Michael’s

We go to this location more than the one @ Jantzen Beach, but the closest one from our home was the one on 122^nd across from KMart, which had been long gone. If I can’t find what I need @ Joan’s Fabric or Fabric Depot, I’d find them @ Michael’s. If I don’t find them @ Michael’s, I’d surely find them online, because if the other stores don’t have them, and Michael’s don’t have them, well. .. . you know.
But I was lucky, when I DO find what I’m looking for @ Michael’s, I just wish the ones I NEED often comes in the quantity of 100.
I called manager about a complained, a product I bought from there wasn’t as I expected and they were the ONLY store that carries them. They won’t give a refund or exchange unless I have a receipt. I told her I got it for Christmas present, but they’re the only ones that carry this product. She gave me a direction how to soak my Water Gems — otherwise, if I could go there today and talk to her, she’ll see what she can do. Today, I was flipping, it snowed and I really didn’t want to go out anywhere. I followed her direction, by soaking them in warm water — and within 2 hours the Water Gems plump up as large as marbles. (Earlier, I was disappointed they didn’t grow any larger, I wasn’t sure what I was doing wrong, when last year someone gave me a container of Lucky Bamboos and I soak them in water and they plumped up, but this time they didn’t.) I was so happy when her suggestion worked. I called her back to thank her, and I was glad I didn’t have to go out after all.
Their store is also more organized than other craft stores I’ve been in. Unless it’s just my lucky day when I go, that they’re neater!
