Amazing how many times I've been here when I'm not really an arts&craftsy kind of person.  Sure, I'd love to be.  I'm just not.  

My favorite time was for a bit of an arts & Crafts work project - creating 1st, 2nd and 3rd place ribbons for the office olympics.  (And yes, they were hilarious.  And No, I don't have pictures.)

The ladies there have always been helpful when I needed it.  What I love most about this place is how it's more like an old Cloth World than a spiffy new Jo-Ann.  I'm sure one day this location will get the big make over, but I kinda like that it hasn't yet.  Then again, I've never seen more than 3-4 people in here at a time so it might not make sense for them to put the money in redoing it.  While it may not be good for business, it's nice to go somewhere that isn't so busy when you need a little bit of extra help.  Especially if you're just buying sequins and fabric glue on your lunch break.

This Jo-Ann's isn't your best bet, but if you're in a bind and desperately need some sequins, fabric or puffy paint, it'll do.

This Jo-Ann's is smaller than its heralded cousin at Desert Ridge and it's usually a little messier too.  Last time I went, there were two little boys with pieces of fabric on their heads running up and down the aisles.  Who knows where their parents were but they only added to the mess.

Despite this, I did find what I was looking for and I didn't feel as if they were overpriced or anything.

The staff was very helpful too, and they took me right to the item I was looking for and even recommended another great product too.
