Scrap...they sell just what the name implies...scraps of everything.
I've found leather and fine papers and beads and CD jewel cases. People give to scrap whatever they think someone could use in an art project and then scrap sells it at a minimal charge. It's much more exciting than Michaels because you never know what you'll find.
This is also THE best place to go when it gets near Halloween and you need a costume....costume supplies abound.
Occassionally for a minimal charge Scrap also offers craft classes.
The only problem I have with Scrap is a lack of time to spend as much time there as I'd like...and that's my schedule, not theirs!
