| - Do you have hobbies? Do you like crafty lobbies? Is your name Bobby and you like to drink hot toddies? Okay, that last one didn't rhyme, but check it out: cold weather is on the horizon and for me that means it's time to craft it up. I'm no Martha, nor do I want to be, but from time to time, I feel the creative urge and need to get my craft on.
Today I was simply looking for some cheap lamp shades to cover my St. Vinnie's finds, and I was also on the lookout for clearance mirrors and maybe a blackboard. Holy Mod Podge! This store really has it all. Framing supplies, poster/foam board, paint and pens of all kinds, beads, yarn, fabric, and a ghastly array of "silk" flowers. If you're ever looking for a wedge of fake cheese, get it here! :)
So, for selection and diversity of supplies, I would give Hobby Lobby a shining five stars. However, the prices aren't the best. Although there were "50% off" signs blanketing the shelves, I still don't want to pay $20 for a lamp shade. I'm cheap. There's a well-stocked clearance section on the back wall, but it's hit-and-miss. For example, today there was glut of Hannah Montana school supplies. But there were also super cheap fabric remnants and a paint-by-numbers kit. I almost fell victim to the kitsch.
Perhaps they have online coupons like Jo-Ann Fabrics? That would sweeten the deal. Until then, have a good crafternoon!
