Where do you buy your crafting supplies?

We have a Micheals and a Hobby Lobby around here. Hobby Lobby is a bit more expensive than Micheals, and Micheals almost always has a coupon in the Sunday paper. Where do you shop for your crafting supplies? Do you shop at stores or online?

I buy a lot on www.lakelandltd.com its great especaily there sales so I stock up then, EBay is great and I look through second hand shops for adult jeans with sequence on so the kids cut these off and design their own jeans, jackets etc.

I try to pick up most of mine at my local dollar store, but sometimes I will make purchases at wal-mart.

I buy a lot locally at shows, the smallholders show for example is ace for wool and fibre. I also use a lot or feclaimes and vintage ingredients in my crafts, for mor emundane things I get a fair bit on ebay. It just depends what I want to make and what mod I'm in. For me, part of the fun is sourcing the ingredients.

I love Michaels. I got a nice gift certificate for Christmas from my SIL this year and just used it the other day. I bought a bird house and paint and plan to work on it this weekend. I still have money left on my gift card, but I didn't see anything else I wanted at the moment. Another good craft place is called Pat Catan's. There are here in the Pittsburgh area and in OH. They are even bigger than Michaels, but it's not as close to me, so I don't go there as often. Here's the website for it: http://www.patcatans.com/

We have a Michael's and there is a craft section at Wal-Mart. You can also buy things at craft stores and I get a lot of yarn from the local yarn stores. I haven't bought any craft supplies online yet, I like to see the item first. I think I will try going online though, because there is a lot of yarn that you can't get here.

Sometimes I will buy them from oriental trading. Sometimes I will buy them from the chalk board. The girls love that store. Occasionally I will buy at hobby lobby! Love all those stores!

Dang it! I posted a reply and it's not showing again! So here's just the quick of it. I shop at Michaels, Joanns, and a local scrapbook store (you should seek one out in your town b/c they have good deals!) But otherwise onine, www.crafta.com is great. I've shopped there many times. Enjoy!

I have a huge closet that I keep all my crafting supplies in. I like to buy stuff and put it away just incase I might use it later. So, I buy just about anywhere too. If it is on sale that's even better. I've never heard of AC Moore though.
