Just thinking about "in-sourcing" my gallery wrapping, so good time for the meeting. So I won't do this. Anyone know of a good source to gallery wrap my printed canvases? Thanks Kristy and Jeff for the direction!

Hi Hazel,
My Photopipe on NE expressway does nice work. The service is sometimes questionable. If you use them you should talk with the manager beforehand and spell out
your expectationsPosted October 22, 2010 at 8:39 AM -

Linda BThis was my first SmugMug meetup and I was pleased at the level of information that was imparted. Will definitely attend more.

Kevin WrightGreat meet, great speakers, shared information that was related to the topic, alot of times you get speakers that stray from the subject or show you the best of the best, what I like to hear is how they overcame certain issues and learned from mistakes or experiences that made them a better company.

Pearl BrownGave me a lot to think about... what speciality to focus on and Kristy's ideas on outsourcing is spot on....as much as I love PS and playing with it's creative functions .. the processing on hundreds of photos is slowing me down. I should outsource to someone who's passion is processing. duh. Way to Go Kristy. And Jeff was outstanding with his passion for clarifying goals and defining my brand for my business. Thank you both for taking time to share your knowledge and passion with us.
