If you scrapbook where you do you shop for supplies

So I should create a poll I guess, but I can't be bothered.

All you scrappers out there please tell me where you buy your scrap supplies.

1. Do you buy at a big chain like Michaels, AC Moore or Hobby Lobby
2. Do you buy at a local scrapbooking store
3. Do you order online? If so where, this is the list of online places I have thus far:
I asked my Unpubbed Team the same question and I got a wealth of knowledge back so now I'm asking you guys.

Also what is your favorite and least favorite place to shop for supplies and why?

    I there. I love when people ask me this question. And for no particular reason...I just do :-).

    I buy a majority of my supplies from Michaels, Hobby Lobby and JoAnns. However, I sometimes get things from Target, The Scrapbook Clearance Center and most recently, from the new Archivers. The LSS that was near me, recently closed.

    I don't normally buy things on line...as I want them right THEN. But the times that I have, it's been from KMA (Keeping Memories Alive) and Stamp Attic.

    Other than on-line, I can't think of anywhere that I don't like to buy supplies from.

    Hi Melanie! I just ordered my first kit ever from Scrapbook Lover's Dream - I've been wanting some Love Elsie stuff and you can't get it in Canada. I also wanted to support them seeing as they are supporting us at Unpubbed. I think you need to look at the kits on each kit club and decide if you like the style of the kit maker. I know Jenni Bowlin has one that is REALLY popular and there is a Cupcake one too (made by our current famer). Hope this helps! Have a wonderful day! Kim

    I usually shop at Michaels and AC Moore. If I do go online I go to apeakintoyesterday.com I would have to say that my least favorite place to shop is online becase I am a person who likes to be able to touch what I am buying and see it right then not online.

    1. Do you buy at a big chain like Michaels, AC Moore or Hobby Lobby?

    Sometimes, but not often. There is an Archivers comming here this summer. I can't wait.

    2. Do you buy at a local scrapbooking store?

    90% of everything I buy comes from my LSS.

    3. Do you order online? If so where?

    Hey girl,
    I generally go to my LSS. I have gotten things from Joanns and Micheals too. I actually loooove to shop online. My fave spots are:
    www.thescrapbookstand.com
    www.poppyink.com
    www.imaginisce.com
    making memories
    I like to get kits online and essentials in stores. Now I can tell you that I don't do lots of shopping because I stock up on supplies at the scrapbook expos. I go to 2 a year. check it out at www.scrapbookexpo.com

    Great question!
    I really try and buy at my LSS if I can! I'm on the DT at one of them and, besides, I like to support locally-owned stores.
    But, if I can't find what I need there (and, let's face it, they don't have everything!), I usually go to Hobby Lobby. I prefer it over Michaels. My HL has better choices and they have their 50% sales every week. This week's was 50% off papers and albums, and you can't beat thta!
    I have orderd a few times online, but not much. I prefer touching my scrap stuff before I buy it! lol

    LSS, all the way. I've ordered online only twice.

    I'm very much a touch and feel, hafta see to buy kinda person.

    I only buy at Hobby Lobby or Jo-anns if it's on sale. I got an awesome deal on some Heidi Swapp at Jo-anns in MI last week. I'm talking 97 cent ghost shapes!!

    :) Hope your polling helps.
