Good shopping

by netter1

I prefer this newer Michael's over the Pasadena location on Colorado. The overall scheme is the same, of course, but the square footage is greater and the lighting is brighter. Another plus is that this newer location in Glendale is a single story...don't have to climb any stairs to find out that what you're looking for was downstairs to begin with. I'm not 100% sure, but I think they even have more of a selection to choose from on their standard stock (as opposed to their seasonal stock). Parking at this location is for the entire center, so finding a space close isn't always possible. The staff here has generally been very helpful...although...and this isn't really sexist although it might sound like it...I usually find that the women are more knowledgeable about the craft and wedding items.

I strive to be an artsy person, so I love to come here whenever I take up a new hobby. I used to be into knitting, so I would go to Michael's for all my knitting supplies (yarn, needles, etc). However, knitting was a rather expensive and meticulous hobby, so I decided to take up card-making instead. There's a wide variety of card paper and blank cards & envelopes. Also, there are those cute stickers for cards though they are quite expensive. In fact, a lot of stuff here is pretty expensive, but there's a sales section (though it's mostly old holiday stuff). Though I've actually never attended, I hear they have these cute arts and crafts classes for kids and adults on random days of the week.

• Pros: lots of selection
• Cons: pretty pricey

Get all your arts & crafts supplies

I really like this Michaels store. It's fairly big, clean, and is well-stocked. I come here often for my arts & crafts supplies. You usually can find a 40% off coupon in the Sunday papers, good for one item.
