I live so close to Hobby Lobby and I have only gone in there probably twice in 13 years. I will…read morebe changing this after my fantastic visit their today. Maybe part of my enjoyment from this visit is that I am opening my eyes to other thing's in life than I did before. There are times that I need to find thing's to do other than physical activity although that is my top priority but in the heat of the Florida summer it is good to explore other options. Let's say I truly never realized how much Hobby Lobby had in their on store! Shocking and yes I payed attention! There is everything from scrapbooking, jewelry making, floral design, fabrics galore and sewing, lot's of yarn and all kinds of needle craft, kitchen ware and baking to cake decorating! There are tons of beautiful home decor and many picture frames! Doll houses, model kits, clay molding and sculpting, wood crafts, leather crafts, doll making, tools for all of these thing's. Hobbies and all sorts of collecting for kids and adults, arts & crafts, games and toys, party supplies and so much more! If you are looking and unsure where to start Hobby Lobby will not disappoint. The prices are great and there seems to be sales going on regularly and you can view the weekly ad easily on their website! If you have a day where the heat is too much or you just would like to do something low key I really would recommend a visit. You could legitimately spend a couple of hours just looking through everything.

I have avoided hobby lobby for YEARS! I don't like their employment policies esp their refusal to…read moreallow employees to receive birth control through their insurance. As a nurse midwife and woman's' advocate, this is far too paternalistic and forceful evangelical behavior. However, as I work to learn how to shop for craft items and fabric effectively, it's the only game in town. (I MISS JOANN'S!!!!!) But be certain that I will limit my support of Hobby Lobby's bottom line as much as possible,

Upon entering the store .......I was NOT greeted but asked if I was planning to go into the bead…read moreroom. Really? Duh...... it's a bead shop! I said yes and was told I needed to leave my purse ...... it really does look like a backpack! In a locker provided up front....... my purse/backpack is camel leather color and expensive, very expensive! Please tell me there are stores that do that???? In my life I have never entered one! I was both embarrassed and upset at the same time. I did not have on my jewelry on or even nice clothes but, I was clean, presentable and expectable and kind and friendly....... I guess his stupid butt did not see me drive up in a 24 Durango with a Hemi and custom paint! As I was shopping (frankly the selection was not even mediocre) the more upset I got! So to that end I decided to leave, as I walked up front to leave.....this guy is giving me the evil eye! I was upset I did not even get close to anything. I told him I was leaving and if he wanted to search me before I left...... well we had words becoz I was disrespected according to him......who is the customer? I was not willing to put up with such a rude jack ass!!!! He gets less than 0 stars from me! He is just one of the guys that will not be around in another year!

I've been an avid beader for many years but I gave it up last year. Never the less, when I saw this…read moreshop the beader in me came out again. Make no mistake about it these are NOT your typical craft store beads! These are specialty beads. Some are even high end or special made by well known crafters. The quality of the higher end beads are amazing. Especially the ones that are made by hand - one by one. The skill needed to accomplish this is amazing! Classes! Grab a calendar in their store and take a look at all the classes they offer. They held 20 classes in January so I'm sure there's something that will pique your interest. The store is spacious - actually huge. The walls and tables are all filled with beads. The merchandising is done fabulously. Every table has a different bead theme to entice you. Employees are helpful when they are available. When I was there I walked around for 20 minutes and no one acknowledged me3. Finally it was Mari who was on her break eating that got up and assisted me. Now that's how it's done!
