Woo Hoo!!!!

This is me doing a Happy Worm Dance!!!

Jumping for Joy!!!

I went out at lunch to pick up contact lenses from my docs office. It's across the street from where the AC Moore is opening. I looked on-line (just yesterday) to see when the store was opening, and there was no date. So as I was driving back, I glanced over and saw

a "Now Open" sign!

Woo Hoo!!! I did a crazy turn and drove up. Parked right in front of the door. Apparantly the grand opening is on Sunday, but today is the first day they opened the doors to customers.

I had no idea!!! What an amazing place!!!! There were maybe....30 employees there and 5 customers. Everything was neat and clean and shiney! It even smelled good!!!

The store is fabulous, but the yarn! The yarn!!!

Five neat clean organized walls of yarn! Things I have never seen before! And reasonably priced! There were no sales yet because they haven't officially opened, but I bought a skein of TLC Amore. Just last night I was finishing up a project and decided I needed to trim it in a contrast color. It's sea foam green and all I had was pink. Wasn't thrilled. Well AC Moore had a varigated, sea foam - green that is PERFECT!! I've never even seen it on line!! I bought a skein AND I bought a double sided hook - which I don't know how to use but which I can't get at the other local stores!

I know where I'll be spending my lunch hours! The yarn dept at this store puts the other local chains to shame. It's an hour from my house, but 5 minutes from my job! I think I have a favorite new store!!!

I totally love AC Moore. I spend most of my free time there, what little there is. They have remarkable sales, always have what I want. The classes are wonderful. I just love that store.

I never even looked on their website. I totally love the place.

Classes? Hey, Angie, that is such a great idea! Maybe I can take a class to learn to crochet or knit- I would love that! It just never occurred to me to look for a class in a store- but tomorrow, I want to look at A C Moore!

Delia, it sounds like you'll have a new fun way to spend your lunch hour. Yay!

Cindy, they are always running crochet and knitting classes. And they do a good job too.

Sounds cool...we have Hobby Lobby and Michaels, both of which conduct classes, and Hancock Fabrics, but I've never even heard of AC Moore.

The only time I had heard about it was from Angie mentioning! Love it!!!

I'm thinking about applying to teach crochet at Michael's. I'm not sure if I would be a good teacher, but I think I know the basics well enough to teach them, and I like the idea of employee discount!
