I don't know about you, but it hasn't been that long ago that I remember the jewelry making supply section of my local craft store was maybe half of one side of an isle, if I was lucky. Then, it started growing little by little, filling up a whole side of one isle, then an entire isle, then end caps on isles.

Though scrapbooking is still numero-uno in the craft store industry, we are starting to over take them my fellow jewelry designers! Yippy!

We are talking now on the jewelry making forum about how Michael's in one craft store that really has expanded its supplies section. I only recently got a Michael's close enough to me that it's not a major drive, and I do drop in from time to time to buy supplies, especially if I have a coupon.

What about you? Have the craft stores in your area started to wake up to the jewelry making movement?
