Michaels

Being an artsy crafty type of chick I love this kinda store of course. The staff is so nice. I’ve taken classes there before and thoroughly enjoyed myself. There is an abundant of supplies for whatever your hobby or passion is. They’ve got cute knick knacks and nice sales on a daily basis. You can also use competitors coupons so you can come out really good most times. The staff is always so helpful and friendly. The store is laid out real well and you can easily maneuver and find stuff. I always seem to spend at least an hour or so in there finding all sorts of goodies. Let your creative sides kick in and visit them for all your special projects. You’re bound to find whatever it is you’re looking for and then some. Lol

GREAT OPTION FOR HOLIDAY BAKING SUPPLIES!
This store s small compared to other Michaels locations. However, I was looking for a sizable gingerbread cookie cutter. After checking several stores, I realized that Michaels would be a good option as they often stock holiday baking supplies. They had exactly what I needed and the gingerbread man came with cutters for accessories so that you can make sunglasses, a necktie and other items.
Even better, I was able to pull up a coupon on my phone so that I received 40% off my purchase. Yay.
Don’t forget to use your coupon for those items that are not on sale.

I went to this Michaels to get some new picture frames. I’m not a big arts-​and-​crafts person, so I can’t comment too much on the rest of the store, but the framing department was okay. They had a lot of frames to choose from, but they were pretty expensive. There were sales, though, and a person who works there advised me to come back the next week when the frames I wanted would be half off.
I went back to get my frames, but I needed 8.5“x11″ rather than the more common 8“x10″. Most of the different colors were sold out by the time I got there. I was able to get them at another Michaels, and I converted some of my images to 8“x10″.
Overall, this is an okay place. The staff was nice, but it was hard to get someone in the frame section to help. They had an okay selection if everything was in stock. I wish I could comment on the rest of the store, but really my only experience was with frames, and I ended up happy, so I can’t complain!

The manager is awesome! Always willing to go the extra mile for her customers. Live going to this store. They always have great deals!

I’m a crafter and therefore I visit Michaels all the time. I mostly shop there for baking items — they have all the Wilton items, including pans, icing colors and all the accouterments you might need to make the perfect cake. Right down to cake boxes and boards for the perfect presentation!
I also buy lots of ribbons here for making tag blankets for my friends when they have babies as well as picking out yarns for my mom when she needs to crochet baby blankets, sweaters, booties and the like.
Their selection is usually pretty good and they do a decent job keeping the store well organized and straightened. The staff is pretty friendly and occasionally someone will come by and make sure that I am finding everything. But the queueing system is a mess. No matter what, I end up in the slowest line when I am buying 2 things. People cut in front and aren’t courteous — it’s annoying and the staff just ignores it.
Overall, other stores do a better job keeping order — this store I tend to visit because I am passing by.

The last time I was inside a Michael’s store it was with my grandmother a few years ago. Needless to say, I’m not a crafter… however, there’s so much more to this place than just arts and crafts.
As Daniel B. pointed out, they do custom framing. I made a note to self for that because Edward L. and I have some portraits I’d like reframed. Depending on the price and turnaround I might just bring them here.
Everything else you could think of using to decorate your home or make custom memories is available at good prices. For Valentine’s Day, my spouse said he wanted 3 things — a cheesy balloon, a cheap box of chocolates, and a scrapbook. Kroger helped with the balloon and I got the chocolates at Walgreens. It must have been my lucky day because scrapbooks and photo albums were on sale 40% off. I got him a great baby blue cloth covered 12×12 that’s expandable. I think he likes it because he’s already been playing with it tonight.
As the saying goes, happy wife, happy life. I think I definitely did well for our first Valentine’s Day together.

HA HA. I started this review Jan 2013.
As i wind down on Unilocal 100 Challenge, its only fitting this be one of the final once I complete.
In the course of a year, I’ve had college degrees framed. Planned numerous get together and purchased glue dots and today, purchased Christmas ornaments, ribbon, and flowers all for 70% off. Thank GOD for smart phones. While sometimes, i get too many text alerts, I look forward to Michael s annual day of 70% off Christmas stuff and probably forwarded the text message to 6 people today.
Of course with it being this time of year, its sorta slim pickings, there’s hardly any Christmas trees left, which doesn’t bother me, cause I have four Christmas trees on hand at any give time. I allow my daughter to come up with her own theme every so often and for some reason this year she wants to decorate in black and silver. She was able to come up with some goodies for her tree, but with it being slim pickings there are some boxes of ornaments I will have to track down tomorrow, because as odd as a black snow Christmas idea is, she was only able to find one box of a particular ornament we both agreed would be fitting.
If you have the app or subscribe to emails there are weekly coupons, normally they are for full purchase items, but sometimes there is a good day, and you get like 25% off and it will include sale items too.
I’m a scrapbooker, and I can always find something to buy. I have a sticker fetish when it comes to scrapbooking. Probably cause I can’t draw, but can come up with some great ideas. They are generally 20−40% off. Sometimes 50%
Ahh, how can I forget Valentines Day. This is my favorite of the Michael’s chain to find items for that holiday. They have the best lil things that I do not always see at other Michael’s.
I’ve had things framed before, and I guess, I’m just one of those people that wish I could frame things myself. One of the college degrees I had framed was $ 170+ Personally, I thought. DAMN… why is it so much, but some people have told me that was average pricing. I then realized that I made my biggest mistake by getting the item framed during a time when they weren’t running a promotion. Currently they have like 60% off plus another 20% off since its the holidays and Im sitting here at 3 in the morning and wondering if I need anything framed.

It seems that no one knows where anything is. It’s the day after Black Friday and I need to find something and I had to ask 3 people, who all radio it in to someone else. No thanks next time.

This review is for Michaels’ custom framing only. I wanted to frame a poster for my office and a coworker recommended Michaels to me because the store always seems to be running various discounts on its framing services. I stopped by the store during my lunch break, walked to the back where the framing department is, and saw signs for 60% off custom framing with the purchase of a custom frame.
I wanted to frame poster art that measured approximately 29×17 inches. The pricing structure can get complicated quickly since there are many factors to consider: size of item to be framed, type of frame, type of glass (regular reflective or non-​reflective acrylic), matting style, etc.
Another factor I had to decide was how the poster was to be set inside the frame. At no charge, they would use some type of adhesive to secure the poster inside the frame. If I were to ever remove the poster from the frame, the adhesive might damage the poster. The alternative, which cost $ 10 extra, was to place the poster inside the frame without adhesive. This way, if I ever wanted to remove the poster from the frame in its original form with no damage, I could. I went with the latter.
I ended up choosing from among the most basic frames and framing options. The original price for the entire service was just over $ 200, but the 60% in-​store discount knocked it down to about $ 85. Wow, I can’t imagine paying full price for this. If you ever get anything framed here, be sure to take advantage of a discount. Call ahead and ask the store or look for coupons online.
Nate G. assisted me with my framing and he was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I had to wait 10 days before my poster was ready. Payment was due up front. The final product looks great. If I had to do it over, I might select the acrylic glass so there’s less glare.

When it came to pick up materials for our masks for an upcoming party I knew this was the place to come. Every time I come into a craft store my inner Martha is called– they have all kinds of crafting supplies including silk flowers, model kits, wedding materials and TONS of frames.
For my wedding last year I bought some lovely ivory hammered paper to make invites (I used my calligraphy pens and my hands hated me afterwards). If you sign up for their rewards emails I frequently get coupons for 20% off regular priced items.
This store in particular is well stocked and I was asked if I needed help my three different associates– that took me by surprise in the best sort of manner. I got a plain base mask and bunch of other fun glittery stuff for ideas. Dan got his handkerchief for his mask. Their prices are competitive and my coupon helped. Went over to the dollar tree in same shopping center for the last item I needed. It’s still not an A.C. Moore but it’s the best store I’ve found in the ATL so far.
How did our projects turn out– you will have to check them out next week. :)

As an artist, designer and crafter, I am already a fan of Michaels. After the boxes I’d shipped to be did not have what I’d expected, I needed to replace some items so that I could get started with my Christmas items. My friend say that Michaels was here in Atlanta, so I found one that was about 17 miles away. There is one closer to me, but after reading the reviews from the locals, I chose this one because I needed to stretch my wings and there is a Ross located in the same shopping center. There is also a PetSmart, T. J Maxx and Marshalls… jackpot. However, after spending my budget limit in Michaels, I will need to visit the other stores next week.
This Michaels had a few things that I wanted, but not everything. There was a specific kind of paper that I was looking for and they did not have it. They did have the Martha Stewart 24 vial glitter set that I was looking for and I managed to get enough textured paper to get me through for now. I will be returning soon to peruse the holiday items.
I’m back in business. I am so excited to be working again after relaxing and exploring the Atlanta area.
Did I mention that I love it here?
