking at photos, I often waste tons of time looking at photos new and old. So when we got offered a review of a wonderful frame from eFRAME I could not wait for it to come. You see as nice as photos can be in canvas prints they do not beat a framed picture. The way they hang as flat almost like its part of the wall.

The thing about eFRAME is that you can customise any size frame, so if you have a photo that can not be stretched it is perfect for that. eFRAME stock a large selection of frames. There is different options to chose there is ready made frames, which if your like me and have no clue then this is a good option. Another service is their print and frame option where your frame will be delivered with a print of your choice, and lastly they sell a custom frame, where you can choose your own size frame.

The design process is the easy, you choose the size (and there is popular sizes too if your not good with sizes like me). You can chose the frame weather it be wood or aluminium or even one from their own collection. I went for a black frame with a white border, the effect of the photo against the white wall is almost as if the picture is just against the wall. The great thing about my frame is that as its rather large 45cm by 65cm that their is no glass weighing the frame down, the front of it is made out of perspex. 

The only issue I had was I did get a little confused using the website, I think I was rather excited to get a frame I clicked the wrong thing by mistake, so when it came I was surprised as it had no photo. I had not checked my order in the email confirmation (rookie mistake). Other than that the website was easy to use, I like that you can choose any size and it did not take too long. The only way it may take a long time if you are rather indecisive as there is alot of choice. I had in my mind the colours and the type of frame I was after, which I think helped cut the time down.  

The delivery was exceptionally quick especially as it was custom made, and the frame packaging well nothing was going to break that frame on delivery. Wrapped within another package and very secure. I could not fault the packaging. It did take some time getting into the package and a good pair of scissors.

I love our new frame, it looks perfect in our living room. People have been attracted to it as they come in and always comment on the standard of the frame. I shall use the service again as I love a good frame. The price of this frame £40 excluding VAT, you may be thinking a bit pricey but the quality is excellent. So why not check out the eFRAME website and start planning your print that you would like on your wall.

Life oh LIfe - Feb

Just thought I would write a little update of our day to day, I know we have not been around as much as I liked on the whole blogging front but someone has been stealing my evenings so I have been stuck, infact tonight is the first free night in along time and I spent it doing a sainsbury online shop! Oh well It hasn't helped I have been working alot of evenings meaning by the time I get back my brain is mush. Enough about the boring bits of my days heres the fun parts.

We have been making the most of our garden and getting the kids outside. Its been so cold so the park is no go so at least the garden we are not far from the warmth. Little Bear has loved it and we find it really difficult to get him to come inside. Pants has found it good for football practice so the warmer days shall bring much relief. I really can not wait, we have never had a good garden so shall be interesting. I have loved the sun shining even if it has meant cycling to work has been rather chilly.

With the season of love upon us me and Ami have been getting creative making heart stamps out of toilet roll. Really easy to make all I did was make the circle into a heart and tape it and all set of a toddler to put as much hearty paint all over the place. We also put masking tape into a heart shape so when it peeled of it would look all lovely. It was fun and for the first time I did not feel so stressed with paint, Ami enjoyed it and although the toilet rolls when all mushy and we ran out of paper she was doing it for ages.

Pants just played in his last game of his season, they won 14 matches out of 14 and scored a impressive 105 goals, although Pants has felt a little crushed by sitting on the bench it will hopefully help him to be more disciplined. He likes to have fun and finds it hard to sit still so as he gets older I hope it improves. The team did really well, really well for 7/8 year olds. My husband I think has been enjoying 2 football games on a Saturday.

Little bear is finally starting to talk, he can now say birbees and bath along with mummy and daddy. My first two were such chatterboxes and they speak alot for him so its nice to see him say words. Ami got so excited as she understood what she said, she is so good at encouraging when shes not beating him up.

Yes we made a dragon also

So this is some highlights from us at the moment, life has been busy fitting in work and childcare me and my husband are often passing ships.

Have you ever set a trypod up and thought yeah everything looks good lets try a throw your kids shot. oh wait wheres Ami. Pants isnt looking much better and me well I look like ive just caught Little Bear. I said Ami wasn't going to be in it I was nearly right she half is in the photo!
