Last night I had the pleasure of attending an event at my local Michaels store over in Saugus, Massachusetts. I was invited, along with a group of other area bloggers, to tour the store and try my hand at a fun paper crafting project. They taught us how to make these fun Boston skyline pieces:
If you’re interested in making your own, all you have to do is trace the skyline on the back of a piece of scrapbook paper. Then cut it out with an X-Acto knife, and glue it to a black canvas. Easy peasy! They showed us how it’s done in their newly-renovated classroom area:
And yes, there was indeed a reason for all this excitement… 27 area Michaels stores have received major facelifts, re-doing everything from the layout of the stores, to the signage, to what the employees wear to work – red.
And here’s the really exciting part – many locations, including the Saugus store, are throwing a big bash on Sunday to celebrate their new look! And if Sunday is anything like last night, it will be a blast. So if you live in the Boston area, you might want to check it out. Here are the deets:
