Michaels

I ended up at this Michael’s over the weekend for some random arts & crafts supplies. I’ve been to several other locations before, but usually come back to this one because it’s the closest to home. It’s not exactly the most organized and spacious place, but I don’t really mind. I like to walk up and down the aisles and get inspired by random art supplies. The cake decorating section seems well-​stocked and maintained, as do the 4+ rows of scrapbook supplies (yikes!). Other areas seem to have a lot of random things mixed in that don’t necessarily go together.
I couldn’t locate the modeling clay I initially had my heart set on, but a super-​friendly employee took me to the exact spot in the store where it was hiding. I really appreciate it when an employee takes the time to actually show me where something is. I have to say, it’s kind of annoying that there are already Fall and Halloween decorations out, but I know that’s corporate protocol and not the individual store’s fault. Seriously, though, it’s only the beginning of JULY! The check out was a little bit backed up, but the line moves quickly. They also recently started a rewards program that’s free to join. I’m sure I’ll be back the next time I’m in the mood for a DIY project!
