My DSIL went with me to JoAnn's during one of his Dad's chemo treatments, and before we left the store he was already getting sick. I felt so bad. Had I known that fragrances bother him, I never would have gone in there, even for a minute. They have all their candle and fragrance oils up near the front of the store, so you can't avoid it. So, yup, I know just what you mean. how is Michael's for that, I wonder?
