- I have been using those "collage" frames which have cutouts
- for several pictures, that you can get at your local K-mart or other
- discount store. The larger ones can hold around fifteen or twenty
- photos, but they aren't that big (12 X 16 ?). I have three of them
- currently. I've been toying with the idea of buying a larger frame,
- like 24 X 40 or so, and making my own "cutouts", because the K-mart
- specials all seem to have different size and orientation cutouts than
- my favorite pics, (and as my photos get better, there's more I want to
- display ...). You can put up the frames with sticky hangers rather
- than nails if the wall's too hard.
