Milwaukee/Brookfield, Wi. scrap shops

[lilpunkin]

We're planning a trip to Wi. next month and will be in the Milwaukee/Brookfield area...are there any good shops in that area that you could suggest?

Well, I haven't been there for awhile but this is (and hopefully still is) a craft store called Creative Pals on Bluemound - 18900 W Bluemound. Farther east (closer to but on the other side of the street from Brookfield Square) there is both a Michaels and a really nice Super Joann Fabrics.

Creative Pals is great--It is the home store for Whipper Snapper stamps. here is the link: Creative Pals

If you are on the south side of town, there is a LSS in Greenfield--it is a new store and very cool! The Scrapbook Store

Also, on the southside, there is a great Joann's by Southridge Mall--it is a bit bigger than the one on Bluemound.

If you head north--Cedarburg is a cute town for shopping and also has a scrapbook store.

In Mukwonago, south east of Milwaukee, you'll find Polkadots and More. Check out their website PolkaDotsandMore.

Creative Pals ROCKS and you'll find it in the Galleria West shopping center. But don't empty your wallets there. Stop at Kopp's for lunch and don't pass up their homemade frozen custard. There is also a JoAnn Fabrics Superstore in Brookfield on the right side of the road. You'll pass it and Michael's on the way to Creative Pals.

If you feel like venturing out, the scrapbook store in Cedarburg is HUGE. It's called Legacy and is found on Washington Avenue, the main drag. Lots of other shopping (and ice cream) in Cedarburg. Fond du Lac has Scrapbook Cottage and they have tons of Tim Holtz stuff. You'll also find a Hobby Lobby in Racine on Hwy. 20 (exit 333).

Oh, we Cheeseheads are such enablers!! Have a great trip
