Do you live in a town/city or near one that has a big craft store such as Hobby Lobby or Micheal's? I love both of those stores for my scrapbooking needs (okay, wants haha. But the closest ones are an hour away. So when I do get the time to go, I make sure and take a list of products I am out of or running low on. And I try to go when they are having specials or sales. I also subscribe to their weekly ad newsletter so I know when they are having sales. Are you one of the lucky ones? or Do you have to travel to find your scrapbooking and crafting needs?

Lucky! you bet! I can go to both Hobby Lobby and Micheal's easily! In fact, there are two Hobby Lobbies in easy reach, Micheal's not too far and then there's the bead stores! I'm sure if I were more into scrapbooking I'd know where all the scrapbook stores were too 
but I do know where some are!

I live in a very rural area and my closest craft store (Michaels) is 25 miles from me. I do enjoy going there to buy my crafting supplies however, most of the time ordering them from online is easier. When I do get to go to Michaels, I do stock up :-D

Same here, I always stock up and try to go when they are having a good sale. But I have found several places to order online, at good prices and reasonable shipping. And now that I'm into selling it, I can also get it at a discount.

I have to travel. We used to have two scrapping stores in our little town but the last one is closing at the end of May. So I have had a place to buy things...but not a big variety. So it's off to my sister's an hour away for lunch...shopping at Micheals and Hobby Lobby! We have a ball!

I'm not sure scrapbooking is something very popular here, either that or I'm just not updated, haha~!But I do love where you guys come from as you guys have a lot of hobby shops. It's really catching up here but the idea still needs to be more widely accepted

I love MIchaels as well. The nearest one to me is over an hour away. I wish Michaels has a way one can order supplies online and have them delivered. Unfortunately, they do not. I am into candle making and jewelry making. I am hoping to get some money soon so I can get back into making candles and jewelry so I can sell them online in order to make extra cash.

Hobby Lobby does offer online shopping. But, with scrapbooking I like to be able to go pick out my individual papers, instead of just ordering a pack of paper. And they have a bigger variety in the stores.
