Review from Kat F.

If you see me on the street please promptly toss me in the klink, cause it's a crime that I haven't yet reviewed this place.
Make no mistake, I am NOT a scrapbooker.
But how can I deny the awesomeness of the availability of so many easily repurposable (?) crafting tools?
1) Ribbons. I'm squealing with delight as I think about the ribbon choices alone. Beautiful 0.5-1" satin ribbon in all sorts of patterns that's perfect for hairbands and sewing projects. And CHEAP, unlike Mokuba. Like $1/metre or less!
2) Scrapbook squares. (I'm sure there's an official terminology for this) Perfect for stuffing into album cover frames and hanging as artwork. Literally thousands of patterns to choose from, and most are double sided.
3) Thumbtacks (many sizes). Great for hanging a valence or other lightweight curtain.
4) Rubber stamps. Exactly what I was looking for to complete a ghetto wallpaper/wall decal idea. Hundreds of different stamps available - images, letters, phrases, etc.
You'll most certainly be overwhelmed on your first visit. This place should be renamed "Scrapbooking Emporium" - it's like the Costco of scrapbooking. -

Maybe I'm an innocent urbanite, but this is the biggest scrapbook store I've ever been in. They have a huge selection of stickers, papers, albums, and tools. They also run classes.

i guess my standards have gone up after going to the paper place. this place seems pretty austere when you walk in. it's like those makeshift bookstores in the mall (more specifically, dufferin mall). don't get me wrong, there's plenty of craft supplies in here but it just seemed a bit depressing.
