    For those who have their CPA certificate, where did you end up getting a frame for it?

    I recently got my certificate and am now looking for a frame for it. I stopped by some stores like Michael’s/Hobby Lobby which usually have decent discounts for custom frames. However, I was curious if there were other sites that had pre selected/built frames just for CPA certificates.

    What are your thoughts A71 folk?

    I'm not in CA and not even sure if I get a certificate (surely if you're CERTIFIed you get some sort of CERTIFIcate?), but I saw this discussion the other day about the oddly-sized CA certificates and framing them (the thread turned into a framing discussion): https://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/question-for-ca-licensed-cpa

    I just ordered mine from Michaels, it would have been really expensive but they had a 60% deal. But they were really good, they take a picutre of it and can show you right there what it will look like with the frame and matt you pick. I get it in 2 weeks!

    I got lucky and found the frame that I wanted at Joann's for $20. It matches the frames that I bought for my degrees, except it's a LOT bigger!

    Thanks for all the responses everyone. I think I'll probably just go to Michaels or Hobby Lobby and do a custom frame there with their 60% sales. I'm willing to drop a few hundred if necessary on a nice frame as this is a pretty substantial/significant certificate 🙂

    I picked up my certificate yesterday and it looks so good! Michaels did a great job. But, dang, it is huge! It looks giant in my room, can't wait until I have an office to hang it.

    I waited for Hobby Lobby to do one of their 50% off weeks (happens at least once a month). I then did all the bells and whistles like glass cover, matting, etc. It looks great and it was still cheaper than the various services that assaulted me after getting my license offering to do it.
