I love this store. They have so many things, it's really hard not to overspend. But the prices are good, and they have a monthly special booklet, so it's not such a bad place to buy more than you intended!

The scrapebooking section has grown to very large proportions. There are several aisles of yarn, and a very nice yardage area which includes some fancy fabrics and upholstery goods. There is a large selection of fancy ribbons and trims. The beading section has grown nicely, but sadly they do not have beads in hanks, only tiny containers.

There are also areas for silk and dried flowers, wood crafts, candle making, lamp making, party supplies, glitter, all kinds of glues, feathers, and more things than I can remember. The drawing/painting section is smaller than I'd like, and the polymer clay almost nonexistant, though.

The staff is very friendly and helpful, and can almost always answer your crafting questions.

There is an aisle devoted to seasonal crafting supplies.

You can even take your small animals in, so long as you carry them or put then in a shopping cart! The staff just loves them.
