Okay. I know that Utah is scrapbook's golden egg. I will be outside of Salt Lake City (Providence). I have seen a MME warehouse and a few others I recognize. My friend who lives around there says that some of the places are closed (no real schedule for some) whenever she is in the area. Can anyone recommend some good scrappy shopping within say an hour or two of SLC? I like warehouses and other discounted stores. I am not opposed to a LSS, but we have some great ones around here and I would like to see a few warehouses. Anywhere you have been recently? I'll check store hours when it gets closer to the time I'll be there (in March).

Warehouse store is in Orem. They are open Tue-Sat. It's about 45 minutes south of SLC, but worth the drive!

I agree, American Crafts Warehouse is worth the drive. Hope you have plenty of room in your luggage. Also in Orem just down State Street from AC Warehouse is Pebbles, great scrapbook store. And then on University Parkway is Tuesday Morning, Joann's, Hobby Lobby and Michaels. Too much fun! If you are interested there is a Minky Couture store on State Street, think super soft blankets. We had Indian Food at Kohinoor on State Street for lunch, really good!

Yes, AC Warehouse is worth the trip. Just don't go on Monday because they are closed. Their hours Tue-Sat are 10-6. Take your time, there are many good buys.
I have to force myself to stay away, but it's just down the street from me and is between my home and my school. Such temptation!
Let me know if I can be of help to you.

My friend's daughter lives in Providence and they drive out several times a year. They are going back out in April, so if we buy too much to go in the luggage, they can haul it back in the motor home 6 weeks later. There is a new baby in the mix, so I am not sure how long our excursions will be. |

Providence? As in Cache County? It's quite a distance from SLC. The SEI warehouse store used to be open during the week, then only on Saturdays, now not at all.  Now, there's Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and JoAnns in the Logan area. The AC warehouse is over 2 hours away from Providence (south). I haven't been there, but want to!!! Just Bee' Scrappin, now called Crafting Chaos (I believe) is on main street in Brigham. It's a combination of crafts sold by local people and scrapbook supplies. It is a fun place to browse, but not discounted supplies, but not overpriced. There's great parking behind the store. If you stop there, get some chocolate at Idle Aisle or you can eat at their restaurant (Idle Aisle Cafe). The chocolate place is across the street and the restaurant is down the street from Crafting Chaos. They have a fun old fashioned soda fountain counter at the front. Simple Stories has a scrapbook store in Ogden, Utah. I cannot seem to find the information. It's called Memory, Memories....something? It's next to the warehouse, but it's not discounted supplies. It is current stuff. I believe it's around 12th street and it's easy to get off of I-15, it is a bit odd to find because there's other warehouses in the same complex. There really isn't any exceptional scrapbook stores left in Utah with lots of selection. |

If you like looking for home decor stuff, Tai Pan Trading in Logan is a fun place to browse. There are other locations South of there.

I'm currently in Salt Lake City for a few days. I may have a chance to go shopping here tomorrow or Monday. I really don't have time to make a drive to Orem area, so I am hoping to find scrapping stores in Salt Lake City.
I did a google search, and it looks like there is a store called Mom and Me. Any others?
I will be back in June, at which time I hopefully can try Orem, just not this trip.

I have no scrapping friends near by, but I do have a cousin that comes from Wyoming and I might meet her there. She's usually there both days. I mainly go for the shopping! |

Two of my sisters live in WVC. refugeepea , I spent a lot of time on the road between Orem and Burley at the end of my parents' lives. I have not really looked into the Expo this year but I will do that. We are planning a trip to CA to see our daughter in April, so will have to work around that. If either of you get clear down this way to go to the AC Warehouse, PM me and I'll meet up with you and buy you lunch. scrapnnana, the same goes for you when you have time to come clear down here!

Now, there's Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and JoAnns in the Logan area. The AC warehouse is over 2 hours away from Providence (south). I haven't been there, but want to!!!
