I’m not huge in to the arts and crafts but I find some really cool stuff here for doing special gifts for my family and stocking stuffers too. If you look carefully and collect the coupons you can usually get some amazing deals on a variety of crafts. My favorite stuff is watching Froggy Stuff on YouTube then watching my family replicate stuff they find at the store. Really creative! I guess my only complaint is that the store seems to be so small. It doesn’t seem to fill a lot of space. Maybe it is because I used to go there when it was a book store and it was more open and spacious.

Stumbled into this Michaels the other day just to browse around… love arts and craft stores. I have been to many Michaels all across the country, and this one is staple franchise just like the others. If you have been to one you have been to them all. With the exception of cleanliness or staff issues from store to store. I found this store to be very clean and well organized. The staff was super friendly and greeted us when we came in, and was also our cashier on the way out which was also a great experience. There was a lack of floor staff, but I am sure they were somewhere around being busy bees. I didn’t need help with anything, but usually I see floor staff around every few corners. There were a lot of sales on the art paint supplies which made me happy. I love sales, and Micheals is always having something on sale. Wound up grabbing a few items. Overall its a great place to grab your craft supplies as they have a wide inventory of things from yarns to beads, to paints, and kids supplies, even frames and will frame your art for your… yay.

Craft it up, but bring your receipt if you need to return art supplies.

So easy to find and get to! I go to Michael’s for various projects. Currently I’m working on re-doing old shoes and decorating them! I probably went down almost every aisle, but as I went I’d get more ideas and also spot deals or sales for cheaper ways to do things. This store requires lots of patience and sometimes a good eye to spot clearance items. They didn’t have the brand of fabric/shoe dye and paints that I wanted, but I was still able to find tons of great things. This is a great place to start for any DIY project!

My wife and I are big fans of the new location, as it seemed to give Michael’s a chance to get organized a bit better, making things a little easier to find. Their sales, combined with coupons they put out, can make for some great buys if you are patient. Overall, the store is quite nice, and the employees(at least when we have been the last few times) are always walking around looking to help. It definitely doesn’t hurt that it is now located quite close to Joanne’s Fabric, so you can go back and forth between the two to compare both similar and different items that each store carries.

This is a brand new Michael’s store on the corner of 434 and 436. This store look over the space that used to house Borders. The reason for my visit was my friend’s children were having a birthday party here. Did you know Michael’s does kids birthday parties? Neither did I! There is a good sized craft room at the front of the store. There are several tables with chairs and the walls have windows. The staff led the children through a craft but then when there was down time the staff just kind of hung out in the back of the room while the kids went crazy. I ended up escaping for a walk through the store. I must say I was expecting more. Even though the store was new it looked unkempt and disorganized. Packages on several items were torn or missing pieces. I ended finding my son a few small items then waited for what seemed like eternity in line. There were only two registers open and one customer was doing returns with a stack of receipts an inch thick! Employees should have called for backup after we waited for over 10 minutes. The store does offer crafty classes, some of which looked interesting. In particular the cake decorating and painting classes might be fun to take with a girlfriend. Times were limited though(Cake 1 was ONLY offered on ondays from 6:30 — 8:30pm). I was told that every 3 months or so they offer a class for half off. If you’re interested I’d keep an eye out for the sale. For most classes materials are NOT included in the fee. They are offering fun looking kid classes over the summer. Too bad they are always in the mornings. The classes are obviously for stay at home moms.

I am having my wedding ceremony in about 10 months so I will be frequenting Michaels a LOT in the coming months. Yesterday I needed White boxes suitable to ship. They had 2, and I needed 6. The girl that I grabbed from what she was doing(I was a little rude) first ordered them, but when we realized they wouldn’t show up for 3 weeks… and we(I) decided that was way to long to wait, she checked all the stores around. She found my my boxes and put them on hold for me at another store. My point is, she was really nice, went out of her way, helped me get what I needed on MY timeline. You can’t put a price on that. You just can’t.
