Hello Blogosphere!!!
For lunch on Tuesday, I ventured to Northern Seattle to Redmond to visit with my dear blogging friend, Amy Tsuruta! I think I gave her the biggest bear hug ever and actually picked her up off her feet! LOL! She’s an itty bitty!
We just happened to stop by Ben Franklin Crafts & Frame Shop enroute to Starbucks 
Here’s a picture of Amy and me! I think I resized something wrong in PSE, so sorry! She is JUST as sweet, beautiful, and personable in person as she is online! So glad I live next to her 
This store is located near MANY hot spots including Trader Joe’s and Starbucks.
The store is Ha-UGE! This side is all home decor/floral!
They have many different types, sizes, and shaped canvases.
Part of their Paper Crafting section.
Everything is organized by category, except the new releases!
This is just their solids….
ispy Campy Trails from American Crafts!
The new Lush line from My Mind's Eye!
stickles, twinkles, and smooches, oh my!

This store is phenomenal! They have something for everyone! I love that they carry the latest and greatest from manufacturers. They even carry the Melody Ross Chip Art tools/accessories AND the new We R Memory Keepers Sew Easy tool. I only wish they carried more clear stamps…
I hope you enjoyed today’s featured store. The store offers many free classes to customers and a wide range of inexpensive classes as well. It would be a dream come true to teach a Lawn Fawn class or ANY class at a store like this.
Stay tuned for A Muse, Impress, Scrapbook Nook, and MORE!
