Does anyone know of any scrapbook shops in America?

Next week I am on holiday in America, so many people have told me that scrapbooking in America is cheaper! If so where is the best shop/stores to go to.

Thanks

Second what expat and Califrau say. If you love scrapbooking that much, bring an empty suitcase as you'll probably need it

I loved Michaels.

Sigh.

Have discovered there is one in Arizona where we are going, but not sure if we are anywhere near it! Have to wait and see!

My sister is a far better seamstress than I am, Calif!

My niece just had a 'Pink Pool Party' for her bday today and my sister sewed her a tropical print sarong/wrap over the shoulder dress .

Of course, I don't envy them the fact that it's 100 degrees there with a 107 degree heat index just now and I'm sitting with the windows open and a jumper on.

Jo-Anns - everyone on etsy raves about it. I think it is a crafter's heaven tbh. SEI scrapbooking stuff is fab (I love the buttons, but they are a nightmare to get over here in all of the colours so I am very of you!!!)

I'm off to stomp about in a really grumpy manner now

Still, I have my order from EyeletOutlet.com to look forward to...

GreatGooglyMoogly · 14/08/2007 20:14

There is a good scrapbooking section in A.I. Friedman too.

GreatGooglyMoogly · 14/08/2007 20:16

Sorry, I've just checked and they are only in NY.

Thanks
