I have a passion for collecting rubber stamps-so just thought I would mention Stamp Cabana at Belz Outlet- which you all may have seen-but I think there is a better one on the OBT just before Florida Mall called Stamp your Art out. I think they carry a better range and are cheaper and they have lots of other little crafty things too-if that's what you are into.
I think Florida has a far better selection of craft things than you ever see over here!

someone after my own heart. My husband took one look at the walls of stamps in "Stamp your art out" (75,000 stamps) and resigned himself to sitting on the settee, watching the "how to" videos for at least a couple of hours. Next time he was more prepared with newspapers etc.

Another good place is Walmart, I can't get past the craft department without having a good browse to see whats new.

I agree Steph, the craft department is great. I always go back with loads of stuff including cotton, zips and lightweight cotton material at 98c a yard to make all my clothes for the next visit. I've been told there's a great craft shop here in Reading but I haven't checked it out yet - I'm afrais it will be a big disappointment

There's also Joann's fabrics on the 192-just pass the old part of Kissimmee.
There's everything in there too. It's a bit set back of the road-so keep your eyes peeled.

I've been trying to think of where Jo'Anns is, they also to "window treatments in a box" so all you have to do is purchase the fabric to complete your window treatments. What is the name of the shopping Mall near it, I keep thinking of Osceola square mall but I can't remember?

I was just looking back over all the shopping tips, (am planning my assault on the unsuspecting shopkeepers of Florida !!)and I came across this thread.
In a previous life (ie before we became obsessed with Florida home ownership!!) I ran a business selling rubber stamps and all the goodies that go along with them and also ran workshops teaching the techniques etc. I have an absolutely ridiculous amount of rubber stamps from dozens of different companies, and just love using them, not that I get much opportunity lately.
It's nice to know that there are other mad Florida obsessed rubber stampers out there <img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle> - I thought I was the only one <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Steph,
Joannes is near the Oseola Mall. I think that there is also a Kash N Karry in the same little area (can't think what you'd call it) as Joannes. If I rememebr correctly, it's somewhere in between the Oseola Mall and Home Depot.

My Big Sis (age not size) is visiting Orlando in April and is looking for Arts/Crafts/Hobby stores.
She is particularly interested in making her own greetings cards etc.
Can anyone recommend suitable locations?
Thanks a lot.
Tony.
There is a great craft store on Internationsl Drive (Kirkman Rd) in the little line of shops behind Sweet Tomatoes Restaurant. It is called Michaels Craft Store. www.michaels.com You can get map of the store from the website and it really does have evrything you could imagine - and not very expensive either!

All the above mentioned ones still apply Tony and we also found a great s c r a p booking store in Clermont last time which we intend revisiting in April its called S c r a p book USA or something similar.
Hi,
Can anyone tell me if any of the craft shops send out magazines. It would be great to have a look through them before we go in Oct.
Also if any of them have a web site I could look at.
As we are into making cards we are hoping to bring back lots of goodies. Thanks for your help.[msnsmile2]

Michaels do so does the s c r a p booking one . (I have to put spaces otherwise the bad language filters blanks out the first part)
www.michaels.com
I think the other one is www.s c r a p bookusainc.com (without the spaces) at least that's where the newslwetters come from
www.stampyourartout.com looks like the one for the shop on OBT but dowesn't appear to be current so I don't know if they are still there.
Hi Steph,
tried the stampyourartout.com, no go. Will have to wait untill I go in Oct. Thanks for the info.

Look forward to hearing from you. Have a great time.

On the subject of crafts, my better half and daughter both use rubber stamps and also die cutters, they do have a sizzix machine for die cutting which I understand is originally from the states.
Does anybody know where these can be purchased within Orlando area, they will both be eternally grateful (and so would I, as I get to go on a day's bass fishing)
Many thanks

Have your other half and daughter seen the Sizzix converter set yet?
I bought one the other day for £13.50, basically it is a large magnet which means the sizes of the dies only needs to be about 1/4 to 1/2" think so they are much easier to store.
It's also enables you to use it for embossing. They have a plastic sleeve with a brass stencil and a plastic moulded copy of the stencil. You place the card between the two and pull the handle down and it is then embossed.
The set comes with a die cutter (mine was an acorn don't know if they are all the same) and a stencil so for that price seemed quite a good deal to me.
Now I've typed all that you'll probably tell me they've had one for months, but I haven't had chance to look at any new things for a while.
Thanks Babblin Boo, Ive just asked them and they didn't know anything about it and have asked me to pass on their thanks....they want to kick me off the PC now to search for it on the net[msncry][msncry]:)
