Hobby Lobby

I loathe craft stores. There, I put out into the universe. So when I have to come here, I better have a dang good reason to. For example, it’s the Christmas season and I’m out of wrapping paper, bows, gift boxes, and have waited until two weeks before Christmas day to resupply. Off to Hobby Lobby because there is always a half off sale going on.
1) I think every ticked off middle aged woman in Tulsa was at this Hobby Lobby the morning I entered its doors. I literally had my hand on a cart when a lady just waltzed up and grabbed it out of my grip. What? Who does that?! Why this cart and not the ten other empty carts right behind me? Perhaps because I’m short she didn’t see my wee self. Let’s go with that.
2) DO NOT USE THE BATHROOM HERE!!! All CAPS because it is that important. The bathroom is disgusting. The stench of urine alone should make you turn around and run away. I am not kidding. I sucked it up because I was hydrating like mad because I had a marathon to run the next day and could not hold it any longer. It was one of those instances when you really use your quads to squat. And wish you were a man. Oh the male species, so well equipped to deal with nasty bathrooms.
3) The cashier that rang my items up was friendly. She is the reason I give the store two stars. She was personable and kind to not just me but the woman in front of me as well who insisted upon paying in change. And then going over the receipt with the cashier after she was done paying because YOU JUST NEVER KNOW. So bless that cashier’s heart for having the patience of a saint. I wanted to hug her.
It was either Hobby Lobby or Target for wrapping paper and really, who wants to go to Target on a Saturday two weeks before Christmas? Answer: only the insane. So I think I chose the better of the two. I’ll just make sure to use the bathroom before ever stepping foot in here again.

If you are trying to decide between the three Hobby Lobby’s in the Tulsa area, this one is the best (I think) by far! They always have everything I need. I live in this store so they all know me whenever I walk in – which is rare for such a big department store because a lot of people are in and out. Which shows me they actually care about their jobs. Always super helpful and they are all very knowledgable.
Definitely would have to suggest this one over the others.

They have everything in this place. All supplies for all crafts and hobbies. Glass, metal, wood décor items. Silk flowers, garland, Christmas decorations, candles, puzzles, cards, frames art, posters, ready made frames, custom framing, paint, canvas, brushes, fabric, yarn, all sewing supplies. Sometimes things can be damaged, need to check your items before buying them.

Excellent selection of items. There were plenty of employees in the store. Every time I had a question, there was someone knowledgeable nearby.

Love love love Hobby Lobby! I don’t even think I can count the number of times I have stopped here for supplies for various events or projects. There is usually a great sale going on, and if you go to their website you can use the 40% off one item coupon every time you go in.
