Cora was even nice enough to give us one of the pieces that she had done that the three of us liked the best. Definitely recommend this place and we'll be back soon! Thanks Cora!

I have been going to Michael's for years. But out of a given year I go about once or twice. I'm…read moredefinitely not what you call a regular customer but more of an annual one. The reason why I go to Michael's is to stock up on Halloween decor on my annual Halloween shopping spree the third week of September every year. What I love about Michael's is their Lemax Halloween houses that they have up every year. They always make a really fun display and I usually find at least one house that I fall madly in love with. It has become an annual tradition to get one house each year to my own growing Lemax Halloween village. The Lemax brand always has new houses and concepts each year so I have to make a decision as to what I like best. It's not out of the realm of possibility that a second runner up is ruled out forever but I would probably need to go to Ebay or Amazon and do some real hunting for ones from the previous years. I have gotten my Halloween shopping spree down to a fine art. Michael's is one of the first stores in my area to put up Halloween decor. This is roughly around mid-summer. By the time the third week of September rolls around the Lemax Halloween houses are on clearance which is usually around 40% off. This is an excellent deal because the houses at full price can be pretty spendy. As long as Michael's continues with these Halloween houses each year I will continue the tradition of adding one house to my ever growing town of ghosts and goblins.

Yeah we unwind the day literally with crocheting projects. This place was literally a candy store for people needing yarn and material for sewing.

Two of them take cards but only one take cash. Then there is two regular cashier stands. My friend and I realize that we need to come here for crocheting/knitting and sewing projects.
