    All things festive

    I wanted to get a Latch Hook item in the store (saw them online), however I could not find any, so I just did some browsing instead. I like that they have a whole yarn and embroidery section - maybe I should transition to that craft instead. Although, I'm actually glad I didn't purchase anything because as I was leaving the store, I noticed a rather long line of 10 to 15 customers waiting to check out, and this was close to the holiday season.

    Excellent team at this location. I have had many pieces framed here over the years and I am so happy with how they turned out! The framers here have an excellent eye for design. They are also genuinely kind people who are clearly working at a job that they care about. Compared to other framers, Michael's has the best price as well.

    Pro: self check out, big parking lot, clean environment, Con: only 1 cashier. Micheals are the go to store for all art & craft supplies. This location has a lot of parking space and is near other amenities. The store is clean and the staff is friendly. There is only 1 cashier but there are 4 self check out station. All in all, a decent place to buy some stuff as needed.

    I've lived in Aspen Hill since 2002 and have always enjoyed every trip to this store. I've bought everything from art supplies for school to the apron and shirt for my past restaurant job. When I was in need of a picture frame to memorialize my recently deceased dog, Blue, I couldn't have gone to a better place with the selection and variety of Michael's. And not that anyone cares, but my next door neighbor, Frank, was the general manager of this place for a good chunk of time.

    I went to the Aspen Hill Michael's carrying several art items that need to be framed. As described below, I was SO offended by the pricing and policies that I left without placing any framing orders! Amongst the policies, published discounts are ONLY applicable IF you buy a custom frame . BTW, I am not certain, but I think the framing operation within at least this Michael's store is an outside company. IF SO, they need to charge enough for their own profit and to pay Michael's! The first item I wanted framed is a fairly small print (maybe 4 x 8 inches. My wife and I bought this artwork several years ago. At that time, I also bought a simple frame for it from Michael's. The only issue keeping me from inserting the artwork into the frame is that the mat had windows precut for 3 small photos (see attached image). I needed and asked that the framing people use that window mat and cut it the correct size for a single artwork. I was flatly told that they "do not use" customer materials. I HAD to buy a mat from them! By the time they calculated the cost of the mat and placing the artwork in MY frame, the price was over $40 ... OUTRAGEOUS! I DECLINED. Years ago, I did my own mat cutting, mounting and framing. I still own the equipment and will take care of this myself! Of course, not everyone has a mat cutter. The second piece that I presented for custom matting, mounting and framing was a 6" x 8" Shutterfly family photo sent by my daughter in a frame that I did not like for the purpose (it is thick and black - not suitable for a joyous family image in my opinion - but very suitable for a black and white photo). It required something like an 11" x 14" frame. See attached image. As my wife and I considered various mat boards and frame designs, the price was skyrocketing. In the end, having discarded a "linen" mat board because of the expense, the proposed custom matting, mounting and framing came to around $300! Again, SO OUTRAGEOUS that I declined. My wife and I bought an off the shelf frame. Not quite what I had in mind, but suitable for a joyous family image. With whatever discount* Michael's was offering that day, the price was around $30. We went home ... I removed the image from the heavy black frame along with its precut mat and placed it in the new frame. Took me less than 15 minutes and that long only because I wanted to get it perfect! I added a hanging wire and voila! Michael's does a fairly common business practice that I personally find heinous. Their off the shelf prices are very high. But the Michael's chain offers various discounts that change frequently. In order to benefit from these discounts, a customer MUST check their website virtually daily! BTW, the discount CHANGES virtually daily. I saved 20% off the shelf price of the frame. The next day the discount was 30% but I did not feel like driving back to get the additional 10% savings. BOTTOM LINE - unless you do not care about your money, do NOT use the custom framing in the Aspen Hill Michael's. I have no idea of the pricing at other Michael's or at any other custom framing store. It is possible that their outrageous prices are in line with others. If so, that does NOT ameliorate my outrage. In a strange way, they did me a favor. At almost 76, I will be relearning how to cut mats!

    I brought two posters to be framed at this location. The posters are now framed and look like "a million bucks".

    Great place squeezed into a busy little shopping area. We were looking for a specific Magic the…read moreGathering commander deck and this place had it, and had it for cheaper than anyone! It was cheaper than Amazon by and they gave us a cash discount on top of the great price. The guys working there were friendly and super helpful. Great experience - the only downside was the parking lot is tight and crowded. Not the stores fault though, so still a 5 star experience...

    never once felt like I left the store getting a good deal almost feels like unless you're in there…read moreevery day and you're one of their friends you're not gonna get a good deal. but the last time I left, I felt completely scammed had cards worth around $300 maybe more was offered about 65 and with pressured into the deal in the end, I guess that's my fault should've stood my ground but after about 20 minutes of being told cards that I had got from them were in terrible condition. I traded about half my stack of cards and took back the other half to trade somewhere else upon trading somewhere else I was told the cards were in great shape and was offered around $200. Four different occasions I've gone in paid over market price walk away unhappy but because they have such a big selection it's one of the only places you can go... I don't recommend if you have somewhere else you can go
