Calling All Crafters! Which store is best?

[bazzanoid]

Evening all!

We're planning on visiting a craft store while in orlando, but may not be able to fit more than one in... so calling all crafters!!! Not interesting in scrapbooking, but we buy a lot of supplies for making our own cards. Which store is best (and why!)

Jo-Ann
Michaels
Hobby Lobby
Scrappy Boutique
Tuesday Morning

... or something else?

Given the length of our shopping list it's looking likely a trip to the craft store will be followed by a trip to the nearest FedEx office

I think you should post this in the Creative DISign forum as well. You'll have the benefit of some local knowledge on there too

my personal preference is Hobby Lobby for a few reasons...

They generally have a better selection of craft stuff

They are cheaper then the others

You can pull a 40%off coupon from your phone

They are a family run christian based company with a careful mindset of not adding to urban sprawl. (They as a rule don't ever put a store in a brand new building. They make a point to re-use abandoned shopping spaces often saving the shopping center they move into)

Cool thanks guys! I think Hobby Lobby it is!!

You can also get coupons from both Joanns and Michaels if you sign up for their emails. Just in case you were thinking of going to Scrappy Boutique, unfortunately it is now closed. Walmart also sell a small range of craft stuff.
