Beautiful papers, and I am sure you will make magic with them. Here is what my best guess is as to if Michaels is selling Crafters Companion in the stores. They sell all different brands on their online website, Crafters Companion, Echo Park, Graphic 45 but they don't have a place for them in the stores because they make more margin with their proprietary brands. But if someone buys something they can return them to the store. Now the item is immediately marked down to move it out, so that is why the great price. The universe wanted you to have them. And for free too! That's fantastic!
