I went to my local JoAnns which is CLOSING after the first of the year, they are closing two in the TOLEDO area....boo hoo. I hear they are opening another one, across from a very busy mall and lots of traffic. I like mine close to my home, no traffic easy in and out...but I did go to all 3 local JoAnns yesterday, and have not added up my receipts yes but I know I spent over 250.00 and I did but a ott light, and lots and lots of flannel, plus 9 yards of batting...should keep me busy for awhile, because I will rarely travel to the new store, guess if I need thread or anything, Walmart is close by still.
