    Hi Sophie: I visited the one in Gaylord last summer. BFF and I were on a road trip. We both bought some neat panels to make earth friendly recycling bags. I use them for my cans and bottles. Wish I had gotten more of them. Did the blizzard hit you up north? Penny in Kalamazoo
    I am in the UP of Michigan. The blizzard in south of us - mostly in the lower peninsula. We are having a bright sunny day. Kind breezy and cold. I heard Kalamazoo really got hit. Hope you are all safe and warm.

    We got about 12", not nearly as bad as predicted. DH and I, with help from John Deere, got it all cleaned up. Sunny and clear now, but secondary roads still not opened. All schools and many businesses were closed, but imagine will be business as usual tomorrow.

    Ours closed at least 8 yrs ago. I miss it. I could at that time try Walmart for fabric, Hobby Lobby, & Ben Franklin all in the same shopping center. Only have Hobby Lobby left.

    I think that WM ran them out in most areas, them and Michaels and JoAnns. Too bad, they have been a good craft store

    I love the Ben Franklin in Fayetteville, WV. They have lots of nice fabric. About an hour and 20 minutes from home.
