So Hobby Lobby is the only craft store I have to choose from in my area...don't get me wrong I love it there and have spent a lot of money there, but I just wish I had some variety!! But anyway, I've been waiting for another scrapbooking sale so I can get paper at 50% off for all my favor tags and place cards, since I'm just making all of those; then I've been waiting for another bridal event sale when all the bridal stuff is 50% off so I can get the rest of my clear pillow boxes for my favors....well what do ya know!! It's both this week!! hahaha I have school all week but I might have to leave early tomorrow and raid Hobby Lobby b/4 I go to school!!!

Just thought I'd share...I'm soooooooo excited!!!
12 weeks!!!

I saw the Hobby Lobby ad this morning and was excited, too. I need the rest of the paper for my programs and my MOH's mom just recently turned me into a scrapbook junkie. YAY for sales.

Don't forget to look on their website. http://www.hobbylobby.com/ Look under Weekly Specials. They always have coupons you can print. Sometimes it's for 40% off anything. Other times its for one particular category. Luckily, they change every week. :)

Everyone keeps talking about Hobby Lobby on this site and it makes me wish we had one here in WA...

And a very good Question too. I was wondering the same thing. Even though there's none of those stores in the UK. Although i have looked at Hobby Lobby and so wished they had one here. There's nothing better than a bargain.

I went looking for stuff in a local Market Town. But first i got all my prices from eBay including the Postage and Packaging. And even with P&P it was still cheaper on eBay. Where the bidding war is the fun part :winktongue:

I think the pricing is similar to Michael's. I don't shop for craft supplies at JoAnn's, their selection is extremely limited where I live. It seems that Hobby Lobby just has more "stuff" that is 50% off. I don't think Michael's ever has their bridal aisle half-off. I don't think they've had their scrapbook paper half-off, either. Okay, let me restate: Hobby Lobby is better than Michael's because their stuff seems to be on-sale at 50% off a LOT more than Michael's! I've bought candles, paper, jewelry-making supplies, and flowers all at Hobby Lobby when it's on sale.

Poor Mitch...we should kidnap you and bring you to the US for a week to do some craft shopping. Like an OW convention!!
