I am travelling from Calgary, Alberta, Canada to Phoenix, AZ next week for one week and wondering if anyone has any craft stores they recommend & that I must go to. And also if there are any coupons that I can print out & bring with me. Any suggestions for good restaurants & outlet malls too???? Thank you so much if anyone has any suggestions.
On the east side of the valley in Mesa there are Scrapbooks Etc. and Scrapbook Barn. On the west side there is Scrap Happy Sisters and Crop Girls. I'm sure that there are a few others, but these are the ones that I've been to. Scrapbooks Etc. is HUGE!!! Scrap Happy Sisters is probably the smallest. They are all wonderful big or small.
Do a google for scrapbooks stores in AZ and look for these stores. Have fun.

You will definitely want to take the time to go Scrapbooks ETC. It is located in Mesa, but it is well worth the trip. Just to clarify, they do not have a huge selection of stamps, but they have EVERYTHING else you might need or want. It is owned by the same people that own Bazzill!
Don't know if you have a Hobby Lobby up there, but if not it is definetly worth checking out. I'm not sure where you will be staying but there is a new one in Scottsdale/Paradise Valley and a new one in Glendale (on the westside).
In old town Scottsdale there is a store called the Frenzy Stamper....it's small, but they have a good selection of stamps (different, not necessary the traditional stamps you might see elsewhere) as well as a small collection of Copic markers if you are into them.
HTH...(BTW....Scrapbook Etc...is a must--especially if you are a paper hoarder! LOL!)
Thank you everyone for your help & advice. I definitely will hit Scrapbook Etc for sure. And I am a paper horder big time...LOL!!! I'm not sure where we are staying as I don't have the address yet but will tomorrow as I have to ask my sis. Hopefully Scrapbook Etc is not that far away.
Another vote for Scrapbooks Etc. in Mesa---the best scrapbook store I've EVER been in. I could have spend hours in there but DH would have suffocated in the car in the AZ heat LOL!
I notice you'll be coming down from Canada. You might also want to check out stores such as Big Lots (I was at one in Scottsdale), Joann's crafts (there are a few in the Phoenix area I went to) and AC Moore (can't remember if there are any).
Even places like Target etc. carry good scrapbooking stuff compared to the limited selection we get up here at Michaels.
Scrapbook Store in Phoenix, AZ???
