Oh oh, first to rate this place. Ok, so here it goes. Isn't there already a Michaels less than a mile away? I thought this place would be different. Maybe less "crafty" and more hobbies...making stuff from scratch. Where men can buy a band saw and wood. And where there aren't 15 aisles of fake and/or dried flowers for flower arrangements (I didn't realize that was so popular, whatever happened to gardening...real flowers???). Don't take me wrong. I like craft stores. In my spare time (ehem, never) I like to make jewelry, knit, make paper decorations. But there's already plenty of stores that offer supplies. And for half the price. Sorry, I had to bring it up...Hobby Lobby, you are expensive. I was about to walk out with some pretty paper to make Christmas decorations and decided to put it away at the last minute. An hour later I bought the same paper at Walmart for 1/2 the price. It's paper, why the price difference?
My husband didn't get the store either...he thinks the store should offer you supplies to build stuff and go with your imagination, not offer pre-fab stuff for you to "color" so that we all end up with the same decorations in our houses. I think he was hoping for rocket-building kits or something like that. It was definitely more of a girly store...what with it's 15 flower aisles.
