I Love Michaels,I shop there often, Right now I’m crafting out of a room the size of a closet,will be moving into a larger room soon and could really use this. It’s to cold to go out to the wood shop to work.So I’ll be holding my breath and crossing my toes that I win.
Please note everyone. Michael’s is hosting this giveaway on their Facebook page, not CraftGossip! The link to Michael’s facebook page is included in the post above.
I enjoy Michael’s as a one stop crafting, do it yourself store.
