This place looks very tiny from the outside, but actually has a lot of stock. Don't be surprised if…read moreit always looks like a dud of a store judging by the cars in the parking lot; the "store hours" are pretty lame, even by Stockton standards. According to the Events Calendar, the store is CLOSED every weekday, except Friday, when it's open Noon-6pm. Oh, but not on Sept. 26, when it's CLOSED. Open Sat/Sun from 10:30am-5:00, but not on Sept 27-28, when it's CLOSED. Five classes are offered during this month, all of them on days the store is closed. So how is it that they're celebrating its 4-year anniversary? How much business is this store pulling in? By the way, did I mention they don't charge sales tax here? But to make up for it, the prices seem a little steep, even by scrapbooking standards.
If you're looking for stickers, this place has lots of 'em. If you're looking for anything wedding-related, this place does not have 'em. At all. 12x12 paper is plentiful here, but a pain to look through, because they're displayed several layers deep per paper tray. Katie's provided tabs to separate the different patterns, and also has them separated by category (sports, beach, etc), but it's still very time consuming to look at all of it, especially if you're like me and don't go in with anything particular in mind. This is a great place for Disney stuff; LOTS of character stuff I hadn't seen before, and even Hannah Montana-type stuff. And don't forget to check out the side room for sale/clearance items.
Overall, I'll definitely come here again, when I have more time and when the store is open. When those two criteria shall meet, who knows....
