This is the new location. The old location was pretty cool and had a lot of stuff, lots and lots of scrapbook paper, that's for sure, along with many small "things." I am not a scrapbooker but I think it would be a heavenly place for someone who is. However, I do enjoy the paper arts and find myself in need of things like paper tags for gifts and packages.
I finally went into the new location and, at first, I was like, these people are kinda rude, as they did not come out of the back section to greet me or ask if I was looking for anything (which I was.) but, I withheld judgement and I'm glad I did. They just seem like real people and not phoney-bologneys. They were totally willing to help, they just didn't pounce on me as I walked in, which is I guess what I'm used to. Turns out they weren't making the little colorful tags I used to buy to tie onto things and I was bummed out for a second... BUT, even better, they let me choose my own papers and then use their die-cutter to cut any size and shape tag I wanted! It was perfect because it was way cheaper this way and I wanted a lot of them. Plus, with the neato papers I picked out, they were totally original and I love them. So I got to be more creative than I was even expecting to be!
They seem to have a lot of different dies to choose from, for multi-purpose uses. and you can work on your project all day long in their project room at the back.
Also I must mention the decór of the new place...very vintage with antique frames, typewriters, cameras, etc. I am a pushover for anything like that so I was into it.
While Jo-ann's or Michael's may have a lot of Scrapbook paper, this place has more, and more interesting selection and actual personality.
