Preamble

         This Amendment No. 33 (this “Amendment”) relates to the Schedule 13D originally filed on June 12, 1984 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as amended by Amendment Nos. 1 through 32 (the “Prior Amendments”) filed between October 26, 1984 and January 28, 2002 (as amended by the Prior Amendments, the “Prior Schedule 13D” and, as amended by this Amendment, the “Schedule 13D”) by Sam Wyly and Charles J. Wyly, Jr. (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) in connection with the common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Michaels Stores, Inc. (“Michaels”). As described in more detail below, the Reporting Persons have re-evaluated whether or not they may be deemed to beneficially own for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 certain shares of Michaels Common Stock, as well as options and warrants to purchase Common Stock, owned by subsidiaries of certain foreign trusts during the applicable years. This Amendment reflects the manner in which Prior Amendments would have been required to have been filed if the Reporting Persons were deemed to have beneficially owned such securities during the applicable years.^1/

         On April 13, 1992, Sam Wyly transferred exercisable options and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 585,000 shares of Common Stock to corporate subsidiaries of the Bulldog Non-Grantor Trust (the “Bulldog Trust”), an irrevocable trust formed under the laws of the Isle of Man that he had established for the benefit of certain charities and, at a future date, his children and issue. In consideration of the options and warrants transferred to the subsidiaries of the Bulldog Trust, those subsidiaries issued to Sam Wyly private annuity agreements under which those subsidiaries agreed to make certain payments to the holder of the agreement during the lifetime of Sam Wyly. The transfer by Sam Wyly of the foregoing options and warrants to subsidiaries of an irrevocable trust was previously disclosed in Amendment No. 18 to the Original Schedule 13D filed on April 23, 1992 and in Michaels’s Proxy Statement dated April 29, 1993.

         On April 13, 1992, Charles J. Wyly, Jr. transferred exercisable options and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 375,000 shares of Common Stock to corporate subsidiaries of the Pitkin Non-Grantor Trust (the “Pitkin Trust” and, together with the Bulldog Trust, the “First Foreign Trusts”), an irrevocable trust formed under the laws of the Isle of Man that he had established for the benefit of certain charities and, at a future date, his children and issue. In consideration of the options and warrants transferred to the subsidiaries of the Pitkin Trust, those subsidiaries issued to Charles J. Wyly, Jr., or his spouse, as applicable, private annuity agreements under which those subsidiaries agreed to make certain payments to the holder of the agreement during the lifetime of Charles J. Wyly, Jr., or his spouse, as applicable. The transfer by Charles J. Wyly, Jr. of the foregoing options and warrants to subsidiaries of an irrevocable trust was previously disclosed in Amendment No. 18 to the Original Schedule 13D filed on April 23, 1992 and in Michaels’s Proxy Statement dated April 29, 1993.^2/ Each of the options and warrants described in this and the preceding paragraph had an exercise price of $3.00 per share and was valued for purposes of the transactions described in such paragraphs at the difference between such exercise price and $20.625 (the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of transfer).

         On April 22, 1992, Lorne House Trust Limited (“Lorne House”), the trustee of the First Foreign Trusts, filed a Schedule 13D disclosing the trustee’s beneficial ownership of the options and warrants transferred by the Reporting Persons to subsidiaries of those

^2/      Amendment No. 18 to the Original Schedule 13D reported that Sam Wyly and Charles J. Wyly, Jr. transferred, respectively, options for 635,000 shares and 325,000 shares to subsidiaries of certain foreign trusts, whereas the Michaels Proxy Statement, dated April 29, 1993, reported that Sam Wyly and Charles J. Wyly, Jr. transferred, respectively, options for 585,000 shares and options for 375,000 shares to those entities. The information contained in the proxy statement is correct. The discrepancy is accounted for by the fact that Sam Wyly was originally granted options to acquire 485,000 shares, as well as a warrant to acquire 150,000 shares and Charles J. Wyly, Jr. was originally granted an option to acquire 325,000 shares; however, Sam Wyly gave Charles J. Wyly, Jr. the right to acquire 50,000 of his warrants, which Charles J. Wyly, Jr. in fact did prior to the transfers described above. This footnote is intended to amend and restate Amendment No. 18 with respect to the number of options and warrants transferred by each of the Reporting Persons.
 
          In addition, there are two other typographical errors in Amendment No. 18, both of which were corrected in the subsequent Schedule 13D amendment. First, Amendment No. 18 discloses that Charles J. Wyly, Jr. owned 780,050 shares directly; that number should have been 788,050. Second, the Amendment tallies the number of shares held by trusts of which Charles J. Wyly, Jr. is the trustee, and reports a total of 801,489. The number should have been 891,489. Both corrections were made in Amendment No. 19.

trusts. On June 3, 1992, Lorne House filed Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D reporting that, after certain transactions involving the options and warrants transferred to the First Foreign Trusts, Lorne House’s beneficial ownership of Common Stock and options to purchase Common Stock was below 5% of the outstanding shares of Michaels Common Stock. According to its website, Lorne House was formed in 1982 under the laws of the Isle of Man and provides trust, corporate and investment services to its clients.

         On December 30, 1995, Sam Wyly directly or indirectly transferred 900,000 options to purchase Common Stock to the Tallulah International Trust (the “Tallulah Trust”), an irrevocable trust formed under the laws of the Isle of Man. ^3/ Sam Wyly established the Tallulah Trust in 1992 for the benefit of his children; and pursuant to an amendment to the trust agreement on December 20, 1995, Sam Wyly, his spouse and his issue also became beneficiaries of the Tallulah Trust. All of the options transferred by Sam Wyly on December 30, 1995 had an exercise price of $17.00 per share. On February 22, 1996, the Tallulah Trust transferred the options to a corporate subsidiary of the Bessie Trust (the “Bessie Trust”), an irrevocable trust established under the laws of the Isle of Man for the benefit, inter alia, of Sam Wyly, his spouse, his children and issue, in exchange for a private annuity agreement under which the corporate subsidiary agreed to make certain payments to the holder of the annuity agreement during the lifetime of Sam Wyly. The December 1995 transfer by Sam Wyly was disclosed in a Form 4 filed by him on January 11, 1996 and in Michaels’s Proxy Statement dated October 23, 1996. When the Tallulah Trust terminated in December 1996, the annuity agreement it received from a subsidiary of the Bessie Trust was distributed to Sam Wyly.

         On December 29, 1995, Charles J. Wyly, Jr. transferred 350,000 options to purchase Common Stock to the Maroon Creek Trust (the “Maroon Creek Trust”), an irrevocable trust formed under the laws of the Isle of Man. On December 30, 1995, he transferred 100,000 options to purchase Common Stock to the Woody International Trust (the “Woody Trust”), an irrevocable trust formed under the laws of the Isle of Man. Charles J. Wyly, Jr. established the Maroon Creek Trust in 1995 for the benefit of Charles J. Wyly, Jr., his spouse, and his issue. Charles J. Wyly, Jr. established the Woody Trust in 1992 for the benefit of his children; and pursuant to an amendment to the trust agreement on December 20, 1995, Charles J. Wyly, Jr. and his spouse and his issue also became beneficiaries of the Woody Trust. All of the options transferred by Charles J. Wyly, Jr. on December 29, 1995 and December 30, 1995 had an exercise price of $17.00 per share. On February 22, 1996, the Maroon Creek Trust transferred 350,000 options to a corporate subsidiary of the Castle Creek International Trust (the “Castle Creek Trust”), an irrevocable trust formed under the laws of the Isle of Man. Charles J. Wyly, Jr. established the Castle Creek Trust in 1992 for the benefit of certain charities and, at a future date, his children and issue. Also on February 22, 1996, the Woody Trust transferred 100,000 options to a corporate subsidiary of the Tyler Trust (the “Tyler Trust”), an irrevocable trust formed under the laws of the Isle of Man. The Tyler Trust was established in 1994 for the benefit of, inter alia, Charles J. Wyly, Jr., his spouse, and his issue. These transfers were in exchange for private annuity agreements under which the corporate subsidiaries agreed to make certain payments to the holder of the annuity agreement during the lifetime of Charles J. Wyly, Jr. The December 1995 transfers by Charles J. Wyly, Jr. were disclosed in a Form 4 filed by him on January 11, 1996 and in Michaels’s Proxy Statement dated October 23, 1996. When the Woody Trust and Maroon Creek Trust terminated in December 1996, the annuity agreements they received from subsidiaries of the Castle Creek Trust and The Tyler Trust were distributed to Charles J. Wyly, Jr.

         As of March 29, 1996, Michaels entered into a private placement transaction to sell 433,333 shares of Common Stock for cash to a corporate subsidiary of the Bessie Trust, and 900,000 shares of Common Stock for cash to a corporate subsidiary of the Bulldog Trust. The purchase price was $12.50 per share. This transaction was described in a Michaels press release dated March 29, 1996 and disclosed in Michaels’s Proxy Statement dated October 23, 1996 and in Michaels’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 1997. On December 24, 1996, Michaels entered into a private placement transaction to sell options to purchase 1,333,333 shares of Michaels Common Stock for cash to a corporate subsidiary of the La Fourche Trust (the “La Fourche Trust”), an irrevocable trust which had been established under the laws of the Isle of Man for the benefit of, inter alia, Sam Wyly, his spouse, and his issue. This transaction was described in a Michaels press release dated December 26, 1996 and disclosed in Michaels’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 1997. The options were purchased for $0.50 per share and entitled the holder to purchase shares for $10.50 per share.

         As of March 29, 1996, Michaels entered into a private placement transaction to sell 666,667 shares of Common Stock for cash to a corporate subsidiary of the Castle Creek Trust. The purchase price was $12.50 per share. This transaction was described in a Michaels press release dated March 29, 1996 and disclosed in Michaels’s Proxy Statement dated October 23, 1996 and in Michaels’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 1997. On December 24, 1996, Michaels entered into a private placement transaction to sell options to purchase 666,667 shares of Michaels Common Stock for cash to a corporate subsidiary of the Red Mountain Trust

(the “Red Mountain Trust”), an irrevocable trust which had been established under the laws of the Isle of Man for the benefit of, inter alia, Charles J. Wyly, Jr., his spouse, and his issue. This transaction was described in a Michaels press release dated December 26, 1996 and disclosed in Michaels’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 1997. The options were purchased for $0.50 per share and entitled the holder to purchase shares for $10.50 per share. Each of the press releases referred to in this and the previous paragraph disclosed, inter alia, that the securities involved (Common Stock for the March transactions and options to purchase Common Stock for the December transactions) were sold to “separate entities owned by independent trusts of which Wyly family members are beneficiaries.”

         The Tyler Trust, the Castle Creek Trust, the Red Mountain Trust, the Bessie Trust, and the La Fourche Trust are collectively referred to as the “Second Foreign Trusts” and, together with the First Foreign Trusts, as the “Foreign Trusts.”^4/

         On January 2, 1997, Trident Trust Company (IOM) Limited (“Trident”), then the trustee of the Red Mountain Trust and the La Fourche Trust, filed a Schedule 13D disclosing the trustee’s beneficial ownership of the options purchased in the December 24, 1996 transactions. On May 20, 1997, Trident filed Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D disclosing certain transactions that took place on February 25 and 28, 1997. On December 12, 1997, Trident filed Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D reporting that, after certain transactions undertaken between October 22 and December 9, 1997, Trident’s beneficial ownership of shares and options to purchase shares of Michaels Common Stock was below 5% of the outstanding shares of Michaels Common Stock. According to its website, Trident has provided trust, corporate, investment and other services for over 25 years to professional advisors, financial institutions, corporations and high net worth families worldwide.

         Since December 30, 1995, the Reporting Persons have not transferred any Michaels Common Stock or options to the Foreign Trusts or the subsidiaries thereof. Since December 24, 1996, the Foreign Trusts and their subsidiaries have not acquired Michaels Common Stock or options from Michaels (except upon the exercise of Michaels options). The subsidiaries of the Foreign Trusts holding Michaels Common Stock or options have from time to time since December 24, 1996 exercised Michaels options and sold Michaels Common Stock in the market. The subsidiaries of the Foreign Trusts holding Michaels Common Stock and options have also from time to time since that date transferred Common Stock and options to subsidiaries of the same or other Foreign Trusts.

         During the period after April 13, 1992 covered by the Prior Amendments, the Reporting Persons did not consider the holdings of the Foreign Trusts or their subsidiaries for purposes of calculating their beneficial ownership of Michaels Common Stock or report such beneficial ownership in their Prior Amendments to Schedule 13D. Recently, a question has been raised as to whether the Reporting Persons should have included the holdings of the corporate subsidiaries of the Foreign Trusts in their Prior Amendments to Schedule 13D and the Reporting Persons have re-evaluated whether or not they may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of the Michaels Common Stock and options legally owned by the Foreign Trusts or their subsidiaries. Because the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of the Common Stock and options held by subsidiaries of the Foreign Trusts for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, they are filing this Amendment No. 33 to the Original Schedule 13D.

         This Amendment No. 33 amends and supplements the Prior Schedule 13D to reflect (i) the additional information that would have been required to be reported in the Prior Amendments if each of the Reporting Persons was deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Michaels Common Stock, options and warrants held by the subsidiaries of the Foreign Trusts for which he was a settlor or beneficiary; (ii) the further amendments to Schedule 13D that would have been required to be filed after April 13, 1992, if each of the Reporting Persons was deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Michaels Common Stock, options and warrants held by the subsidiaries of the Foreign Trusts for which he was a settlor or beneficiary; and (iii) the transactions in Michaels Common Stock of the subsidiaries of the Foreign Trusts occurring after April 13, 1992 that the Reporting Persons would have been required to report if each of the Reporting Persons was deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Michaels Common Stock, options and warrants held by the subsidiaries of the Foreign Trusts for which he was a settlor or beneficiary.

         This Amendment No. 33 does not include any Common Stock or options beneficially owned by Evan Wyly, Sam Wyly’s son, nor any Common Stock or options that Evan Wyly may be deemed to beneficially own by virtue of any relationship to the Foreign Trusts (and subsidiaries thereof). Sam Wyly disclaims any beneficial interest in the Common Stock or options beneficially owned or that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Evan Wyly.

ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

         As disclosed above in the Preamble, the consideration used by subsidiaries of the Foreign Trusts to make purchases of Michaels options from the Reporting Persons was the issuance of private annuity agreements. Also as disclosed in the Preamble, when the Maroon Creek Trust, the Woody Trust and the Tallulah Trust terminated, the annuity agreements each had received from the subsidiaries of the Foreign Trusts in exchange for Michaels options were distributed to the relevant Reporting Person. The consideration used by certain subsidiaries of the Foreign Trusts in both the private placement transactions between those subsidiaries and Michaels, and the consideration used by those subsidiaries to purchase Common Stock upon the exercise of Michaels options, took the form of cash. The cash was generally derived from the working capital of the relevant subsidiaries of the Foreign Trusts (including from the sale of United Sates government securities owned by such subsidiaries).

Pursuant to the terms of the prepaid forward, Bank of America paid Devotion $25,045,589.50 and in exchange Devotion agreed to deliver to the bank a variable portion of the 800,000 shares depending on the closing price of the Common Stock when the forward matured in September 2007.

ITEM 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

     The Foreign Trusts were established under the laws of the Isle of Man. Under the terms of the Foreign Trusts, the trustees generally have the sole power, among other things, to direct the acquisition or disposition of trust assets (including decisions to purchase or sell securities), the voting of securities held as trust assets, and the distribution of trust assets to beneficiaries. The subsidiaries of the Foreign Trusts generally have one or more directors, officers or managing agents; these generally are persons affiliated with the corporate trustees. The documents establishing the Foreign Trusts also generally provide for the appointment of one or more protectors (the “Committee”) to provide advice to the trustees. Under the terms of the Foreign Trusts, the Committee had the power in each instance to remove or replace the trustees; in addition, in some but not all instances, the Committee had the power to consent to the appointment or exclusion of a beneficiary, to consent to a distribution and/or to inspect the trust’s books and records. The number and persons who have served on the Committee have changed over time. The persons who have served on the Committee have had various business relationships with the Reporting Persons. The Reporting Persons have communicated with the Committee from time to time concerning, among other things, potential transactions involving shares, and options and warrants to purchase shares, of Michaels Common Stock, and voting of shares of Michaels Common Stock. As a general matter, the Committee has made recommendations to the trustees concerning transactions involving shares, and options and warrants to purchase shares, of Michaels Common Stock, and voting of shares of Michaels Common Stock. The subsidiaries of the Foreign Trusts generally have taken action consistent with those recommendations.
