I give huge props to Martha in the Framing area. She has given me so much advice on how to frame signed jerseys and how to make them look better. I highly recommend if you are doing any framing work to see her as she really treats your work like it's going on her own wall and will be very OCD with your final product.

I was here on Sunday, Nov. 13th. So was everyone else! All Halloween and Fall products were on…read moreclearance 80% off, while Thanksgiving was already 60% off. Christmas items were all 40% off. The prices on the other items in the store were all various types of sales. Some sales prices were great deals while others (especially Christmas projects) were still not even a deal at all yet. There are no employees available anywhere except at the front check out. There were two check out lanes open and three self checkout computers. One employee had to stand near the self checkout to call people over to use them. The employees, including the one who was currently ringing someone up, would be yelling out to the line ... "If you are paying by credit or debit, there are self checkout registers open." Because I wasn't using self- checkout, the woman finished my order without ever talking to me except when she yelled across, "I can help the next person." There was no further talking. My items were simply tossed in a bag. Somehow 2 of the 4 spools of thread that I wanted to purchase got lost before I bought them. The store was hot, busy, chaotic, with a meandering line instead of one that followed the path they prefer because there were not enough associates. I did find all the items I needed. However, all categories of merchandise were spread apart because there would be some in the aisle and some in the end caps. It was a frustrating and still productive trip. But know your prices before you go!

I was met with a blank stare, followed by a finger pointed in the general direction of hundreds of balloons on display it was. The balloon Bunch ended up looking lovely.

I am an avid crafter, painting, calligraphy, wax seals...etc. I love popping in here to browse…read more However. They do no honor online pricing. They will do a 40% off online coupon for store pickup or a 25% in store coupon. I always place my order online for in-store pickup. Seems like a waste of the employee's time if I am already in store and have done my shopping. Employees could definitely be friendlier and I would really appreciate just being helped at the register instead of being told self check is available. I always say no thank you and can feel the cashier have an attitude when they have to ring me up. It's very annoying. So again, do your shopping online to save money AND save receiving an attitude.

I rarely give any Michaels a perfect rating, but this one deserves one…read more Michaels generally takes me forever to find something. It's huge and not every one has the same layout. I decided to check this one out while I was in Apple Valley. I had parked by Bed Bath & Beyond next door. There is plenty of parking at this plaza with a bunch of box stores. I wanted to check out the calligraphy section. Where on Earth was it? There was a woman staffer nearby, but she ended up helping someone else who flagged her. An older male staff associate was heading towards me. Yes! I asked him where I could find the calligraphy section. He was a saint. He led me over to aisle 50 himself. He didn't toss a random number at me. He made sure that I got to the aisle that I needed. All things calligraphy was right in front of both of us. I thanked him. I never caught his name, but he was awesome! I spent the longest time trying to figure out what I wanted. I thought that it would be good to practice my calligraphy on this trip, be it to unwind after a day out or on the plane to keep me occupied. The first calligraphy pen that I ever used was a green Elegant Writer felt-tipped one. It's perfect because you don't need to worry about a pen that has nibs or needs ink. I ended up with a four-pack with varying nib sizes. Perfect! There was also a sale on journals and sketchbooks. I got a blue one with a built-in elastic to close your book up when you're not using it. It was $2 off. Whenever I walk into a Michaels, I have the urge to relearn how to crochet. One of these days, I'll get back to it. It seems like the perfect activity to do when it's cold and snowy outside. Yarn. I love the colours and textures offered at this store. From chenille to fine baby yarn, you can find it all here. I learned about donut yarn, which has a bunch of different colours on it. Its donut shape prevents tangles and allows you to select the colour that you want to use quickly. It intrigued me. I'm so used to getting skeins of yarn that seeing a donut version was cool. I dropped by before Christmas, so there were many Christmas decor ideas, such as pillows and countdown calendars. There were some pretty good prices. Many items were discounted by 50%. I headed to pay for my items. There were two folks in front of me. I paid for my items with a credit card and had no issues. I got my items in a bag, thanked the woman, and happily left the store. I have since used my calligraphy pens to practise in my journal. It's therapeutic and fun. I'm so glad that I visited this store to get what I needed. (493)
