I think Michaels do arts and crafts but I don't know where the nearest one is as I have only been to one on the Gulf coast[:I]

There is a Michaels on International Drive - next door to books a million - just behind Funzone. They looked like they were also opening one at the junction of OBT and Sandlake Road.

It may be a bit of a trek but a visit to Mt Dora north of Clermont is the ideal place and if you time it right during October they have an Arts and Crafts weekend.

There is a closer Michaels near to the Florida Mall at the new shopping Mall at the junction of OBT and Sand Lake road.

Jo-Anns fabric also has a craft section and for Memory albums and supplies there is a great shop on the way to Clermont (near the Home Depot on 50).

Walmart has the best value though for most things.

www.joanns.com

will give her a preview of some of the things they do, like most online stores though there is a lot more to look at in the store. There may be other locations for her to check as well.

Karen is very much into her crafts.

Michaels is a must, even i enjoy it. The place is massive, i think the one at the top end of I-drive, near Belz Factory Outlet store is easist to get to.

Also if you visit, historic Kissimmee, there is a crossstitch shop, very friendly.

A lot of the facotry outlet stores have small areas for craft items. We even found some at the flea markets.

We were in the new Jo-Ann's at the junction of 535 and 192 last week. They have at least as much as Michaels and may be more. I would try this one first.

Heather,
there's a good needlepoint shop going east on the 192, about 1/4 mile past medieval times/wal mart. Sew'n things i think. There's also a new michaels going to open at the new strip mall/ cinema on the junction of John Young and Osceola Parkway. I've got an october date stuck in the brain for grand opening.
